Book excerpt: Excerpt from Talcott Pedigree in England and America: From 1558 to 1876 O'ver forty years ago the compiler, for his own amusement and with a desire to learn from whence the American family of Talcotts came, collected most of the materials for the earlier part of this pedigree, and from time to time, as occasion offered, has been adding to the same; until it embraces almost all of the descendants from the first known ancestor, and has become a record of interest to all of the name now living, and is worthy of preservation. The arrangement of names is such as to bring together the descendants through each branch separately, and not to bring down the whole by generations, as is most frequently done. This makes it very easy to trace one of the present generation back to the original ancestor. For this reason the dates of births, marriages and deaths appear first with the names as children, and then as heads of families, and the numbers attached to the names indicate the children first, and then the heads of families. To make the descent more clear, charts of several branches of the family have been introduced. The biographical sketches are all authentic, and will be found of interest to the immediate descendants of the one written about, if not to the other members of the family. Those of the descendants of William Talcott, who reside in Illinois, were furnished by the Hon. Wait Talcott, of Rockton, Ill., and that of T. M. R. Talcott, of Richmond, Virginia, by himself; the remainder by the compiler. The Talcott family is scattered throughout the entire States, and its members differ widely in religion, politics and occupa tions, and good and true men of the name were found on both sides during the war of the rebellion. It is almost. Impossible to compile a record of this kind that shall be free from errors, but it is hoped that the time and carebestowed upon this, will render it less liable to criticism on this account than works of a similar character.
