Miscellaneous English Maltby Records

 

These notes of the English Maltbys have been gathered from time to time and are simply stray items, mostly unclassified.  However, where the compiler has been able to place an individual, a note at the end of the record has been added in order that those who are interested may have some help in placing the members of the various branches of the family.

An effort has been made to keep the notes in chronological order, but in spite of numerous revisions of manuscript this has not always been possible, and in some cases, to make the family connections more clear, the notes have purposely been misplaced as to dates.

The compiler wishes particularly to acknowledge the help given by Edward C. Harte, Esq., of Wells, Somerset, who furnished a large number of the English notes and was of much assistance with the Heraldry of the Maltbys.  To the Maulsby Genealogy, admirably compiled by Miss Ella K. Barnard of Baltimore, I am indebted for the births, marriages and deaths transcribed from the Orston Registers.  The bulk of the material, in wills, chancery proceedings and so forth, were furnished by Gerald Fothergill, Esqre, of London, whose efficient genealogical services have made possible the publishing of these records and also has done so much toward proving the ancestry of the American Maltbys of New England.

 

English Records 1066 – 1915

 

A.D.

 

1066.  Doomsday Oferdshe – Jonanes Mably vicannis de Brodwell.  Note. – This may be the progenitor of the Maltbys in England.

 

1066.  “The Battle Abbey Roll,” by the Duchess of Cleveland is a list of the Knights, Barons, etc., who accompanied William the Conqueror into England and contains the name “Malebys,” evidently a nickname and in its Latinized form is “Malabestia.”

 

1097.  “The Genealogist,” New Series, Vol. XII., p. 281, has the following: “ces cont les noms e les armes abatues de grand signors, Sire John Malebis, de arg., aiij testes de bis de goul.”  (Rranslation: “These are the names and the arms worn by the great gentlemen, Sir John Malebis, argent, three heads of hinds gules.)  Vide Parliamentary Roll of Arms.  See also Maltby Heraldic Notes.  This was probably a near relative of Hugo (I) de Malebis of Pedigree No. I.

Note. – The above Matthew de Mauteby is evidently the Matthew de Manuteby who accompanied the Earl of Norfolk to Rome in 1245.  pp. 227-226, Vol. XI., Bloomfield’s Norfolk.  By consulting Pedigree IV, it will be found that Richard, who had a son Robert, who had the six sons mentioned above, was very evidently a brother of Simon de Mauteby.

1258.  William Malebisse claims forestry in forest of Gawtrys and Langwath by charter of King Richard, the King’s uncle (Co. York, p. 627, Cal.

Note.—Robert Mautby m. Ellen, dau. Of William Marshall, the younger (Vide Vist. Norfolk).  See PedigreeVIII.  This is very evidently one and the same person.  Perhaps John le Mareschel was a brother-in-law of Robert de Malteby.  Notice that in one record the name is spelled Mautby and in the other Malteby.  This is the first record I find connecting the Maltbys in and way with Ireland.  See also Pedigree IV-A.

 

1284.  Bloomfield, Vol. VI.  The Manor of West Becham (or Beckham).  In 1284 Simon, the Prior, granted the Manor (except advouson and Glebe lands) to Walter de Malteby or Mawtby, Lord of Malteby, and his heirs.  In 1284 Robert de Mawtby had view of frank pledge and assize of bread and beer.  Before this temp.  Henry III. [1216] Walter de Mawtby was sued for imposing a new toll in Becham fair.  See Pedigree IV.  Evidently connected with this family.

1301.  Richard Maltbys (or Malebyse) held a Knights’ fee in Neubo, Co. Lincoln and Acastre, Co. York, (pp. 437-439 Cal. Close Rolls).  This is evidently a descendant of Richard (3), Pedigree I, who founded Neubo Abbey in 1198 and was of Acaster, near York. See Richard (7) Pedigree I.

§ Note.  John Malebys, High Sheriff Co. York, 8 Edw. II, 1314 (p. 352 Eboracum) is evidently the above John Malbys, also spelled Malebisse.  See Pedigree No. I.  John Malebisse mar. Agnes, d. of Sir Edward Willstrope.

1328.  William de Malteby of Retford, Co. York, (p. 363, Cal. Close Rolls).

 

Important note for the American Maltbys.  As East Retford is, we believe, the birthplace of our emigrant ancestor, William Maltby, Esq., this item showing Maltbys seated at Retford as early as 1328, should be of particular interest to us.  We think of East Retford as in Nottinghamshire, and true it is, but Nottingham was anciently in the diocese of York.  The information was kindly given by Harry Speight, Esq., of Yorkshire, the well known author and genealogist.

Note. – Before beginning the records of the next century it may be well to note that in the items above, nearly every person mentioned can be traced, or placed, to the Yorkshire or Norfolk Maltbys found in Pedigrees I., II. and IV.  From the commencement of the 15^th century, 1400 to 1499, it is more difficult to identify the persons contained in the records; this, of course, owing to the fact that the younger sons emigrated to new counties, and also to the greatly increased number of descendants. It shows very clearly, however, that every generation further back we are able to trace our ancestry, just so much easier becomes the task, as there were comparatively few of the name living in the first two or three hundred years after the Conquest.

 

1401.  Thomas Malby, Mayor of Limerick, 1401 (Vide: Feffar’s Hist. of Limerick).

* 1401.  This item may be important and prove the connection between the London Maltbys and the Malebisse family of Yorkshire.  Pedigree I.  William (9) de Malebisse, Miles, 1339; died about 1365; married a daughter of John Sampson, Miles, and here we find in 1402.  Robert Malteby, Citizen of London, suing John Sampson, junior, of Plymouth for 10 marks.  It wife – Sampson Malebisse – and that John Sampson, Jr., was his causin.

Vol. 2, folio 497, Yorkshire Wills).  See Pedigree I., which ends, in 1377, with Walter Maltby who went to the Noly Lands; but from the above will it is conclusively proved that this family did not die out, but was perpetuated through younger sons.

Note. – In Pedigree IV., it will be seen that Sir Walter (5) Mauteby m. Petronella --- and his son, Sir Robert (6), m. Olive ---.  It is probable that Petronella --- was a Somery, hence the ingeritance to her granddaughter, Petronell.  Also it is warthy of note that Bloomfield spells the name Maltaby in Vol. I., p. 243, proving to skeptics that it is the same name as Mauteby.

* The name Roger is uncommon in the Maltby Family up to this date.  Perhaps this Roger is the Roger, Vicar of St. Nicholas.  See under date 1563.  Also in 1592, at Springthorpe, Roger Maltby had a son John, bapt. 26 Nov., 1592.

 

§ The writer has wondered if this John is John Maltby of Kexby Hall, Will 1557.  Presumed to be the ancestor of the American Maltbys of New England, 1667-70.

 

€ Is this Sir Nicholas Maltby of the Irish notes?  The records say: “Sir Nicholas Maltby’s father died when he was four years old – died about 1534.”  This is near enough so that it would be possible for this Nicholas to be one and the same as Sir Nicholas.

 

₤ Anthony Maltby.  This is a name found amongst the Orston Maltbys and also Anthony Marbury is a very common name in the Marbury family.  There seems to be a close connectin here between the Maltbys and Marburys.  See further under Maltby Heraldry.

(Vide p. 401, Vol. XI., Letters and Papers, Foreign and Domestic, Henry VIII, 1536.  See also p. 47, Vol. II., “Henry VIII, and the English Monasteries,” by F. A. Casquet, 6^th edit., pub. John Hodges, 1902.)

 

Note. – “Sir” here is equivalent to “Mr.”  It was the prefix of respect placed before clergymen’s names and equivalent to “Rev’d.”  Simon is a name found in Pedigree IV.

1543.  Mawbye “is a wise fellow”; i. e., Thomes Maltby or Mawbye, who has a provision to contract for victualling the army (!).  The exclamation is added by a contemporary Englishman who furnished the record; before the present war, however.  (Vol. 18, II., p. 130; Vol. 18, I., p. 728, same reference.)

1545.  Thomas Malby of London, fishmonger, regarding victualling Calais and Boulogne (Vol. XX., Pr. 2, p. 194, above reference).  This is evidently the same person as above.

Dorothy, above, is evidently she who marries at Upton, 18 June, 1593, Thomas Tollen.

Note. – This John Maultby, dwelling in Norfolk, is probably a son of Roger Maltby, Vicar of St. Nicholas, Norfolk in 1563.  Does this means Walsingham a place?  And is this John the brother of Sir Nicholas, who he mentions in 1580?

Surrey, Brewer, dated 14 March, 1634-5.  Daughter Elizabeth.  Mary Sherwood, my first wife’s daughter, and to Jona and Josias Jinks, my second wifes sons; to Elizabeth Martin, my cozen.  (Proved in P. C. C., 6 Sept., 1636, by Anne, the relict.  101 Pile.

 

Note. – This is evidently the “brother John” mentioned in the will of Peter Maltby in 1625.

 

1636.  N. B. – The Orston records which follow are in bad shape owing to the register being eaten away, torn and badly damaged.  It will be noted that after 1639 the Maltby records cease until 1662.  As it was in 1641 that William Maltby, gent., who married Jane Brough, was born, it is very probable that his birth follows that of Mary Maltby in 1639, and that he was a son of John and Mary Maltby.

 

1636.  Hugh Maltbie, son of John (hole); Marie, his wife, bapt. (hole)

 

1636.  (eaten away) Maltbie was buried 24 July.

1639.  Mary, the dau. of John and Mary, his wife, was buried 26 Jan.

 

Note. – The descendants of William Maltby of Orston, b. 1641, should study these recores well.  Let us look at the names of the children of John and Mary Maltby, viz.:

1633. Elizabeth.

1634. Anne.

1636. Hugh.

1639. Mary; and there was evidently Thomas, as in 1662 we find:

“Thomas, son of John Maltby, buried 27 Oct., 1662.”

Suppose, for example, William, b. 1641, was a son of the above John and Mary Maltby.  He m. Jane, dau. of George Brough.  Now let us glance over the nemes of his children, as follows:

William, named for himself.

Mary, named for his mother.

George, named for his wife’s father.

Anne, named for his sister and perhaps his grandmother as well.

Thomas,  He evidently had a brother Thomas, and it may have been his grandfather’s name.

John, named for his father.

Charles.  This is not a Maltby name; perhaps it was a Brough name, or on the maternal side of his family.

Elizabeth.  He had a sister Elizabeth.

Surely, it there is anything in the names of children to indicate a family’s descent, here is strong evidence.  And there certainly is a finger post pointing the way, to be read plainly by any genealogist in the way children were named in the early days.

1646.  From Gloucester Notes and Queries, Vol. III., p. 71:  Alice Maberly, wid. parish of Baunton.

 

1647.  Will of John Maultby of E. Retford, Co. Nottingham, alderman, dated 6 Oct., 1647. (Supposed father of the New England emigrants, John, William and Robert.)  Eldest son, John Maltby, houses in Briggate, E. Retford, Carr Lane, close in Little Gringly in Clarborough.  Second son, William, my lands in Springthorpe and Little Corringham, Co. Lincoln.  Eldest dau., Jane Maltby, £100, under 21.  Brother Robert Maultby of Bawtry.  Younger dau., Elizabeth Maltby, £100.  Mrs. Anne Mason, godmother of Elizabeth.  Child my wife is now with, £50.  Wife Mary to hold my house during the nonage of my sons, Jon and “William, to have the residue and to be exex. Sister Ellin Chatterton, 10/--.  Nephew John Maltby, 10/--.  Servant, Alice Moore, 20/--.  Poor of Springthorpe, 20.--.  Brother Robert friends, Mr. Dickens of Saundley, elk., and Beaumont Sutton of E. Retford, gent., to be overseers.  Annie Stounton, Tho Maulby +, Witnesses.  Codicil, 28 Dec., 1647; House in Briggate to be sold and £100 to son John at 21, and the residue for my youngest son, lately born.  Tho. Biggs, Tho. Maultby, P.C.Y., Apl., 1648.  Filed Will.

 

This Will appears again under the American section of the book, but it will bear considerable study here.  From the Retford Baptisms we learn that John Maultbie had a son Richard, bapt. 15 Aug., 1642, and from the Retford Burials that Richard died 7 Aug., 1644.  John Maltby, the father, died 4 Jan., 1647-8.

Mrs. Anne Mason, godmother of his daughter Elizabeth, was probably a connection by marriage, as his niece Margaret married William Mason, gent., of E. Retford.  His nephew John was a son of his brother Robert of Bautry.

If will be notice that in his will John Maltby leaves “Eldest son, John Maltby, houses in Briggate, E. Retford, etc.” And further: “Wife Mary to hold my houses during the nonage of my sons Jon and William,” and still further in the codicil: “House in Briggate to be sold and £100 to son John at 21 and the residue for my youngest son, lately born.”  This youngest son was Robert.  The Retford Baptisms give: “28 Dec., 1647, Robt. Son of John Maultby.”

Now if we turn to the year 1662 we find William Carr and Dorothy, his wife; John Maltby; George Holmes and Mary, his wife; Robert Maltby; Robert White and Johne, his wife, selling two messuages, two gardens, 25 acres of land, etc., in East Retford, etc.

William Carr and wife Dorothy I fail to place.  John Maltby I take to be John, son of John, who had come of age (hence he would have been born in 1641) and was selling the houses in Briggate to secure his £100 and it was probably this money received that started him in the New World, for it will be remembered that only two years later, 1664, April, we find John Maltby’s signature in New England.

George Holmes and Mary, his wife.  This I presume to be Mary Maltby, wid. of John Maltby, who had remarried.  This would explain why no will of a Mary Maltby could be found by Mr. Fothergill.

Robert White and Johne, his wife.  In the will of William, son of Robert Maltby of Bawtry, he mentions: “his cousin, Jane Turnell,” always presumed to be Jane, dau. of John Maltby  Possibly she m. first Robert White.  Much of this is purely conjecture, but it is plausible and worth keeping in mind.

 

Inquisition indented made at Swineshead, Lincoln, 2 Jany., 14 James I., on the death of William Maltby of Billinghay, Lincoln.  Gave his messuage in Billinghay to son William, excepting three arable lands to son Robert; if William die without issue, Thomas is to have the messuage; wife Margery to have messuage until son William is 21.  William senior died 5 Feby., 8 James I.  The messuage was held by knights, service being a twentieh part of a knight’s fee, worth 20/.  That John Maltby is the son and next heir and was aged at the time of his father’s death, 16 or more.  The messuage is in the hands of the King by reason of the minority of John, the son.  Inquest Post Mortem, 4 James 1 pt. 2. No. 65.  Chancery Inquisition, 22 James I., pt. I. No. 71.

 

1645, 22 Nov.  Maltby V. Sanderson,  Orators William Maltby of Willoughton als Willerton, Co. Lincoln, yeoman, and Elizabeth, his wife, and Mary Dales of Willoughton, wid., dau. of Hamond Sutton, dec.  That Hamond Sutton had issue by a first wife, formerly the wife of Pickering, your said Oratrixes, Elizabeth and Mary, and the said Margaret had issue by Pickering, Katherine, now wife of John Chapman of Willoughton aforesaid.  Nicholas Sutton, uncle of Hamond Sutton, fifty years ago settled his estate on the marriage of Hamond Sutton and Margaret Pickering.  Dispute obout the trusts.  Defendants: Sir Peregrine Saunderson, now Lord Castleton; Lady Francis, his mother; Lady Jane Saunderson, wid.; John Chapman, Katherine, his wife and William Tomlinson.  (Chancery Proceedings, Car. I., M. 35-9.)

 

Note. – The Suttons and Maltbys seem to have been closely connected.  The name Hamond Maltby evidently came from the Suttons.  The Will of John Maltby, of E. Retford, 1647, mentions for overseer, “Beaumont Sutton, Gent.”  The Will of Johan Maltbye, 1545, mentions Isabell Sutton.  (It has been thought that the name Isabell in the Maltby family was derived from the Suttons.)  The Will of Robert Maltby of Wilgheton, 1635, mentions son Hammond.  It may also be that the name Nicholas, comes from the Sutton family.

 

1648.  Lambe V. Maltby.  The answer of Margaret Maltby, relict of Martin Maltby, dec., deft., to complaint of Thomas Lambe, Ric. Lyme and Elizabeth, his wife.  Abraham Lambe held land in Stillington holden from Merton Callege, Oxford.  (Chancery Proceedings before 1714, H. 218-17.)

(Bapt. at E. Retford, 2 Aug., 1642, John, son of Robert Maultbie.)  Cosin John Chattor.  (His sister Hellen (or Ellen) m.

William Maltby.  (Chancery Proceedings before 1714, R. 22-139.  See Will of Thomas Maultbie, 1645.)

 

1662.  Buried at Orstor, Thomas, son of John, 27 Oct.

 

1662-65.  The Genealogist, Vol. 10, 1894, p. 164: “Thomas Tancred, Esq., of Broughbridge, a Bart. By Charles II., 1662, buried at Aldborough, 19 Aug., 1663; m. Frances, dau. and co-heir of Christopher Maltby, Esq. of Cottingham.  She was buried at Aldborough, 27 April, 1655 or 1665 (?).  Children: Sir William Tancred and Catherine Tancred.”  (See Pedigree No. II.)

 

1662.  Maltby V. Andrews.  2 Nov., 1662.  Orator John Maltby of Wiborton, Co. Lincoln, yeoman.  Two years since your Orator sold 3 acres of land in Boston to Robert Andrews.  Orator’s wife not of age till Michaelmas next.  Relief from a bond.  (Chanc. Proc. Before 1714. C. 160)

 

1663.  This is the final agreement made between William Wood, clerk, John Booth and Robert Andrews, purchaseors, and John Maltby, gent., and Mary, his wife; vendors of 2 messuages, 2 cottages, 20 acres of land, 40 acres of pasture, 87 acres of pasture and common of pasture for all animals in Billinghay, alias Billinghey, Northkune,  Boston and Kerton in Holland.  Feet of Fines, 15 Car. 11., 1663, Mic.

Notts.  Feet of Fines, 14-15. Car. II., 1662.

 

Note. – The above are evidently descendants of Richard Maltby, Will proved 1638.  Dorothy, w. of Sir George Savile is evidently a dau. of Elizabeth Maltby Hallifax or of her brother, William Maltby.  Sarah Maltby m. William Parke and had a dau. Sicely, who is evidently the wid., Cecilia Cherbury.  Margaret Maltby m. William Mason, gent., and Mary Maltby m. Robert Rarmary.  The John Maltby is evidently John, the son of Richard’s brother John, or in other words, the John we believe emigrated to New England.  His father having died, he evidently was co-heir with his cousins.

 

The following agreement has previously been mentioned and it is believed to be the sale which furnished the funds for John Maltby to start life in the New World.

 

1662.  Final agreement between John Darell, gent.; John Ward and Elizabeth, his wife; Richard Oter, Anne, his wife, purchaseors, William Carr and Dorothy, his wife; John Maltby, George Holmes, Mary, his wife, Rebert Maltby, Robert White and Johne, his wife, vendors of two messuages, two gardens, 25 acres of land, 6 of meadow, 2 of pasture and common of pasture with appurts, in East Retford, West Retford and Babworth in Co. Notts.  Feet of Fines Trinity, 14 Car. II., 1662.

 

Note. – The Dorothy Carr I fail to place.  John Maltby is evidently the son of John, Will proved 1647-8, and when he became of age the property in Briggate was to be sold and he was to receive £100 and his brother Robert was to have the residue.  Consequently John Maltby was evidently b. in 1640-41.  Mary Holmes I take to be his widowed mother, who m. George Holmes and Johne (Joan) White may have been his sister Jane.

 

1665.  John Mabley, son of Luke, buried at St. Michael, Cornhill, Sept. 17, 1665 (p. 225) Old Yorkshire.

 

1664.  Indenture made 25 April, 16 Car. II., 1664, betweene Owfeld als Oldfeld of Elsham, Co.

1665.  Abstract of Will of Sarah Maltby of Springthorpe, Co. Lincoln, widow, dated 6 Jany., 1664.  (Widow of Richard, Will proved 1638.)  Daughter Margaret Mason, Daughter Elizabeth Hallifax’s children.  Daughter Mary Farmary’s children, which I paid for Robert Farmary, her husband, to one John Atkinson of E. Retford.  Sarah, daughter of Robert Farmary.  Son-in-law, William Parke, dec., Sicely, his daughter.  Nephew Richard Hornby of Springthorpe.  Thomas, son of William Hornby.  Richard, son of Richard Hornby.  Margaret and Elizabeth, sisters of said Richard.  Servant, Anthony Smith.  Richard Tyler, Brother John Hornby.  Son-in-law John Hallifax to be exor.  Robert Spicer, Thomas Robinson, William Parks, Witnesses.  Proved in Arch of Stow, 17 April, 1665, 237.

 

Note. – For some reason unknown William cut his two eldest brothers off with a very small share of his estate.  It would appear that his mother was Anne Stoakham from his Will.

 

1666.  14 Nov.  Administration of the goods of William Maltby of S. Dunstan’s in West London, to Elizabeth, the relict.  (Query: Is this a connection with Sir George Maltby, will proved 1639? See Irish records.)

 

1667.  10 Dec.  Administration of Cuthbert Maultby of All Hallowes, Lombard St., London, to Elizabeth, the relict.  P.C.C.

 

1667.  Maltby V. Marshall.  18 May, 1667.  Orator Daniel Maltby of Doncaster, Co. York, aged 17, by his guardian, Richard Thwaites, of Arnthorp.  Messuage called the Crown in Bawtry.  Orator’s father was Robert Maltby.  Title.  Defts.  Rowland Cottan, John Noble, Benjamin Marshall.  (Chane, Proc. Before 1714, Ham 489.

 

1666.  York Marriage Licenses.  Ric. Thwaytes,* gent., als Clarworth or Tickhill of Armthorpe and Barba Maltby, aged 18, of Bawtry, spinster, 1666.

 

* It was Isabel Thwaites whom William Rairfax of Steeton carried off from the clutches of the Abbess of Nun Appleton.  Isabel Thwaites was a great heiress and Mother Church intended her for its own, but Will Fairfax managed to get her out of the church where she  was confined and they were married at Bolton Percy “and there was scarce any end of the riches this stolen bride showered upon the happy thief.”  The Abbess lived to see the Dissolution and her nunnery was granted to none other than the son of William and Isabel Thwaites Fairfax..

 

Note. – It will be seen that the guardian of Daniel Maltby was his brother-in-law, husband of his sister Barbara.  Benjamin Marshall is perhaps the “Capt. Benjamin Marshall of Doncaster: mentioned in the Will of William Maltby, 1665, older brother of Daniel of Doncaster.

Note. – From this item we find that Robert Maultby of Bawtry sold a house in Bawtry to Richard Beare a short time before 6 August 1672.  It was probably in order to have ready money for his voyage to New England that he sold this house.  See under American notes where Robert Maltby, Senior, was a “stranger in New Haven,” Dec. 29, 1671.

 

1672-3.  Abstract of Will of Hammon Maltbie of Thonnocke, Co. Lincoln, batchelor, dated 15 March, 1671-2.  Brother William’s son William.  Brothers Thomas, John, Mathew.  Sister Mary Labley. House in Bishops Norton (Proved in Archdeacony Stow, 6 March, 1672, 123.)

Simpson and Eliz. Partridge.  (Chanc. Proc. Before 1714, C. 542-206.)

 

Note: -- This also bears out the supposition that to raise money to go to New England, Robert Maltbie mortgaged his three messuages in Bawtry.  See American notes, where he mentions “ye wrong sustained in coming from England,” etc.

 

1673.  Maltby V. Alured.  15 June, 1673.  Oratix Sarah Maltby, spinster, ye only daughter now living of Robert Maltby of Bawtry, Co. York, by the said Robert, her father and guardian.  Anne Maltby of Bawtry, ye elder, (her grandmother) was, during her widowhood, seized of a good estate.  To recover rents.  Ann Maltby, the younger, dec. sister to your Oratrix.  The answers of Mary Coulson, Richard Wayne (or Waynd) and Dorothy, his wife, defts, to bill of Sarah Maltby, an infant, by Robert Maltby, her guardian.  Robert Coulston of Cottingham was agent for Ann Maltby, the elder, as collector of rents.  Ann directed that any money that should remain more than herselfe should receive should receive should go to the children of one Robert Maltby, which they believe were Ann, who is since dec. and Sarah, the now complt.  Ready to perform the trusts.  The answer of John Alured, a defendant.  Anne Maltby died intestate, Oct. 19, Cor. II., (1667-8) and admon, was granted to this deft. As next of kin by the P.C.Y.  Estate of Ann Maltby.  (Chane. Proc. before 1714. C. 63.)

 

Note. – It would seem that Ann, w. of Robert Maltby of Bawtry, will proved 1663-5, was an Alured or possibly John Alured was a sister’s son.  If she were an Alured, then William Maltby, Will 1666-7, was probably the son by a first wife (perhaps Barbara) Stoakham.  It also would seem that Robert Maltby, returning to England and needing funds, tried to collect rents from the estate left his infant daughter by her grandmother.  The fact that this Robert of Bawtry was slighted in his brother’s will and that he seems to have been in more or less legal difficulties, rather points to the fact that he was persona non grata with his relatives.

 

1675.  Abstract of Will of William Maltby of Speeton, Co. York, yeoman, dated 15 May, 1675.  Grandchild Katherine Johnson, my house in Bridlington, remainded to her sister, Elizabeth Johnson.  Son-in-law John Hodgsen.  Grandchildren Benjamin Johnson and George Hodgson.  Eme Maltby, wife of John Lumbard.  Brother Robert Maltby’s children, living at Flamboro.  Brother Rovert Norram’s two daughters.  Son Richard Hardye’s children.  Son Thomas Vickerman’s children.  Son-in-law John Vickerman of Bridlington.  Grandchild Tho.

Answer (p. 331):  “If anything be due Sergeant Malby it is from her (Bradshaw’s widow) but Malby did not leave the country, as Mr. Shanke alleges, for he served a considerable time in the country’s pay after Governor Fletcher’s arrival.”

 

Note. – It would be of considerable interest and great value if it could be ascertained just who was this Malby, serving in the army or navy in 1697.  Could it have been the emigrant, Robert Maltbye, brother of John and William?

 

1697-8.  Abstract of Will of John Maultby of Broxholme, Co. Lincoln, farmer, dated 7 March, 1697-8.  Son-in-law William Quip of Thorp in the Fallowes.  Wife Elizabeth.  Sister Mary Blakey.  Sister Anne Kilne.  Brother Richard Maltby.  (Proved in Arch Stow, 1697-8, by the exors.  146.)

With the hope that some descendant, either in England or the States may be able to furnish some information concerning the following item we are publishing it in this book.  Anyone who can throw any light on this subject is earnestly requested to inform the compiler.

“The Hisory of Massachusetts, from the first settlement in 1628 to 1750 by Thomas Hutchinson, late Governor of Massachusetts, Boston, 1795,” page 357.

(In the year 1740.)  “At length it being known that Lord Euston’s election for Coventry was dubious, one of these gentlemen undertook to the Duke of Grafton to secure the election, provided Mr. Belcher might immediately be removed, and to accomplish his design he represented to Mr. Maltby, a large dealer in Coventry stuffs, and a zealous dissenter, that Mr. Belcher was with the Episcopal clergy, conspiring the ruin of the Congregational interest in New England, and unless he was immediately removed, it would be irrevocably lost; that the Duke of Grafton had promised if Lord Euston’s election could be secured it should be done; that letters to his friends in Coventry would infallibly secure it; that he could not better employ his interest that in the cause of God and religion.  Maltby swallowed the bait, used all his interest for Lord Euston; the two gentlement spent three weeks at Coventry, and having succeeded, agreeable to the Duke’s promis, Mr. Belcher was removed a day or two after their return.  This account I received from Mr. Maltby himself, who lamented that he had suffered himself to be so easily imposed on.”

From the syntax in would seem that the “Mr. Maltby” of whom Governor Hutchinson wrote, resided in the Colony and journeyed to England to labor for the interests of the Congregational Church in New England, and that he returned to New England, where he had an interview with Governor Hutchinson.  Who was this “Mr. Maltby?”  Was it Captain Samuel (2) Maltby?  The Genealogist can think of no other Maltby who would have been of the proper age and educationally fitted for such a mission.  If this was Samuel (2) Maltby, did he visit relatives in England at this time, and did he perhaps bring back that “coat-of-arms” which figures in the inventory of his estare some ten years later?

Could some reader look up the above mentioned reference?  Doubtless if we had more material copied we should have some clue to the identify of the “Mr. Maltby” mentioned.  Possibly ther are other references to the Maltbys in this book.  It is certainly worth investigating.

Note. – A letter from Lady Drake to the compiler, dated April, 1905, Nutwell Court, Lympstone, Devon, explains the history of the above person, who, although a Drake by blood, had no right to style himself “Sir Frances.”  Lady Drake’s sympathies seemed to be with the unfortunate Miss Maltby.
