Reversio due me out of the estate of Josiah Willard of Wethersfield. To my son-in-law, Malby # 5, etc." Pr. 1 Sept. 1687.
In 1687-8. Mar. 7. Church Members, Branford.
"Wm. Maltby - Hannah Maltby" and---
1689-90. Hannah Maltbie and William Maltbie witness a deed of John Yale, at Branford.
She must have died by 1692, as Samuel Maltby, son of William and Abigail Bishop Maltby was born Aug. 7, 1693, at Branford. No other record of Hannah Maltby has been found insofar as I can learn. No record of William's marriage to Hannah could be found at Branford, Wethersfield, Hartford, or Northampton, where Thomas Hosmer resided.
