November 21, 1770, at East Haven, and lived there till birth of first child, then to Wolcott, Mary Hotchkiss, (b.

From "Record of Service of Connecticut Men in War of the Revolution, 1889
Captain Bradley's Company of Matrosses (Artillery), (This company, raised for the defence of New Haven, was stationed partly in the town and partly at East Haven and West Haven, at the time of Tryon's invasion.) Elihu Molthrup, Sergt Time of Enlistment Feb 5, 1779, Discharged Feb. 4, 1780.
Captain Bradley's Company, New Haven Elihu Molthrop, Sgt Time of Enlistment April 3, 1880 Discharged Jan. 1, 1787
Captain Van Deursen's Company 1781 Sergeants:: Jan 1, 1781 to Aug. 1, 1871 (Payroll of State Guards Stationed at New Haven, 1781)
There is some discrepancy in these records. The Srgt Elihu Molthrop who was serving in Captain Bradley's company was discharged in 1787 - 5 years after the death of the Elihu Molthrop whose death is found in the Barbour Collection. There may have been two men from East Haven named Elihu Molthrop. The Sergeant Elihu Molthrop serving in Captain Van Deursen's Company was on the payroll at the same time as the Sgt Elihu Molthrop in Captain Bradley's Company. However, I doubt there was a third Elihu Molthrop so I am guessing one of these men who served in the Revolution is the one married to Mary Hotchkiss, probably the one serving with Captain Van Deursen's Company. There are also two dates of death for Mary Moulthrop. The family histories say the widow of this Elihu Molthrop died 30/Mar/1826 and the The East Haven (CT) Death Register lists "Mary Moulthrop, widow of Elihu Moulthrop Jan 30,1807 at 61"
