Notes
Birth
Captain Thomas Talmage, Jr. came to America with his father when a boy. In 1649 Thomas, Jr., left Southampton with 7 other men and founded the town of Easthampton where he lived the rest of his life. Thomas, Jr. was elected the first recorder or secretary, which position he held many years. Judging from his handwriting and orthography, he must have had a good education for that period. Judge Hedges writes that the records show that at his death in 1691 Captain Thomas Talmage was the richest man in Easthampton.Thomas may have been born in 1617. Sources #1204 and #6712.011
