Note. From 1672 until Mch. 27, 1682, the name of William Maltby appears upon the records every year. From 1682 until 1685 I find no mention of him. Did he go to England?
Whereas it does not seem likely, it will not do to omit mention of a pedigree of Brough, compiled by Charles Langley Maltby of England in 1909. The pedigree begins with Richard Brough and wife Jane--of Shelton, Notts." The Shelton Register gives them four children, viz: George, b. 1631; Anne, b. 1633; Abigail, b. 1635; and "Mary, bapt. 20 Mar. 1636, mar. William Maltby, 1682."
Nothing further of Anne or Mary. George Brough, b. 1631, d. 1708, and was father of Jane Brough who married at Shelton, 1682, William Maltby, of Graton, Notts. Abigail b. 1635, mar. at Shelton, 1688, Thomas Socker.
The Graton Maltbys thought it was the New England William Maltby who married Mary Brough in 1682. It is of course possible that our William Maltby went to England and married her in 1682, but in any case it is evident there were no children by this marriage.
Returning to New England.
Feb. 27, 1685. The Will of Thomas Hosmer of Hartford, Conn., mentions "daughter Hannah Malby" and "son-in-law Malby." Therefore we know that Hannah was his wife by 1685.
