So shall it be with my father: he shall be called a prince over his posterity, holding the keys of the patriarchal priesthood over the kingdom of God on earth, even the Church of the Latter Day Saints, and he shall sit in the general assembly of patriarchs, even in council with the Ancient of Days when he shall sit and all the patriarchs with him and shall enjoy his right and authority under the direction of the Ancient of Days. |

Talmage Crest.png
-
Notes - This name was anciently written Tollmache and Tollemache, and the coat-of-arms used by the family is ascribed to Thomas Talmage, of Long Island.[1] The crest may, be seen in Crests of Great Britain (vol. 2, plate 19, crest 13).
I. Thomas TALMAGE was from County Southampton, England[2], and had brothers William and John. William came in Winthrop's fleet, in 1630, and settled in Boston, where he was made freeman in 1643, later becoming an inhabitant at Lynn, same State. John was a husbandman living in Newton Stacey, County Southampton, England, who died, apparently without issue, leaving his estate to his nephews. Thomas Talmage came to New England, according to some authorities, in 1631 in the ship Plough, which carried ten passengers.[3] Another has it that he, too, came with Governor Winthrop in 1630.
He landed first at Charlestown, settling later at Lynn, where he is mentioned as farmer as early at 1630.[4] Was admitted freeman 14 May 1634--at Boston, apparently.[5] In 1638, he was possessed of two hundred acres, of land at Lynn, his son Thomas owning twenty.[6] In the Proprietors' Book for that year, his name is recorded. Many of the original settlers of Lynn went to Southampton, Long Island[7], which was founded in 1640. There we find that Thomas Talmage acquired land in October 1642[8], and was listed among its inhabitants as late as 10 March 1649[9], being made freeman there two days previously. His house-lot was granted him in 1642, and in 1651 land at Runney Marsh became his.[10] We do not find him on record there later.
It is thought that he left about 1650, for East Hampton, of which place his son Thomas had become a founder. For absence from town meeting at East Hampton, he was fined 24 May 1651.[11] He probably died in 1653, for on 9 December 1653, the town records show that it was ordered that the share of whale in controversary between Widowe Talmage shall be divided even as the lott is, and in February next, Thomas Talmage, no Sen. or Jr. signed to the name, was given five acres of land.
Also there is a record of a Thomas Talmage, sr., deceased, and a Thomas mentioned on the same page As living, though no junior is attached to the name.[12] We have found record of the name of his wife. In the early records the family name was variously spelled, and among the many descendants scattered throughout the United States today, it appears as Talmage, Tallmage, Talmadge, Tallmadge, etc. Numbered among the descendants of Thomas Talmage are many illustrious soldiers and statesmen of our country, as well as a host of respectable, law biding, and prosperous citizens whose names have not been enrolled on the scrolls of fame.

Robert TALMAGE
II. Robert TALMAGE, came from England, when a young man.-- His uncle, John Talmage, of Newton Stacey, Hants, England, left legacies to him and his brothers and brothers-in-law, and on 3 September 1640, at Boston, Massachusetts, they all signed a letter granting power of attorney to Ralph King, of Watford, authorizing him to get their portions from the overseers. It is claimed Robert Talmage was one of the original purchasers of the New Haven settlement in 1639, and was made freeman there, 1 July 1644. However, he is recorded also as being in Southampton, Long Island, 7 March 1644.
He married Sarah, daughter of Thomas and Margery (Baker) NASH, original settlers at New Haven. She was born in England, and was living on 30 June 1687 when her brother, Major John Nash, made his -will and left her a legacy as the "Widow Talmage."[14]
Robert Talmage died in 1662, the invoice of his estate being taken on 3 October that year.[15] It was estimated at £131, 14s. In the list of proprietors of New Haven in 1685, appears: "Robert Talmage's heirs."[16]
Robert and Sarah Talmage were the ancestors of many prominent men of the name. Third in descent was Captain James Talmadge, of the Connecticut family, and in the fourth generation was Reverend Benjamin Talmage, of Brookhaven, Long Island.[17] Descended from them, also, was Colonel Benjamin Talmadge, officer on the staff of General Washington during the greater part of the Revolutionary War. He was considered to be one of the handsomest men in the Revolutionary Army; was born in Brooklyn, 1754; graduated 1773, receiving the degree of A. M. from Yale College in 1778. He was in charge of separate detachments for special service in the War, receiving his orders directly from the great Commander-in-Chief, himself.
Major Andre, the British spy, was delivered to Major Tallmadge, and remained in his custody until the day of his execution, 2 October 1780. He accompanied the unfortunate prisoner to the gallows, and witnessed the execution. Years afterwards he wrote: I became so deeply attached to Major Andre that I can remember no instance when my affections were so fully absorbed in any man. When I saw him swinging under the gallows, it seemed for a time as if I could not support it. Major Talmage was an original member of the Cincinnati Society. His son, Frederick Augustus Talmage, was Congressman in 1847, 1849.[18]
