Ancestry and Descent of Edwin C. Tallcott “Talcott Pedigree in England and America,” S. V. Talcott (Compiler), Published by: Weed, Parsons and Company, Albany, NY 1876 http://ronaldtalcott.com/Talcott%20Family/b1505.htm#P1517 http://ronaldtalcott.com/Talcott%20Family/b14.htm#P34 2. John TALCOTT was born about 1558 in Colchester, Essex County, England. He died in 1604 in Braintree, Essex County, England. John, son of John Talcot and ----- Wells, was born (probably) in Colchester previous to 1558; married Anne, daughter of William Skinner. John Talcott died in Braintree about fourteen miles from Colchester (where he resided) the early part of the year 1604. His widow, soon after his death, married "Moyses Wall," of Braintree, who died, fall of 1623, leaving her again a widow. All the children were minors at his death, but as the Braintree records, previous to 1660 are deficient, the date of their baptism cannot be ascertained. John TALCOTT and Anne SKINNER were married in Braintree, Essex County, England. Anne SKINNER (daughter of William SKINNER) was born in Branford, Suffolk County, England. She died in Braintree, Essex County, England. John TALCOTT and Anne SKINNER had the following children: i. The Worshipful John TALCOTT. ii. Rachel TALCOTT born in Braintree, Essex County, England; died in Braintree, Essex County, England. Unmarried in 1623. iii. Anne TALCOTT born in Braintree, Essex County, England. Married. iv. Mary TALCOTT. v. Grace TALCOTT born in Braintree, Essex County, England. Unmarried in 1623. vi. Sarah TALCOTT born in Braintree, Essex County, England. Unmarried in 1623 -------- 11. The Worshipful John TALCOTT emigrated on 22 Jun 1632 from England. He died in Mar 1660 in Hartford, CT. He was born in Braintree, Essex, England. John, son of John Talcott and Anne Skinner, his wife, was born in Braintree, Essex, England, married Dorothy, the daughter of (probably) Mark Mott, Esq., and Frances Gutter, of Braintree, Essex, England. John Talcott was left a minor by the death of his father in 1604, and was an only son. The 1st wife of Baggot Eggelston, who came first from Dorchester in 1630, and thence to Windsor, was a Mary Talcott, whom he married in England before he came to America. No other family of the name ever emigrated to this country, and all of the Talcotts here are descendants of the above named John, who settled in Hartford, Ct. He first came to Boston, Mass., with others of the Rev. Mr. Hooker's Company in the ship Lion, which sailed from England 22 Jun 1632, and arrived there Sunday, 16 Sep 1632. The ship Lion was Commanded by Capt. Mason, and had 123 passengers (among whom were 50 children) and they all arrived in good health after a passage of twelve weeks from England. This company first settled in Newtowne, now Cambridge, near Boston. John Talcott was admitted a freeman by the General Court at Boston, 6 Nov 1632; was one of the Representatives in the General Court together with Mr. Goodwin and Mr. [William] Spencer* [9th Gr. Uncle of the present compiler), for Newtowne, 14 May 1634. At a general meeting of the whole town of Newtowne, held 4 Feb 1634, he, and Haynes, Bradstreet, and four others, were chosen Select men of Newtown to do the whole business of the town. He was the fifth greatest proprietor of houses and lands in the town, out of eighty enumerated in the registry of 1634, "of those only who were considered townsmen." * Note: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~george/b83.htm#P533 William Spencer, one of the ‘Four Spencer Brothers,’ was Deputy to the Massachusetts General Court, 1634 thru 1637, and representative to CT General Court, 1639-1640; son of Gerard and Alice Whitbred Spencer. . . . A copy of will & testament of William Spencer, late of Hartford, dec. presented in Court vpon oath of John TALYCOTT (John Talcott Jr., 1598-1660) and John Pratt (Sr.1620-55), of said town. . . . Also my mind is, my Cosen Matthew ALLYN (1606-1675), my brother John PRATT and John TAYLCOATE, that these three partyes or any two of them shall have the Oversight of my Estate . . . John owned four houses in the "West End," and maintained and kept in repair, thirty-six rods of public fence. These are his houses and lands as recorded in the "Newtowne Register book, 5 Oct 1635." In the "West End" his dwellings, out-houses, etc., with 3 1/2 acres of land. In the "Old-fields," 3 3/4 acres of land in one piece, and 2 acres in another. In "The Neck," 32 acres of land in one piece, and 45 in another. In the "Ox Marsh," 2 1/2 acres. In the "Large Marsh," 7 1/2 acres. In the "Great Marsh," 27 1/2 acres in one piece, and 50 acres in another. And in the "Windmill Marsh," 5 acres. The Rev. Mr. Hooker joined his people in Newtowne, and they, becoming dissatisfied with their location, after repeated efforts and much difficulty, obtained permission from the General Court to remove to the Connecticut River. John Talcott thereupon sold all his possessions in Newtowne to Nicholas Danforth, 1 May 1636, and with about one hundred others left Newtowne in June of that year (having first sent a carpenter Nicholas Clark, over the previous year to build him a house, which stood on the ground where the North Church [late Dr. Bushnell's] now stands, and was the first house built in Hartford), led by the Rev. Hooker, and went on foot, through the wilderness, to the Connecticut River, where they founded the present city of Hartford; here he took an active part in the affairs of the town, was a member of the General Court for many years, and was styled "The Worshipful Mr. John Talcott;" he was one of the committee appointed 1 May 1637, to take into consideration the propriety of a war with the Pequot Indians, and upon whose recommendation a war was accordingly declared. He was one of the Chief Magistrates of the Colony until his death, which occurred at his Mansion at the head of Main Street, in Hartford, in March 1660. He left by his will his property to his wife and two sons (his daughter having previously died), and grandchildren. He was buried in Hartford, CT, and his name is inscribed upon the monument erected by the citizens of that place to perpetuate the memory of the founders of the Colony of Connecticut. Referring to the death of John Talcott, the Rev. John Davenport, of New Haven, writes to Governor John Winthrop, Jr., under date of 29 Mar 29, 1660, "I am sorry for your loss of Mr. Talcott, whose decease I heard of, but not how his diseases were found incurable, 'till I received your letter of the 27th, whereby it is most to me that no art of man could cure him." Note,----"17 May 1660, Mr. Bray Rossester, for and in consideration of his pains in coming to and attending Mr. Talcott in his sickness, was allowed 5(lbs.), and paid out of the Treasury." The Worshipful John TALCOTT and Dorothy MOTT were married in Braintree, Essex County, England. Dorothy MOTT (daughter of Mark MOTT Esq. and Frances GUTTER) died in Feb 1669/70 in Hartford, CT. She was born in Braintree, Essex, England. Dorothy Mott, widow of the worshipful Mr. John Talcott, died in Hartford, CT, February 1670. She is supposed to have been the daughter of Mark, son of Thomas and Alice (Mead) Mott, of Braintree, Essex, England, who was born 25 Apr 1549, married Frances Gutter. Mark Mott was the ultimate heir of his father Thomas, who was the owner of Sheme Hall, Lexenden hundreds, and other real estate in 1599. Frances, wife of Mark Mott, died in Braintree, and was buried 23 Feb 1615. Mark Mott died in Braintree, and was buried 14 Dec 1637. Dorothy Mott, widow of the Worshipful John Talcott, made her will in Hartford, CT, 22 Sep 1669. As there is no mention made in either the will of John Talcott, or that of his wife, of property possessed by them in England, it is presumed that they disposed of it all before they came to this country, with the exception of the house they lived in Braintree, which was sold by Mr. Mott, brother of Dorothy, in the year 1644, by order of her husband. The Worshipful John TALCOTT and Dorothy MOTT had the following children: i. Mary TALCOTT. ii. Lieutenant Colonel John TALCOTT.

May 1, at Ithaca, to serve two years; mustered in as sergeant, Co. A, May 31, 1861; promoted commissary sergeant, July 1, 1861; mustered in as first lieutenant, Co. A, June 23, 1862; resigned, March 14, 1863, to accept commission as commissary of subsistence of volunteers; commissioned first lieutenant, March 10, 1862, with rank from February 15, 1862, vice W. O. Wyckoff, promoted. Landmarks of Tompkins County, New York, by John H. Selkreg, 1894; D. Mason & Co., Publisher http://nytompki.org/Landmarks/tfam24.htm TARBELL, Thomas B., was bon in Delaware county, N.Y., March 21, 1800, his parents coming from Southern Vermont and the parent stock back four generations from Saxony. Lydia MILLER was born in East Lansing, March 12, 1804, her father, Joseph MILLER, coming from New Jersey. He owned a very large tract of land running north and south from the road leaning west from the Baptist church and was the owner of slaves until about 1790. A descendant of his last one freed is now (1894) living in Ithaca. Thomas B. TARBELL and Lydia MILLER were married October 15, 1823, at East Lansing. The issue of that marriage was thirteen children, ten boys and three girls. Doctor Tarbell The seventh (eighth?), born May 16, 1838, in the west part of Groton, NY, was called Doctor TARBELL. Young Doctor like all the rest of the children, was brought up on a farm, going to school winters and working on the farm at home or for neighbors in the summer. In 1857 he started out for additional educational advantages and attended the fall term in Homer Academy, hiring a room and boarding himself, his whole expense for this term, room, books, provisions, etc., being $18.75. He taught the winter term (1857-58) in the first district north of Peruville and the following fall attended again at Homer, and returned and taught in his own, known as the Benson district, teaching and attending school alternately until 1861, when he was in school at Ithaca, expecting to enter Union College in September in the class of 1865. But when Fort Sumter was fired upon in April, 1861, he volunteered as a private in Company A, Second Regiment, the first military organization to leave Tompkins county. Early in May he was made sergeant; in November, 1861, second lieutenant, in February, 1862, first lieutenant, and as such volunteered to lead a forlorn hope of one hundred men across the Chickahominy River in front of Richmond on June 2, 1862, to drive the enemy's sharpshooters back so that General WOODBURY's engineers could work on a new bridge which was needed by McCLELLAN's army north of Richmond. The day was successful, Lieutenant TARBELL, with a squad of his men, escorted WOODBURY during the day back nearly one-half mile in the enemy's country. There was where he won his captaincy from President LINCOLN in United States Volunteers, which was given him in October, 1862. At Malvern Hill, July 4, he was called by General NEWTON to serve on his staff. He had been with his company at Bull Run, July, 1861, and in all its skirmishes and battles through the Peninsular campaign. From now on he served as a staff officer with General NEWTON at South Mountain, Crampton's Pass, Maryland, and Antietam, till November, then with General David A. RUSSELL, Third Brigade, First Division, Sixth Corps, till March, 1863, when by order he was sent to General WHIPPLE's division, Third Corps, and was with him at Chancellorsville, May, 1863, where General WHIPPLE's division was so terribly slaughtered, General WHIPPLE being mortally wounded. Captain TARBELL was the only member of the staff not wounded or killed. The remnant of General WHIPPLE's division being divided among the other two divisions of the Third Corps, Captain TARBELL was sent to Third Corps headquarters early in June. He served with General SICKLES in the Maryland land and Pennsylvania campaigns and rode with him on the Gettysburg battle ground July 1, 1863. The story of the part the Third Corps took in that memorable engagement a bright page in history and is too known to need a word here. Captain TARBELL served with the Third Corps till it was disbanded. He was then assigned to the Cavalry Corps, serving with Generals CHAPMAN, WELLS, and WILSON through all the campaigns in the summer of 1864. He was captured by MOSBY September 21, 1864, near Winchester, Va., and sent to Libby Prison, from there October 10, to Salisbury, N. C., October 15, transferred to Danville Prison, February 18. retransferred to Libby, where he suffered, as only Union prisoners know all the torments of cold, filth, hunger and disease. When parolled (sic) February 22, 1865, he telegraphed his confidential clerk, Professor S. B. HOWE, "Out of prison. Purgatory has no terrors." On arriving at Annapolis, Captain TARBELL was granted a thirty day leave of absence. Although he was captured September 21, his friends in the North had no tidings from him till in January, 1865, and for a long time mourned him as dead. Captain TARBELL married Mary L. CONANT, March 14, 1865 at Peruville while enjoying his thirty day leave of absence. He was officially declared exchanged March 28, and ordered to report to General Sheridan for duty, on expiration of leave of absence. On his way to the army he stropped a few days in Washington and was present in Ford's Theater on the night of the assassination of President LINCOLN, April 14, 1865. He received a commission as major by brevet in United States Volunteers, for meritorious services. He left the United States service in August, 1865. After Cornell University opened in 1868, he attended five terms; was elected county clerk of Tompkins county in 1870, and re-elected 1873. He is now engaged in the life insurance business, representing the Equitable Life Assurance Society as general agent and has a very large range of duties. He is a total abstainer, using neither tobacco or liquor. In religion he was raised a Baptist, in politics a Republican, a scholar of Greeley's New York Tribune. His home is now with his family at No. 10 North Geneva Street, Ithaca. Doctor Tarbell married Mary Lucy Conant on 14 Mar 1865 in Peruville, Tompkins Co., NY. Mary was born in 1838; died in 1899. Children: i. George Schuyler Tarbell born in 1868. He died in 1935. ii. Bertha Mary T. Tarbell born in 1873. iii. Clarence D. Tarbell born in 1878. http://www.clements.umich.edu/Webguides/T/Tarbell.html William L. Clements Library - The University of Michigan Tarbell, Doctor, b. 1838 Papers The Tarbell Papers contain the correspondence of the straight-laced Doctor Tarbell of Groton, NY. It covers a period from his war time service in the Union Army to his post war career. The Civil War letters form a remarkably dense series that highlights the intimate relationship of Tarbell and his fiancée. This collection is very unusual in that both sides of the correspondence are present. Doctor Tarbell enlisted in the 32nd New York Infantry on February 15, 1862 and served as a commissary in the Army of the Potomac until his discharge on July 27, 1865. He entered as a first Lieutenant, was promoted to Captain (1862.11.26) and Brevet Major (1865.07.27). Both Tarbell and his fiancée, Mary Conant, write in an unusually literary style, and they seem to have had a very affectionate relationship. At the beginning of this series, between January and February, 1864, both Tarbell and Conant write almost exclusively of their relationship, however as the Army of the Potomac moves southward, both writers' letters begin to focus more on the progress of the war, and both writers assume a more fervently committed Patriotic tone. Mary's letters are enlivened by occasional political asides ('Does the Army weary of Gen. Meade, or is it politicians & aspirants that wish to oust him?' 1864.03.13), patriotic bellicosities, references to life at home during war-time, and she includes a few extended lyrical passages. Her pro-Union sentiments come across, at times as almost fanatical, but her letters are enjoyable and chocked with vivid vignettes. In his returns to Mary, Tarbell finds space to refer to military matters, his work as a commissary and army morale. At times his patriotism and pride in his commission shine through (as during the inspection by Gen. Grant, 1864.04.18). In a few letters, Tarbell allows himself to expand at greater length on the drive to Richmond, with details of his movements, what he knows of the progress of the war, the actions of the 6th Cavalry Corps, and his encounters with Southern civilians. Tarbell was captured by Confederate cavalry near Winchester, Va., shortly after September 6, 1864, and sent first to Libby Prison, to Salisbury, N.C., and finally to Danville, Va., where he remained until he was 'paroled' before May 1, 1865. Somewhat mysteriously he married Mary on March 14, 1865, during the period of his imprisonment. After the war, Tarbell appears to have enrolled at Cornell. Other letters in the collection include a few written to Tarbell by his parents and several to Mary Conant from relatives. Letters written to Mary during Tarbell's imprisonment are filled with sympathy and encouragement; others more commonly concern family news. One of the more interesting of these is a letter from Mary's niece, Hattie Carpenter (apparently a child), from Iowa describing the return of soldiers; and a Nov. 18, 1866 letter from Mary A.E. Wages to Miss Hardy requesting funds to establish a freedman's 'high school' in Richmond. 'The black people of Richmond are the only loyal people in the whole city...They not only need help, but are worthy objects of it.' The series of 13 letters from 1881 suggests that the Tarbell's were in some unspecified financial difficulty, and that he had been employed as a typewriter agent.

Lyman Tiffany, second son and child of Francis Alfonzo and Mary Lydia (Fox) Tiffany, was born May 21, 1838. He first entered business life as a member of his father's firm, and then on his own account in the firm of Doming & Tiffany. He removed to Washington in 1880, where he has an elegant home and a large collection of curios and works of art. He has been an officer in the militia, and at the outbreak of the Civil war was a member of the Seventh Regiment and marched to the protection of the national capitol. He served the full time of three enlistments, and on retirement was elected captain of Company G. Seventh Regiment. His father, Francis Alfonzo Tiffany, second child of Lyman and Sabra (Jenks) Tiffany, was born at Pawtucket, Rhode Island, December 24, 1809, died at Saratoga Springs, New York, June 20, 1873. He married, in New York, June 6, 1836, Mary Lydia, daughter of William W. Fox and his wife, Charlotte Leggett. Mr. Tiffany was educated at the Boston Latin School, and had a special fondness for languages and literature. He went to New York in 1835 and entered mercantile life under the firm name of Hutchinson & Tiffany (Woollen and Cotton Goods Commission Merchants), at No. 50 Exchange Place. The firm failed during the panic of 1857, and his business career was continued in Wall street. He was highly esteemed by his associates and was possessed of a well cultivated mind and polished manners. His children were: 1. George Fox, born April 5, 1837, died at West Farms, Westchester county, February 12, 1868.

It served most of this time at Baltimore, Md., and was mustered out of the United States service, September 5, 1862, at New York city. June 16, 1863, it again re-entered the United States service, and was mustered in at New York city, for thirty days.

In its service, in 1861, it lost one enlisted man, accidentally killed, and it took part in: The advance into Virginia, May 24, 1861, and the New York city riot July 16, 1863. Tiffany, W. O., x, Groton, 496 Tilden, Oliver P., (Capt.) 38th NY Inf Vols, Lily, 342 http://members.aol.com/OTilden26/history.html The Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War was established in 1881 as the successor to the Grand Army of the Republic, the Union Army Veterans' organization. It was chartered in 1954 by Act of Congress. The Oliver Tilden Camp was created in 1884 and is now one of two Camps in the downstate area of New York State. The Camp was named for Captain Oliver Tilden who lived in Morrisiania, an area of the Bronx. When the Civil War came, Tilden formed Co. E, 38th Volunteer New York Infantry. He was killed at Chantilly (Ox Hill), Virginia on 1 Sep 1862. Tilden is buried at Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx. The 38th NY Infantry, shown in the above map, was right in the path of General Kearney’s charge (view at 270% enlargement). Gen. Kearney was killed in the same engagement, just to the right of their position. Union casualties and losses at this battle were about 2,100 soldiers; Confederates, 800. 
General Kearney’s Gallant Charge http://www.nycgovparks.org/sub_your_park/historical_signs/hs_historical_sign.php?id=11584 CAPTAIN OLIVER TRIANGLE - 1.19 acres This triangle, located at the junction of East 161st Street, Third Avenue, and St. Anne’s Avenue in the Bronx neighborhood of Morrisania, honors the memory of Captain Oliver Tilden (1828-1862), the first Morrisanian soldier to give his life for the Union cause during the Civil War. Oliver Tilden was born and raised in Morrisania, and opened a small carpentry shop on 162nd Street and Eagle Avenue. At the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861, Tilden enlisted in the Union Army and helped organize Company A of the 38th Volunteer New York Infantry Regiment. The 38th Regiment consisted of five infantry companies from New York City and five companies from Westchester. As the New York Regiment joined with the Army of the Potomac, Tilden was appointed Captain of Company E. During the war, Tilden fought in several bloody engagements, including the Battle of Manassas and the Seven Days Battle. After a grueling year and a half of fighting, Tilden was killed in a combat near Chantilly, Virginia on 1 Sep 1862. When his body was returned to Morrisania, Tilden was buried in the Bensonia Cemetery on St. Anne’s Avenue. In 1878 his remains were transferred to Woodlawn Cemetery, making Tilden the first Civil War soldier to be buried there. With the demise of the Confederacy in 1865, surviving Union veterans formed the Grand Army of the Republic. Bronx veterans of the Morrisanian Post, No. 96 renamed their post in memory of Tilden. In 1883, the Sons of Veterans of the Civil War supplanted the Grand Army of the Republic as the sponsor for the post, but the new local chapter continued to honor the Civil War captain, renaming Oliver Tilden Camp. In 1948 the City of New York purchased this property and transferred control of it to the Bronx Borough President. In 1961 the City gave Parks responsibility for the maintenance of this property. On 5 Dec 1974, due in large part to the suggestion of Bronx County Historical Society Member Berthold Sack, a grandson of two Civil War veterans, the Morrisania property was renamed to honor Tilden. In the spring of 1998, Parks planted young apple trees (Roseceae malus) in the triangle’s woodchip area.
