Elizabeth Ann Maltbie

When the British burned Fairfield during the Revolution ( July,7, 1779 ), the family hid in the trees and ate sweet apples, while their house was being used by the British as a cook house. When they returned, their china was broken on the floor and a kettle of hams was hanging in the fireplace. Fearing that the hams might be poisoned, they threw them out. Capt. Maltbie was a sea captain involved with East Indies trade.

The house still stands on Beach Rd in Faifield, CT Near Town Hall

Mrs. Maltbie's will, (she d. March, 1799), mentions: "a silk dress and best cloak to one daughter, and to another a silk dress, and to one other, a calico dress and petticoat, and to another, a calico dress and petticoat." These notes are only about cloathes; there was mention of real estate and money." (The copyist had only time for these brief notes.) Presumably Sarah and Elizabeth had the silk dresses and Abigail and Anna the calicoes.

Elizabeth Allen, wife of Capt. Jonathan Maltbie, was dau. of Lieut. David Allen and wife, Sarah, dau. of Mr. John Gold. He was son of Lieut. Gideon Allen and wife Anna, dau. of Nathaniel Burr. He was son of Gideon Allen of Swansey, Mass., 1669, and wife Sarah Prud- den.
