Biography

U.S. Southern Colonies Project logo
Richard Talbott I was a Maryland colonist.
Richard was a Friend (Quaker)

Some researchers believe this English birth record refers to the Richard Talbott who emigrated to Maryland:

October 18, 1629 -- Richard Talbott was baptized at Gnosall, Staffordshire, England. [1]No source has been found in Maryland directly linking him to a birthplace in England.

Arrival

According to a patent record in the collection of the Maryland Archives, Richard Talbott was in Maryland by 1659, when he was granted 260 acres. This is the date Richard patented the land, which he purchased in 1656.

"Richard Talbott, planter, 10 Dec., 1656, bought Poplar Knowle, a plantation on West river, Anne Arundel co., Maryland, and thenceforth made it his home."
"I Christopher Rolls of the County of Providence do Assign All my right and title of this bill of sale within mentioned unto Richd Talbott of the abovesaid County In Witness whereof hereunto I sett my hand this Tenth of December 1656." Recorded 11 Dec 1656 by Robert Burk, Clerk.[2]

According to Anne Arundel County Rent Rolls, Richard also took up nearly 400 additional acres of land on both sides of the West river:

300 Acres, Yearly Rent 0.2.10¼.: "Talbotts Ridge, sur 30 Nov. 1662 for Rd. Talbot on ye North side of West RIver at the upper bound Tree of Jame Bonner. This Land resur by ye sd. Talbot 1. Oct. 1664. & then found to contain but 144a the wch—was patented in the name of Edward & John Talbott. Possrs. 72a Sam Thomas 72a Wm. Richardson."
82 Acres, Yearly Rent 0.1.8.: "Talbott's Timber Neck sur 21 Mar 1662 for Rd. Talbott—on the South Side of West River on ye South Creek. Possrs. Cap. Robert Lockwood."[3]

Richard died by 1663 leaving orphans Edward & John & relict & executrix Elizabeth, who, by 1677, married William Richardson.[4] Another patent record mentions land he was given by assignment from his father-in-law, Major Richard Ewen and that Talbott was deceased by 1674[5] In this time period, the term father-in-law could mean step-father or our modern usage of the term.

1649 - Richard Talbott came to Maryland at the invitation of Governor Stone, settling there in the same period as Sir William Talbot and Col. George Talbot. They were all relatives of Lord Baltimore.[citation needed]

Richard Talbott acquired large bodies of land and eventually made his home at "Poplar Knoll," which remained in his family's possession until 1755:

1659 - Richard Talbott patents tract called Poplar Knowle in Anne Arundel County for 260 acres.[6]

Richard likely began the patents process on these tracts & his son completed it:

1664 - patents tract called Talbotts Ridge in Anne Arundel County for 300 acres[7]
1664 - patents tract called Talbotts Timber Neck for 82 acres [8]

1662 -- Richard Talbott received a land grant on West River Hundred. [9]

Marriage

Richard's plantation adjoined the plantation of Major Richard Wewn, one of the leaders of the Puritan party in Maryland. Richard married Major Ewen's daughter Elizabeth Ewen at Anne Arundel County, but the exact date of their marriage is unknown. They were married by 1659 when Major Ewen made a gift of a right to 50 acres to his "son-in-law," Richard Talbott. It is possible they were married before 17 May 1650, when Richard Ewen demanded 1000 acres for transporting himself, Sopia, his wife, Eliza Davy, Richard Ewen Jr., John Ewen, Susanna Even, Ann Ewen, William Davies, John King and James Brown into the province.[10] Elizabeth is not mentioned. It is possible she made her way to the colony with her husband Richard Talbott.

Richard and Elizabeth were the parents of at least three sons and one daughter, all but Elizabeth were probably born at Poplar Knowle:

  1. Elizabeth Talbott
  2. Richard Talbott, Jr., d. abt. 1670.
  3. Edward Talbott, b. 6 Nov 1658
  4. John Talbott, b. abt. 1660

Death

Richard wrote his will on 21 Apr 1663, at Poplar Knowle, Anne Arundel County, Maryland. Probate of his estate was not dated but it was recorded in the book of 1662-63, and so, it is assumed he died in 1663.[11][12]

-----"I Richard Talbott of the Province of Maryland and in the county of Anne Arundell scituating on West River Planter, being of good and perfect memory Do Constitute ordaine and appoint this my last will and Testament in manner as followeth.

Research Notes

Richard Galloway was from London, England (the Thomas Book, p. 317). His son, Richard married the testator's daughter. A great grandson of the first Richard Galloway, in 1775, bought Poplar Knowle from the Talbott family.[13]

Research needed: Conflicting birth and origin information.

Everything I can find indicates that Robert Talbot and Grace Calvert had only one son, William. I don't think this parentage (though widely used in family trees all over the internet of people who wish to be connected to Lord Baltimore) can be proven or is even correct.

Sir William Talbot became secretary of the Prerogative Court in 1670. If he was a friend of the Calvert family, he was likely a Catholic. The men who settled in Anne Arundel in 1650s were Puritans and very much against the Catholic government of the colony. I doubt this relationship and a primary source should be included.

Maryland wasn't settled by the English until 1634, so it seems unlikely that Richard Talbot was born there.

The year of death (1663) is also problematic if his son Richard II was born in 1668.
