THE TALMAGE OF TALLMADGE FAMILY. BY JAMES M. B. DWKiHT, OK NEW HAVEN, C'OXN. By Permission. This family name has been variously written in different iages, Talmage, Tallmadge, Talmash, Talmacke, Tolle- mache, and in several other ways. The family is one of the most ancient in English history, and is traditionally believed, says Burke, to go back to Saxon times to Toelmag, a Saxon Lord of the 6th century of our era. The name is found as Toelmag in Domesday Book, time of William the Conqueror, and also on the Roll of Battle Abbey of the sarhe century in the Norman form Tolle- mache. It is found at Stoke Talmage in Oxfordshire in 1 1 35; in Norfolk in 1200; in Suffolk at a very early date, and in Hampshire soon after 1300. The seat of the family in Hampshire was at Newton Stacey, an outlying manor of Barton Stacey, in the County of Hampshire or Southamp- ton, and about ten miles northwest of Winchester, where the family had been long settled. In respect to the early history of the American family of Talmage or Tallmadge, I would say that historical writers have made numerous mistakes and given a most confused and incorrect account of the matter. The principal author- ity is "Thompson's History of Long Island," whose state- ments found in several parts of -th-e volume are confused, misleading and contradictory of each other. They are probably derived from some aged member of the family who has mixed up his generations, as so often happens. For example, Thompson says, p. 297, "Thomas Ta.lmage, Jr., (known as the Recorder, or Town Clerk, of East Hamp- ton,) was the son of Enos Talmage, of New Haven, who it is supposed died here. Thomas Talmage, brother of Enos, made freeman of Boston 1634, and of Lynn 1636, settled at Branford, in Connecticut, whence he removed and died at New Haven. " On another page he says, "Thomas Jr., son of Enos, had brothers Enos, Thomas and Daniel, which last removed to New Jersey, in 1725." The real fact was that these three were grandsons of Thomas, Jr., the Recorder, and great grandsons of Thomas, Sr. , of Lynn, who was the first of the name in Southampton and East Hampton. To the New Jersey branch of the family, descendants of Daniel above mentioned, belong the Rev. Dr. T. DeWitt Talmage, his brother the Rev. Goyn Talmage, and Daniel Talmage and sons, of Brooklyn, This branch of the Tal- mages has intermarried with the Van Nest and Beekman families. Enos was not one of the emigrants from England. These w^ere William of Boston, Thomas of Lynn and after- ward of Southampton and East Hampton, and Robert of New Haven, three brothers. Robert of New Haven had a son Enos, who was killed by the Indians in the massacre at Schenectady, and a second Enos who appears in the above confused accounts of Thompson as one of the original em- igrants, was really in all probability, a grandson of Thomas, the Recorder, and a great-grandson of Thomas Talmage, Senior, of Lynn and East Hampton. He appears in the Town Records of East Hampton in 17 17 and 1721. Judge Hedges in his address of 1849, seems to have fol- lowed the same authority and been led by him into the same mistakes, which are refuted by the Town Records of Southampton and East Hampton. These unfortunate errors make it important to state cor- rectly the true beginnings of the Talmage family in America, the evidence of which has only recently come to light, and which places the matter beyond further doubt or uncertain- ty. Thomas Lechford was an English lawyer who came to Boston in 1638 and returned to England in 1641. He was the first practising lawyer in Massachusetts. He kept a note book of legal memoranda which has been recently printed, in which occurs the following entry, p. 294, old 167 : "William Talmage of Boston, in New England, Thomas Talmage, Robert Talmage and Richard Walker, husband of Jane Talmage, deceased, sonnes and daughter of Thomas Talmage, brother of John Talmage, of Newton Stacey, in the County of Southampton, deceased, make a letter of at- torne)^ to Richard Con3'ing and William Dowlying, over- seers of the will of the said John Talmage, deceased, to re- ceive of the executor and administrator of the last will and testament of S3'mon Talmage our brother and of John Tal- mage, aforesaid, the summes of money due unto us by the will of the said John TalniAge (and a certificate under the public seal (L. S.)" Page 311 new, old 175: "A letter of Attorney by William Talmage, Thomas Talmage and Robert Talmage aforesaid, and Richard W^alker to Mr. Ralph King, to receive the mon- ey of the said overseer. Dated Sept. 3, 1640. (A certificate made under the pul)lic seal (L. S.)" These memoranda show conclusively that there were three brothers Talmage who came to America — William, Thomas and Robert — -and a sister Jane, who married Rich- arcl Walker, of Lynn. These came from England to New England in 1630, and no others are known to have come to America in the Colonial period. The record also establishes the fact that they were child- ren of Thomas Talmage, of Newton Stacey, in the County of Southampton or Hampshire, England. It also proves that they had an uncle, John Talmage, who left each of them legacies in his will, and also a brother, Symon Tal- mage, who also mentioned them in his will and referred to these legacies. These three brothers and sister's husband gave a power of attorney to Ralph King to receive the mon- ey. We thus obtain the names of the three founders of the Talmage name and family in America. We learn their res- idence in England and learn of the wills of uncle and broth- er there. During the last year, 1895, I have had these wills searched for and found in England, and obtain from them the names of the legatees above mentioned, who are the three Talmage brothers and their sister Jane. This power of attorney and these English wills are thus dovetailed together, and establish the fact of the English origin and former home of these brothers beyond question. I have also further traced the family descent through wills and subsidies to an earlier Robert Talmash, whose will is dated 1523, and who must have been born before 1500. Still more recent advices carry the family backward nearly to 1300, where at the head of the line stands Sir William Talmach. We find in the Suffolk line a Sir William Talla- mach of the same date (see Collin's Peerage). We have rea- son to believe that these two are one and the same, and that the Suffolk and Hampshire line of the family are unit- ed here. The elder of the three Talmage brothers, William, settled in Boston, and died leaving only daughters. The second brother, Thomas Talmage, settled in Lynn, Mass. He was admitted freeman in Boston in 1634, and was allotted there 200 acres of land, which shows that he was a man of substance. (See Lewis' History of Lynn, p. 114. The Council had agreed that each person who had ad- vanced fifty pounds should have 200 acres, and that each person who came over on his own expense should have 50 acres.) He thus became one of the largest landholders in the town. He removed to Southampton, Long Island, in 1642, and joined the colony from Lynn which settled there and in 1649 he removed to East Hampton with his son Thomas Talmage, Junior, who became the first Recorder or Town Clerk of the Town. The Long Island and New Jersey branches of the family are descended from Thomas Tal- mage, Sr. , and his son, Thomas Talmage, Jr., the Record- er, also known as Captain Thomas Talmage. Thomas Tal- mage, Senior, died soon after coming to East Hampton, in 1653. Thomas Talmage, Junior, was a man of education with a scholarly and elegant handwriting, which resembles that still taught at the famous school at Manchester, so near his English birth-place. May he not have been a pu- pil of this famous school? He was a man of much promi- nence in the early history of the town, and, says Judge Hedges, "the records show that at his death in 1690 he was the richest man in East Hampton." Robert Talmage, the youngest of these three brothers, probably came with Thomas Talmage to Southampton in 1642, and when his brother left there, himself removed to Connecticut, and settled at New Haven in 1643, where he married and died in 1662, leaving also a considerable es- tate, which is now in the business center of the city, (corner Chapel and State streets), and of great value. From him all of the name in Connecticut have descended, and also a numerous body of his descendants is found in New York City and S-taJie. The Connecticut and New York f)ranch of the family has produced many men of distinction- in public life and in the service of the country. Among- them we find Hon. John Tallmadge, for many years elected to the General Assembly of Connecticut ; his brother, Colonel Benjamin Tallmadge, of Revolutionary fame, the friend of Washington, and now represented by his grandson, Fred- erick S. Tallmadge, President of the Society of the Sons of the Revolution. We find many distinguished Judges of the higher Courts r)f the several States and of the United States, others noted as Governors and Lieutenant Governors of States, and as Senators and Representatives in the National Congress. This branch of the family has intermarried with many of the first families of the country, and has much wealth and social prominence. Among noted families thus connected with it may be named that of Governor Yale, the founder of Yale College; that of Governor George Clinton, Vice-President of the United States : the Lewis family, the Burnetts, the Van Rensselaers, the Hookers, the Dwights, the Pomeroys, the Delafields and the Floyds. It has also been connected with families of distinction both in France and England. The spelling of the name in America, as in England, has gone through several variations. The Talmages of East Hampton and New Jersey spell the name Talmage, as it is spelled by Lechford, though Thomas Talmage, the Record- er, their ancestor, for many years spelled it Tallmage and sometimes without the e at the end, which shows that he pronounced it Tall-mag, (g soft). The Connecticut Tallmadges, and those of New York, de- scendants of Robert Talmage, have from the beginning spelled the name with a d and written it as it was spelled in the will of the English Lhicle John Tallmadg, whcj left to :he three brothers the legacies before mentioned as stated in Lechford 's note book. In Lewis' History of Lynn the name is spelled both ways which shows thtit Tliomas Tallmasj' also s]:)elled his name Tallmadg'e. Thus l)oth spellinjj^s are of equal authority and antiquity in America, and both are found in Enodand at a much earlier period long before the emigration. There is one point also important to observe, viz. : that the ancient names of the family — Talmage, Tallmadge, Talmash, Tal- mache, Tollemache — are used interchangeably; one ancestor using one form, his son another, and the same using difTer- ent forms at different times. This shows that whatever the spelling they really were pronounced alike. This proves that the name was never pronounced Talmage as we do now with a short a in the first syllable and a long a in the second syllable, but that it was pronounced wdth the first a as in tall and the second as in lad; so that the spelling Tallmadge exactly represents its ancient sound and was no doubt adopt- ed to indicate and preserve this. And this is made still more evident by giving the g its sound in Norman French of zh, which makes Talmage, Tallmadge and Tollmache practically identical in sound. The ancient name is represented by two titles in the Peer- age of England, that of the Earls of Dysart who have spell- ed the name Talmash, and that of Lord Tollemache who holds the ancient seat and lands of the family at Helming- ■ham Hall, in Suffolk- THG GGNGALOGV — OF-— THG TALAAGG FAAILV. From Lewis" History of Lynn we learn that "Early in the Spring of 1630, eleven vessels, having on board about seven- teen hundred persons, left the harbor of Southampton, Eng- land, and sailed for New England. In the number of pas- sengers were Mr. John Winthrop, the first Governor of Massachusetts, with many other persons of dignity, wealth and reputation. As Mr. Humfrey, who had been chosen Deputy Governor, was not ready to remove, Mr. Thomas Dudley was chosen in his stead. In the month of June the ships arrived at Salem, and the passengers began to make settlements in the pathless woods. Mr. Dudley says that some of them settled 'upon the river of Saugus. ' Others went to Charlestown and Boston ; and the rest began new settlements at Roxbury, Dorchester, Watertown and Med- ford." (The History of the United States also corroborates this.) "The Conncil had agreed that each person who advanced fifty pounds, should have two hundred acres; and that each one who came over on his own expense should have fifty acres. " Among those who arrived at Lynn this year (1630) were Thomas Talmage^, (who was admitted a freeman in 1634). He had a son Thomas^. "In 1637 a town meeting was held in which Daniel Howe, Richard Walker and Henry Collins were chosen a committee to lay out ffarmes. " 15 "In 1638 the committee appointed by the town to lay out the farms, completed their tasks and a book was provided, in which the names of the proprietors, with the number of acres allotted to each, were recorded. They laid out a farm of 200 acres to Thomas Talmage^, and one of 20 acres to his son, Thomas Talmage^." "In 1640 about 'forty' families 'finding themselves straiten- ed' left Lvnn with the design of settling a new plantation. They invited Mr. Abraham Pierson, of Boston, to become their minister, who with seven of the emigrants entered into a church covenant before they left Lynn. They sailed in a vessel commanded by Captain Daniel How^e, to Scout's Bay, in the western part of Long Island, where they purchased land of Mr. James Forrett, agent of Lord Stirling, and agreed with the Indians for their right. On receiving in- fcimation of this, the Dutch laid claim to that part of the Island, on account of a previous purchase of the Indians, and sent men to take possession, who set up the arms of the Prince of Orange on a tree. The Lynn people, disregarding the claims of the Dutch, cut down the tree and began to build. Captain Howe likewise took down the Prince's arms, and instead thereof an Indian drew a very 'unhand- some face.' This conduct highly incensed the Dutch gov- ernor, William Kieft, whom Mr. Irving, in one of liis hum- orous works, has characterized by the appellation (jf 'Wil- liam the Testy,' but whom Mr. Hubbard denominates 'a discreet man,' who on the thirteenth of May, sent Cornelius Van Ten Hoven the secretary, the undersheriff, a sergeant, and twenty-five soldiers, to break up the settlem.ent. The}'' found eight men, with a woman and an infant, who had erected one cottage and were engaged in building another. They took six of the men, whose names were John Tarring- ton, William Harcher, Philip Kertland, Nathaniel Kertland, Job Sayre and George Wells, and brought them before the governor. These he examined on oath, and then put them in prison, where ttiey remained while he wrote a Latin let- i6 -ter to the governor of Massachusetts. To this Mr. Winthrop replied, in the same language, that he would neither main- tain the Lynn people in an unjust action, nor suffer them to be injured. On the reception of this reply, the Dutch govern- 'Or liberated the men, after they had signed an agreement to leave the place. They accordingly removed more than ■eighty miles, to the eastern part of the Island, where they purchased land of the Indians, and planted a town, which, in remembrance of the place from which they sailed in Eng- land, they called Southampton. " Thus we learn from history that Southampton was founded in 1640, and that Thomas Talmage^ and his son Thomas Talmage^, both of Lynn, Mass., were there the first year. We find Thomas Talmage-*^ among the list of freemen in Southampton as late as 1650, and in 1651 we find him an in- habitant of East Hampton, where he died in 1653. We find no will, and as only one child, Thomas-, is mentioned, he probably had none. The Town of East Hampton, L. I., was settled in 1649. One of the first purchasers being Thomas Talmage-, who was chosen first recorder of the town and served in that capacity at different periods during his life, and held that position at the time of his death in 1690. He was known as Captain Talmage, was also chosen Lieutenant, and confirm- ed by the Court of Election held February 5, 1660. (O. S.) Thomas Talmage2 died 1690, had wife, Elizabeth, and children.

"^^^^^^ APPGNDI)^. SOLDIERS WHO SERVED IN THE WARS OF OUR COUNTRY. The 29th of November, 1689, Lieut. Enos Talmage, (son of Robert Talmage of New Haven), of Captain Buell's Com- pany, marched with twenty-four men to Schenectady to keep that post as was agreed. The 9th of February, 1690, the alarm was brtjught to Albany that the French and Indi- ans had massacred the people of Schecnectady. The num- ber killed, sixty. Among these were Lieutenant Enos Tal- mage. Twenty-seven taken prisoners. — Documentarv His- tory of New York. Colonel Benjamin Talmage, a descendant of Robert Talmage of New Haven, was an able soldier, statesman and patriot, who has received the most honorable notice in the histories of his time, as a highly brave, active and enterpris- ing officer of the Rev^olution. He was the second son of the Rev. Benjamin Tallmage of Setauket, L. I., where he was born February 25, 1754. He lost his mother, daughter of the Rev. John Smith, of White Plains, Westchester County, at the age of fourteen years, but his father survived till the year 1786. He very early exhibited a fondness for learning, and under the tuition of his father, who was an excellent classical scholar, made sueh progress that at twelve years of age he was examined by President Dagget of Yale College, then on a visit to Brookhaven, and found well qualfied to 40 enter that institution. He, "however, did not enter till some years after, and graduated in 1773. Soon after he was in- vited to take charge of the high school at Weathersfield, which station he held with pleasure to himself and satisfac- tion to the public, until the bloody scenes of Lexington and Bunker Hill induced his entrance into the army. The leg- islature of Connecticut having resolved to raise its quota ot troops for the campaign of 1776, he accepted a commission of lieutenant, and soon after received the appointment of adjutant in the regiment of Colonel Chester. He joined his regiment in New York in June, from which time to the end of the war he was in constant and active service. He was engaged in the battle of Long Island on the 27th of August, 1776, and was one of the rear guard when the army retired to New York from their lines at Brooklyn. Before the regiment to which he belonged was discharged he received the appointment of Captain of the first troop in the Second Regiment of Dragoons. The commission is dated December 14, 1776. Tlie regiment was ordered to rendez- vous at Weathersfield, where the winter was occupied in pre- paring for the campaign of 1777. In the course of this year he received the commission of Major, and was honored with the confidence of the Commander-in-chief and principal officers of the army. He was in most of the general battles that took place with the main army in the northern states, at Long Island, White Plains, Brandywine, Monmouth, Ger- mantown and White Marsh. He opened, this year, a secret correspodence (for General Washington) with some persons in New York, and particularly with the late Abraham Wood- hull, of Setauket, which lasted through the war. He kept one or more boats constantly employed in crossing the sound on this business. On Lloyd's Neck, an elevated promontory between Hunt- ington and Oyster Bay, the enemy had established a strongly fortified post, with a garrison of about five hundred men. In the rear of this fort a band of marauders had encamped 41 themselves, who, having boats at command, were constantly plundering the inhabitants along the main shore, and rob- bing the small vessels in the sound. This horde of banditti Major Talmage had a great desire to break up, and on the 5th of September, 1777, embarked with one hundred and thirty men of his detachment, at Shippan Point, near Stam- ford, at eight o'clock in the evening. In about two hours they landed on Lloyd's Neck and proceeded to the attack, which was so sudden and unexpected that nearly the whole party was captured and landed in Connecticut before morn- ing. Not a man was lost in the enterprise. For the pur- pose of breaking up the whole system of intercourse between the enemy and the disaffected on the main, he was appoint- ed to a separate command, consisting of the dismounted dragoons of the regiment and a body of horse. While sta- tioned near North Castle, a prisoner was brought in calling himself John Anderson, and who turned out to be Major Andre, on his way to New York, after his interview, near West Point, with the infamous General Arnold. Of this prisoner, Major Tallmadge had the custody up to the day of his execution, and walked with him to the gallows at Tappan, October 2, 1780. In November of the same year he resumed his favorite scheme of annoying the enemy on Long Island, and having obtained the most accurate information of Fort St. (leorge, erected on a point projecting into the South Bay at Mastic, he com.municated his project to the Commander-in-chief, who, considering the attempt as too hazardous, desired him to abandon it. Having crossed the sound and examined the particular condition of the post, he was finally authorized to risk the enterprise, by the fol- lowing letter from Washington : Head QuAK rF.RS, Nov. 11, 1780. "Sir: — I have received your letter of the 7th instant. The destruction of the forage collected for the use of the British army at Corum upon Long Island, is of so much consequence, that I should advise the attempt to be made. 42 I have written to Col. Sheldon to furnish you a detachment i)f dismounted dragoons, and will commit the execution to you. If the party at Smith's house can be attempted with- out frustrating the other design, or running too great a haz- ard, I have no objection. But you must remember that thi.s is only a secondary object, and, in all cases, you will take the most prudent means to secure a retreat. Confiding en- tirely in your prudence as well as enterprise, and wishing you success, "I am yours, etc., " G. Washington." In pursuance of this communication Major Tallmadge or- dered the detachment to repair to Fairfield. Here being met by other troops, the party embarked, the 2ist of No- vember, 1780, at four o'clock p. m., in eight whale boats. The whole number, including the crews of the boats, amounted to eighty men. They crossed the sound in four hours, and landed at Old Man's at nine o'clock. Among this number were Captain Caleb Brewster, Heathcote Muirson, Benajah Strong and Thomas Jackson, all natives of Long Island. After leaving their boats, the body of troops had marched about five miles, when, it beginning to rain, they returned and took shelter under their boats, and lay con- cealed in the bushes all that night and the next day. At evening the rain abating, the troops were again put in mo- tion, and at three o'clock in the morning were within two miles of the fort. Here he divided his men into three par- . ties, ordering each to attack the fort at the same time at different points. The order was so well executed that the three divisions arrived nearly at the same moment. It was a triangular enclosure of several acres, strongly stockaded, well barricaded houses at two of the angles, and at the third a fort, with a deep dith and wall, encircled by an abattis of sharpened pickets, projecting at an angle of forty-five de- grees. The stockade was cut down, the column led through the grand parade, and in ten minutes' the main fort was car- ried by the l)ayonet. The vessels near the fort, laden with 43 stores, attempted to escape, but the guns of the fort being brought to bear upon them, they were secured and burnt, as were the works and stores. The number of prisoners was fifty-four, of whom seven were wounded. While they were marched to the boats under an escort, Major Tallmadge proceeded witli the remainder of his detachment, destroyed about three hundred tons of hay collected at Corum, and returned to the place of debarkation just as the party with the prisoners had arrived, and reached Fairfield by eleven o'clock the same evening; having accomplished the enter- prise, including a march of forty miles by land and as much by water, without the loss of a man. Congress passed a resolve complimentary to the commander and troops engag- ed in this expedition, which was said by them to have been planned and conducted with wisdom and great gallantry by Major Tallmadge, and executed with intrepidity and com- plete success by the officers and soldiers of his detachment. The following was addressed to him by the Commander-in- chief: MORRISTOWN, Nov. 28, 1788. " De.ar Sir: — I have received with much pleasure the re- port of your successful enterprise upon Fort George, and the vessels with stores in the bay, and was particularly well pleased with the destruction of the hay at Corum, which must, I conceive, be severel}^ felt by the enemy at this time. I beg you to accept my thanks for your judicious planning and spirited execution of this business, and that you will offer them to the officers and men who shared the enterprise with you. The gallant behavior of Mr. Muirson gives him a fair claim to an appointment in the Second Regiment of Dragoons, when there is a vacancy. And I have no doubt of his meet- ing with it accordingly, if you will make known his naerit, with these sentiments in his favor. You have my free con- sent to reward your gallant party with the little booty they were able to bring from the enemy's works. " Yours, etc., " G. Washington." 44 During tliat part of the campaign of 1781 in which the main army was in Virginia, Major Tallmadge was left with the forces under General Heath, in the highlands on the Hudson; still, however, holding a seperate command, he moved wherever duty or a spirit of enterprise dictated. In continuation of his former design of annoying the enemy upon Long Island, he marched his detachment to Norwalk; and as Fort Slongo, at Tredwell's Bank, near Smithtown, was possessed by a British force, he determined to destroy it. On the night of the 9th of October, 1781, he embarked a part of his troops under the command of Major Prescott, with orders to assail the fort at a particular point. At the dawn of day the attack was made, the fortress subdued, the block-house and other combustible materials burnt, and the detachment returned in safety with their prisoners and a handsome piece of brass artillery. On the nth of April pre- ceding. Major Tallmadge had written to General Washing- ton, wherein he says: "At Lloyd's Neck, it is supposed are assembled about eight hundred men, chiefly refugees or de- serters from our army. Of this number there may be about four hundred and fifty or five hundred properly armed. Their naval squadron consists of one vessel of sixteen guns, two small privateers, and a galley. About eight miles east of Lloyd's Neck, they have a post at Tredwell's Bank, of about one hundred and forty men, chiefly wood-cutters, armed. I have seen an accurate draft of this post and works." He believed that if two frigates should enter the Sound in the absence of the British fleet, and at the same time a suitable body of troops were embarked in boats, the posts might be cut off; and he offered to aid or direct an en- terprise for such an object. To this proposition the com- mander-in-chief replied as follows: Nkw Windsor. Apr. 8, 1781. "Sir: — The success of the supposed enterprise must de- pend on the absence of the British fleet, the secrecy of the attempt, and a knowledge of the exact situation oi the ene- 45 my. It", after you liave been to the westward, the circum- stances from your intelligence shall still appear favorable, you will be at liberty to be the bearer of a letter to the Count de Rochambeau, to whose determination I have re- fered the matter. Yours, etc., "G. Washing! ON." Nothing more is heard of this matter till the July following, when Count de Barras, having no employment for his squadron at Newport, detached for this service three frigates, with two hundred and fifty land troops, the whole under the command of the Baron d'Angely. The detachment sailed on the loth of July, and was joined in the Sound by several boats, with a few volunteers and pilots from Fairfield. But it was soon evident that the fort on Lloyd's Neck was much stronger than had been supposed, and not to be carried without the help of cannon, which had not been provided. The party', after a few shots from the fort, reembarked, having two or three killed and wounded. Among those mortally wounded was Heathcote Muirson, the individual so favorably men- tioned by General Washington in his letter to Major Tall- madge inserted above. He was a son of Dr. Muirson of Se- tauket, and had graduated at Yale College in 1776. His death, as may well be supposed, was a source of grief to all who were acquainted with his many amiable qualities. After the affair of P'ort Slongo, Malor Tallmadge returned to the neighb<)rhood of White Plains, where he found full employment, in guarding tlie inhabitants against the refugee corps under Col. De Lancey and the cow-boys and skinners who infested the lines. In the course of the ensuing win- ter he took his station on the Sound, and arranged another plan to beat up the enemy's quarters on Long Island ; but a violent storm prevented its being carried into effect; he suc- ceeded, however, in capturing many of the enemy's vessels engaged in illicit trade between the opposite shores, and sev- eral cargoes of valuable goods were taken and condemned. Tlie secret correspondence conducted by Major Tallmadge, 46 during several years, within the British lines, has been be- fore alluded to. And when the American army was about to enter the city of New York after the peace, he entered be- fore it was evacuated by the British, that he might afford protection to those who were the secret friends of their country, and who otherwise would have been exposed to ill- treatment, as refugees or tories. He retired from the army with the rank of colonel. He was for several years treasur- er, and afterwards president, of the Cincinnati society. In 1800, Col. Tallmadge was chosen a representative in Congress from Connecticut, having been for many years pre- vious, engaged in merchantile business in Litchfield. He was in Congress during eight successive elections, a firm and judicious member of that body, and watchful of the political interests of a country whose independence he had so nobly contributed to achieve. After sixteen years of service in the national legislature, he declined a re-election, and retired with dignity and honor to the shades of private life. He was, however, by no means an indifferent specta- tor of passing events, but felt truly anxious for the future glory and welfare of his country. To public objects of char- ity and benevolence, it has been observed he always gave largely and freely. On the 16th of March, 1784, he married Mary, eldest daughter of General William Floyd of Long Island, a lady of great amiability and worth, by whom he had issue, Will- iam Smith, who died unmarried, Henry Floyd, Maria Jones, Frederick Augustus, Benjamin; Harriet Wardsworth, and George Washington; of whom, Henry F. married Maria Canfield, daughter of the Hon. Andrew Adams of Litchfield, Conn., Maria J. married the Hon. John P. Cushman of Troy, N. Y., one of the circuit judges of this state; Frederick A. married Eliza, daughter of the Hon. Judson Canfield of Sharon, Conn. ; Benjamin was an officer in the U. S. navy, and died at Gibraltar unmarried; Harriet W. married John Delafield, Esq., of New York; and George W. married Pa- NATHANIKI, M. lALMAtlK*^. 49 cera M., daughter of the Hon. Calvin Pease of Warren, Ohio. Col. Tallmadge lost his wife June 3, 1805, and on the 3rd of Ma}', 1808, he married Maria, daughter of Joseph Hallet, Esq.. of New York. He died at Litchfield, March 7, 1835, and his widow died in 1841. — Benjamin F. Thompson's History of Long Island. Joseph'', son of Daniel-'', of Bridge-Hampton, was in the War of the Revolution. Henry'', son of David''', was in the War of the Revolution. (See Genealogy page 28.) Baldwin C.', son of Davidr,, served in the war of 1812. Nathaniel M.*^ son of David', was a volunteer in the Civil War. He enlisted Oct. 9th, 1861 and served throughout the war, being discharged July 19th, 1865. His name was en- tered on the rolls as Nathaniel Talmage. The principal bat- tles he fought in were Winchester under General Banks also Winchester, Fishers Hill and Cedar Creek under General Sheridan, Gettysburg under General Meade, beside many lesser battles and skirmishes. His division, the 3rd Cavalry Division, Army of the Potomac, was commanded a long time by General Kilpatrick, after him General Wilson, and toward the end of the war by General G. A. Custer. He was in about sixty battles and skirmishes and near the close of war was given a 2nd Lieutenant's commission. Joseph*', Henry^, Baldwin C^, Nathaniel M.''^, all- above- mentioned, were descendants of Thomas Talmage, one of the first settlers of East Hampton. Clovis Talmage served in the Spanish-American war of 1898. There have been seven, and perhaps more, ministers of the Gospel of the Thomas Talmage branch during the last century. 5° There were four Elders of the First Presbyterian Church of East Hampton in three successive generations of the Thomas Talmage branch, viz., David'', son of Nathaniel^, born 1740, died 1814; David^', sonofDavid^, born 1765, died 1822; Baldwin C.'^, son of David*^, born 1792, died i^s'q; Sine- us C.
