During the Revolutionary War, about 1777, Capt. Daniel Maltbie was a member of the Committee of Safety at Branford.

In April 1744. Daniel Maltbie was admitted one of the freemen of Branford. His home at Northford, was on the Main street. He was a farmer. He was one of the twenty founders of the First Church in Northford, incorporated June 13, 1750, under the pastoral care of Rev. Warham Williams. (Northford Church Rec.)
