Robert Talmadge. "He was born in England and came to America as a young
man. In 1738 his uncle, John Talmadge, of Newton Stacey, Hants, England,
drew his will leaving Robert a legacy. On September 3, 1640, at Boston,
Robert, with his brothers and brother-in-law signed a letter of attorney to
Ralph King, of Watford, to get the money for them from the Overseers.
On
March 7, 1644, Robert was at Southampton, Long Island, living in the second ward
where Thomas, Jr., also lived; Thomas, Sr., living in the first ward.
Robert
next appears at New Haven, where Robert Tallmadge took the freeman's oath, July
1, 1644. In 1649 he was a married man. It is supposed that he
married in 1648, though no record of his has been found. His wife was
Sarah Nash, who was born in England and was probably the third child of Thomas
Nash and Margery Baker. She was living in 1687 when Major John Nash left
her, "the widow Talmage," a legacy.
It is said that Robert Talmage was among
the original purchasers of New Haven Colony in 1639, and that his brother or
father Thomas, was also located there for a while at least. In 1662 the
administrators filed an inventory of the estate of Robert Talmage."
The invoice of his estate was taken on Oct 3, 1662. It was estimated at £131.14
"Widdow Tallmadg" was granted 66 acres in the third division of land in New Haven in Dec 1680. She was living on 30 Jun 1687 when her brother Major John Nash made his will and left her a legacy naming her as "Widow Talmage."
