bend gules, 3 garbs (sheaves of wheat) cottissed gules."
Again, quoting the "Winthrop Papers, Vol. VIII, p.508" we have a letter from William Leste, (Governor) to John Winthrop, Jr.(son of Gover- nor Winthrop) dated
"Newhaven, Apr. 13, 1671."
"I have herein inclosed Governor Lovelace his letter, but the in- structions are with Mr. Eliot for perusall.
Here is no news with us, but of Mr. Malby's arrival safe at Nevis; that ship he went in being there cast away by herracane after the goods were landed and he since gone for England."
It seems evident that on returning from England his two younger brothers, William and Robert came with him as we have the "New Haven, Conn. record, p.165" where:
"Dec. 29 - 1671 "Mr. Robert Maltbye, Sr. and Robert Maltbye, Junior" were drinking and Robert, Senior, appears to have been "distempered" but pleaded his "ow ness and the wrong he had sustained in coming from England and being to return again "he was released from the fine. They are called "strangers" in this record. Robert, Senior, as shown elsewhere in this book, was a first cousin of the emigrant brothers, John, William and Robert. Robert, Junior, was in New England as late as April 16, 1673, when he witnessed the purchase of William's homestead at Branford. It was pro- bably for this journey that Robert, Senior, borrowed the 50 pounds, as will have been shown in the English records.
The first mention on record of William Maltby in New England is on 29 March, 1672 (Town Records, New Haven. 1662-1684, p.18) when: "I, John Maltbie of Newhaven in New England, Merchant, in consideration of my be- loved brother, William Maltbie, new resident in Newhaven in New England, Merchant, ingaging with mee in a bond for the payment of 35 pounds in pork and pease unto Mr. Richard Raymond, Senior, of Saybrook, in New England, Mariner, sometime in March next as in and by said bond doth more fully appear.
