V.411. Elizabeth Maltbie, bp. Jan. 2, 1774 (Jonathan 4, Jonathan 3, Jonathan 2, Wm. 1). Mar. Dec. 6, 1803, John Allen of North Sherman.
V.412. Jonathan Maltbie, bp. Mar. 5, 1775, Fairfield (Jonathan 4, Jonathan 3, Jonathan 2, Wm. 1). According to a friend, Capt. Jonathan, who died in 1798, did not mention this son in his will. Jonathan would have been about 23 years of age in 1798, and is considered to have died unmarried.
