Generation
Miss Emma Lee Walton, of Chicago, writes: " Once upon a time I knew some Maltbys in Northampton, Mass., when I visited George Cable's niece. I liked them so thoroughly and was so delighted with their quaint old home with its charming furnishings.
The girl I knew was Edith. She lived with her aunt who was a bit superstitious and would not let her niece register at Smith College on Friday the 13th, and there was a great to do.
The Aunt was a delightful New England 'lady' in the real sense, but she had very strong notions of the deference due to elders and the power of the number thirteen."
Note. The "Aunt" referred to was Miss Elizabeth Marshall Maltby. When I visited for a week-end at Miss Capen's School, Northampton, Miss Maltby's home was considered one of the most exclusive and select in the place. It was arranged for me to visit her, but I could not remain due to engagements already made in New Haven. I received letters from her, the first ones, formal, "not interested in family records," but, in later years, delightful, "cousinly" letters.
George Cable's niece was evidently a cousin by marriage of these Maltbys, as Mary Hopkins Cable married John Breckenridge, whose great- granddaughter was wife of Anson Charles Maltby, brother of Elizabeth Marshall Maltby.
Louise Bogardus was dau. of Abram Bogardus, son of Cornelius and Eleanor Bogardus. She was descended from the famous Anneke Janse Bogardus whose farm is now the land on which Trinity Church, New York City, stands. Dr. Maltby was educated at Amherst College and Yale Uni- versity. Res. 128 West 47th Street, New York City.
VIII.3476. Charles Anson Maltby called "Anson"), b. Sept. 8, 1847 (Lafayette 7, Anson 6, Tim.5, Sam.4, Sam.3, Sam.2, Wm.1). He was assemblyman of New York City.
In a letter dated Dec. 20, 1893, he wrote to George R. Malby, Esq., Speaker of the New York House, later Senator. "In 1666 the traditional two brothers, John and William Maltby (fleeing probably before the wrath of Providence in the shape of the great plague of London or some oppressive decree of King or Parliament) came from London to New Haven, Conn., and settled in the vicinity. The family hive was at North Brad- ford nearby. Hence issued all the Maltbys that I ever heard of, being of American birth.
They are of sturdy New England stock and have scattered after our people's fashion over the face of this country.
My particular branch went early in the century to Oswego County and Western New York, and I myself came from the South. Generally they have been an energetic, moral and temperate, law-abiding people.
Our name is derived from two towns in the north easterly part of England, "Maltby" and "Maltby-le-Marsh and the word is Danish, in origin, meaning Malt-town."
Note. Senator George R. Malby comes from Yorkshire, England. There is a strong resemblance to Julius Maltby of Waterbury, Conn., and George Ellsworth Maltby of New Haven, Conn.
Our name is definitely derived from the Manor of Maltby in Cleveland (North Yorkshire) which they held as early as prior to 1200. Maltby- le-Marsh is near the east coast, Lincolnshire. But there are two other Maltbys. Maltby near Rotterham, South Yorkshire, which is not known to have had any of the name there, unless at a very early date. Maltby,
