1. William TALBOTT. Born in 1621 in London, England. William died circa 1680; he was 59.
Alan Dorschug Notes: [1]
It is not known, at this time, when our Talbott ancestors immigrated to the New World. A Samuel Talbott is mentioned in the Minutes of the Virginia Council and General Court, 1622-1624 as "(D)ept fr Sam: Talbott of 59" tob of which he had lost Mr Benets noa(t)." Another reference in the Court of James Citty the 12th of January 1626 is "Benjamin Drury & Samuel Tabott I desire you to goe w'th Henry Woodward to Warosquoyacke, & to remaine with him there, till you heare further fro' your master Mr. Stone out of England."-
A William Talbott, age fourteen,3 was transported from London to Virginia in August, 1635 on the "Globe." And in Cavaliers and Pioneers: Abstracts of Virginia Land Patents and Grants there are listed William Talbotts as being transported to Virginia in four different instances: in a land grant to Captain Henry Fleete dated 1 August 1652; in a land grant to Edward Coles dated 10 October 1652; in a land grant to Toby Smith dated 10 June 1657; and in a land grant to Lt. Col. Thomas Goodrich in 1662. (Some times land grants were issued several years after persons arrived in America and it could be that four different persons (Fleete, Coles, Smith and Goodrich) all claimed the same William Talbott in order to obtain more land. The Maryland Archives contains records of a long bitter lawsuit over the ownership of Kent Island in Chesapeake Bay. William Claiborne of Virginia claimed ownership of the island as a gift from the crown, but Lord Baltimore claimed the island as part of his Maryland holdings. A William Tawbott had apprenticed himself (for passage to America) to work in a factory making wine casks on the Island of Kent in a business belonging to Cloberry & Company of England whose manager of shipping was Captain Henry Fleete. The Maryland records show that about thirty men who had testified for Claiborne against Lord Baltimore fled the island and that William and John Talbot were taken off the island by Captain Henry Fleet in the Cloberry ship to Lancaster County on the north side of the Rappahannock River in 1652. A William Talbott of Rappannock County, Virginia is said to have married Mary Sharp prior to 1676 and to them three sons were born: William who married Katherine Lewis, John and Thomas. William Talbott received a patent for one hundred fourteen acres of land in Rappahannock County adjacent to Col. Goodrich, land formerly owned by Thomas Paddison on 8 April 1674. It is known that William Talbott, our ancestor, purchased one hundred thirty-three and one-half acres of land at the head of Rappahannock Creek on 29 October 1698 from William Stewart.7 Our William Talbott was married to Katherine Lewis Moss, daughter of William and Ann Lewis. William Talbott died in 1713, intestate; and his widow, Katherine, asked the court of Richmond County, Virginia for representatives to appraise her husband's estate (Richmond County was formed from Rappahannock County in 1692).
Children
Samuel, b 1688/89, Rappahannock County, VA; d 1726; m Elizabeth
*Benjamin, b 1690+, d 1726, m. Hannah Neale.
On 2 September 1719, Samuel Talbott, above, of Sittenbourne in the County of Richmond, son of William and Katherine, gave to his brother, Benjamin, all rights to a parcel of land containing sixty-six and three-fourths acres at the head of Rappahannock Creek which had been purchased by his father, William, from William Stewart, provided Benjamin Talbott would have an heir. If Benjamin Talbott should die without issue law-fully begotten, the said land and premises were to be returned to the said Samuel Talbott.
Benjamin Talbott and Hannah, his wife, rightfully produced their first born, William Talbott, before 1722; and in a deed dated 5 February 1723, Samuel Talbott for and in consideration of the sum of five shillings money of Great Brittain to him in hand paid by his brother, Benjamin Talbott, gave Benjamin complete title to the one hundred and thirty-three and one-half acres of land his father, William had purchased from William Stewart.
Benjamin Talbott
Benjamin Talbott, born circa 1690, was the second son of William and Katherine (Lewis) Talbott. He married Hannah Neale, daughter of Daniel and Ursula (Presley) Neale.
Benjamin had inherited all of the land of his father, William, because he had an heir and therefore Benjamin's brother, Samuel, relinquished his share of the land. In 1726, both Samuel and Benjamin died suddenly, about five days apart, probably from an epidemic, and Hannah was left a widow with four boys to raise.
Benjamin is mentioned in his brother's will, written 16 December 1726 as receiving a"horse, his best suit of wearing clothes, and four chairs."
Benjamin Talbott made his last will on 24 December 1726 which reads: In the name of God, Amen, I, Benjamin Talbott of the Parish of Sittenbourne and County of Richmond being very sick of body but of sound sense and memory, praise be given to God for the same do constitute and ordain this to be my last will and testament in manner and form following: Imprimes: First and Principally, I recommend my soul to Almighty God who gave it and my body to be decently interred at the descretion of my executors hereafter named.
Item: I give and bequeath unto my loving wife, Hannah Talbott, a horse, and a suit of clothes, four chairs, a hand saw, broad axe and sword. I give to be equally divided between my four sons, William, Benjamin, Daniel and Samuel Talbott, all which my brother, Samuel Talbott, left me before his decease.
Item: I give unto my son, William Talbott, a pair of pistols, holsters and breastplate.
Item: I give my four sons William, Benjamin, Daniel and Samuel Talbott two cows each to be delivered to them when they attain the age of twenty years and further my will is that at the deathof any or either of them that their share is to go to the survivors.
Item: I give to Presley Neale my yellow suit of clothes.
Item: I give to my loving wife all the rest of my estate, my land and one negro woman named "Molly" and after her decease to go to my son William and in case the negro woman hath any children my will is that my three other sons have each of them one if she have so many, and if not, that my son Benjamin have the first born, Daniel the next and Samuel the last and if she have any more to go to my son William and his heirs.
Item: I constitute and appoint my well beloved wife and my loving friend, Wharton Ramsdell, whole and sole executors of this my last will and testament hereby revoking all former and other wills heretofore by me made. In testimony thereof I h~ye hereunto setmyhand and seal the 24th day of December 1726.
It was just three years after Samuel and Benjamin died (in 1726) that Hannah, Benjamin's wife, died. The four boys: William, Benjamin, Daniel and Samuel, were taken to Fairfax County, Virginia to be raised by their uncles, the Neales. Hannah's estate was appraised and recorded in Richmond County 6 August 1729 as having a total value of betweenl2 five and six hundred dollars. A few of the items inventoried were:
4 head of sheep
4 sows
11 shoats @ 3s

1 old feather bed & bolster
2 old cotton sheets & bedstead
1 old table, gorm, old chest

(WE ARE DESCENDED FROM BOTH WILLIAM TALBOTT AND HIS BROTHER, SAMUEL. LEANNA TALBOTT, DAUGHTER OF WILLIAM TALBOTT, MARRIED HER COUSIN, DEMOVIL TALBOTT, SON OF SAMUEL TALBOTT.)
Samuel Talbott
Samuel was born circa 1726, the son of Benjamin and Hannah (Neale) Talbott. His parents died when he was young and he and his brothers were raised by their Neale uncles.
Samuel Talbott was married in 1752 to Mary Magdaline Demoville, daughter of Samuel and Rose (Neale) Demoville. Samuel Talbott's mother, Hannah Neale Talbott, and Samuel Talbott's mother-in-law, Rose Neale, were cousins.
In 1756, Samuel and Mary Magdaline Talbott bought two hundred and two acres of land from her brother, Sampson Demoville and his wife, Betty, in Fairfax County, Virginia, for seventy pounds current money;17 and in 1759, they sold the land for eighty pounds to Richard Simpson. In 1767, Samuel Talbott purchased four hundred acres of land on Elk Licking Run in the County of Loudoun, Virginia; and in 1772, he sold the land. On 18 May, 1774, Samuel Talbott of Fairfax County, VA bought three hundred acres of land 9 in Fairfax County for two hundred and twenty-five pounds current money.
Family lore is that Samuel Talbott died at Valley Forge while fighting for George Washington during the Revolutionary War. He is said to have died 31 December 1777. 20
In "Talbott Family History" by Presley Talbott, it is stated: Many of the men of the same area were known to be in the Revolution, friends of the Talbotts. December 6, 1777, the British advanced on Washington's army at Whitmarsh in the suburbs of Morgantown, having left Philadelphia. On the 8th, the British advanced and were attacked by Colonel Daniel Morgan and his rifle corps and Colonel Gist and his Maryland militia. Twenty-seven in Morgan's corps were killed or wounded. On the 9th the British retreated to Philadelphia, and Washington broke up his encampment at Whitmarsh and in the midst of deep snow marched to his winter quarters at Valley Forge arriving the 19th. Samuel Talbott died there twelve days later on Tuesday, December 31, 1777.--
No official record has been found of his participation in the war; however on 15 June 1778, Mary Magdaline Talbott, William Payne and Thomas Langston posted a bond of two thousand pounds "the condition of this obligation is such that if the above bound Mary, administrator of all goods, chattels and credits of Samuel Talbutt, deceased ....22 In the administration of his estate in 28 April 1779, Fairfax County, Virginia, Mary Magdaline Talbott received her dower's portion of her husband's estate which included several Negro slaves, a black horse, one bay and colt, furniture, silver teaspoons, stone soup plates, Queens china and other household items and livestock. 23 Mary Magdaline Talbott died in 1791; her will is as follows: In the name of God, Amen I, Mary Magdaline Talbott, of the County of Fairfax and Parish of Truro professing a sound mind and memory do appoint and constitute this my last will and testament in the manner and form hereafter expressed. First, I recommend my soul to God through the merits of his son, Jesus Christ and well knowing that my body is but dust, and after, I desire that it may be decently (by my Executors) buried so return to what I was taken from, as to what God has been pleased to bless me with I give as follows, viz: I give and bequeath to my son, Rodham Talbott, a horse called "Lightfoot" and a featherbed and furniture belonging to it.
I give and bequeath to my loving daughter, Hannah Talbott, a Negro woman called "Peg" also two feather beds with their furniture and one bed quilt enclusive; also a cherry tree chest with drawers together with a mare called "Pink" and her riding saddle also a large looking glass and her large trunk.
I give and bequeath to my loving daughter, Catherine Johnson, one horse called "Monkey" and a bed that she is now in possession of with a quilt for a bed that she also has also furniture for that bed. I desire may be given her out of the house also her riding saddle and a large trunk that she is in possession of together with a small trunk. I give and bequeath to my loving daughter, Anna Talbott, one Negro boy called "Dennis" and one mare called "Fanny" and her riding saddle also two beds with their furniture and a bed quilt enclusive also one large trunk and two small ditto.
I give to my son DeMovii Talbott my large family Bible he having possessed the greatest part of his father's estate cannot expect more.
I give to my son, Samuel Talbott, forty shillings Virginia currency to be paid by my Executors hereafter mentioned as a small proof that I have not forgotten him though he is far removed from me long since. The slaves that I hold as my dower, if I am insisted to dispose of them, I desire may be equally divided among all my children.
It is my will and desire that all the rest and residue of my estate be equally divided between my sons Rodham and Sampson and my daughters Hannah, Catherine and Anna, and lastly I do appoint my sons Demovil Talbott and Rodham Talbott Executors to this my last will and testament revoking all other wills by me heretofore made given under my hand and seal this seventh day of February 1791.
