"Mrs. Ira Wilder's aunt mar. Ersatus Maltby. Mrs. Wilder told me so when we both lived in Flint, Mich., in 1873/4."

Again, a descendant writes: "Mother used to speak of Aunt Hannah and Aunt Polly. She also spoke of Erastus."

It is known Erastus had one son, Curtis White Maltby.

     Child:
VI.633.  Curtis White Maltby, b. near Corning, N. Y.



V.243. Hannah Maltby. Whether or not Hannah should be included as child of Joseph (4) I do not know. We have the statement "Mother used to speak of Aunt Hannah and Aunt Polly. Hannah might well have been Hannah, wife of Joseph (5) and Polly might have been the wife of Erastus (5). Personally I do not feel Hannah should be included as a dau. of Joseph (4). Another descendant wrote: "Hannah (?) mar. Mr. Hausmer." (Hosmer?)

Aaron mar. Miss Maltby, his children were: Aaron, Betsey, Lydia, Israel, Bela, Cynthia, Annie, Joel. Eldad Post was a Revolutionary soldier and founded Post Mills, Vermont. I have a copy of a Deed drawn in 1798, by Aaron Post disposing of his lands in Post Mills. He was a descendant of Stephen Post who settled Saybrook, Conn."
