2 JOSEPH TALLMAN, son of Jeremiah Tallman, I, came with his father to Mon- mouth County, N. J. He married by license dated Nov. 3, 1766, Mary Jeffrey.
1776. Joseph Tallman, son of Jeremiah Tallman, with Mary his wife, mortgaged lands in Shrewsbury, N. J., to the Loan Commissioners, devised by the will of William Jeffrey, deceased, to the said Mary Tallman, late Mary Jeffrey, bounded by the lands of Daniel and Lewis Jeffrey.
In 1779 and 1788, he was taxed in Shrewsbury.
I have no further information concerning him.
3 OLIVER TALLMAN, son of Jeremiah Tallman, I, was born at Portsmouth, R. I., June 15, 1737. He resided at Long Branch, Monmouth County, N. J., prior to the Revolutionary War, where he owned a considerable estate. This he forfeited by becoming a Royalist. During the Battle of Monmouth, he fought on the British side, while his son, William fought under Washington. At the end of the war his estates were confiscated and sold, and he, accompanied with two of his sons, Peter and Daniel, with- drew to Canada, on the North shore of Lake Ontario, near St. Catharines, where lands were ceded to him for his loyalty to the Crown.
Apparently the confiscated lands did not always find ready purchasers for it was not until Mch. 29, 1799, that the plantations of Christopher and Oliver Tallman, at Tinton Falls, N. J., were sold.
In 1771 and 1773, Oliver Tallman was taxed in Shrewsbury, N. J.
His stay in Canada must have been short because he died in Shrewsbury, in 1788, leaving a will written Nov. 28, 1787; proved Jan. 11, 1788, wherein he called himself of Shrewsbury and spelled his name Oliver Talman, and mentioned:
son Daniel Talman; daughter Jemima; son William Talman; daughter Molly Talman; daughter Hannah; brother Jeames' land, and disposed of several negroes. He signed his name to the will. Executor: George Howland. Joseph Tallman, a witness. The executor renounced and William Tallman qualified in a bond of £500, with Joseph Tallman as bondsman. The amount of his inventory was £84:17:06.

Dear Madam :--
Yours of I Ith which reached me here this evening was rather a surprise. I would say that you have been entirely misinformed and the tone of your letter is altogether unwarranted. The Tallman burying ground at Port au Peck has not been sold and not one penny has been paid to me or to any body else except to Mr. Mount the undertaker at Red Bank for carefully removing the remains and reinterring them at Fairview Cemetery near Middletown, where the stones have been fully restored. The five (5) living heirs of my father, together with Mr. S. T. Bradford, the eldest son of the Bradford family have relin-

quished their rights in the piece of ground but that does not affect the rights of anyone else that may have any.
The facts are that the burrying ground was in a disgraceful condition and myself and brothers had no money to fix it up and care for it. The fences were broken down, cattle and horses roamed through it at will, the stones were overturned and that of my mother broken in twenty pieces. The ground was all overgrown with weeds and briers and young trees. In short it was heartrending to visit it. At Fair- view everything will be looked after and cared for forever. Since the burial of James Tallman about 75 years ago, no one has been buried there but my own family's immediate predecessors, viz., my grand- father, wife, sister, and children & my father, wife, sister and children-the last being my father in 1882. Not one of us now lives in Monmouth Co. and are not likely to again. Not one of us has or ever had the slightest desire to be buried at Port au Peck.
As my grandfather Stephen S. Tallman was the sole heir to James Tallman, a bachelor, who estab- lished the burying ground, and my father Geo. D. Tallman, Sr., was the sole heir to sd Stephen and we five children were the sole heirs to sd Geo. D., and as further, no one but the immediate members of our family ever buried there or took the slightest interest in the plot, we considered we had a right to remove the remains and place them where they could be properly cared for as well as resign what rights we had to the plot, without in any way affecting any body elses rights if any existed.
Yours
G. D. TALLMAN
P.S. As long as I lived in Shrewsbury & had a little means I looked after the plot but later after losing everything I had in the world & moving away I simply was unable to continue, hence the ruin of the ground. I would be glad if you showed this letter to the people who have been talking so unkindly about me.
TAYLOR
OF
MONMOUTH COUNTY*
Among those who very early followed the original Patentees and Associates, in the settlement of Middletown, was Edward Taylor, whose name immediately proclaims him an Englishman. His parentage, whatever may have been claimed to the contrary, is yet unknown, as likewise his English home.
His descendant, the late Asher Taylor, Esq., was a most industrious, conscientious and well-informed antiquary and genealogist, and perhaps, the pioneer in this field in Monmouth County. Boasting, as he did, that he descended from the best of Mon- mouth stock, it is not surprising that he rescued many interesting facts concerning his progenitors. In tracing out his immediate family, he claimed that Edward Taylor, the founder of the American family, was the son of John, and the brother of Matthew Taylor, a New Jersey Proprietor. That he, Edward Taylor, through this ancestor, John Taylor, was the direct descendant of Baron Taillefer, a follower of William, the Conqueror, who died on the battle-field of Hastings, 1066, and that between the said John Taylor, his supposed father, and the Baron Taillefer, there were eight generations.
The claim to this ancient pedigree rests upon the fact that Matthew Taylor, who died in New York, in 1688, was thought to be the descendant of this family, and supposed to be the brother of Edward Taylor, who settled in Middletown. It is not disputed that Matthew Taylor was of the family above alluded to, but it is impossible to find any evidence that he was in any way related to Edward Taylor, of Middletown. The worthy Asher Taylor cites, in evidence of the kinship of these parties, a will recorded, in New York, that of Matthew Taylor, dated Feb. 20, 1687/8. He claims that after appropri- ating ten guineas to buy his friend Manning a mourning ring, he, Matthew Taylor, wills the residue of his property to his brother, Edward, residing in London, with reversion to Edward's son George. As a matter of fact, the will states, that, after appropriating twenty shillings for Capt. Manning to buy a mourning ring, and the sum of £20 for his two executors, he leaves the residue of his property to his loving brother Samuel Taylor, residing in London, with reversion to Samuel's son George.
*Many years ago, during the last decade of his life, Asher Taylor, No. 285 of this pedigree, allowed me to copy his notes on the Taylor family. These constitute a large portion of this Taylor genealogy, subjected to corrections, additions and rearrange- ment. Mr. Hiram E. Deats likewise published this Asher Taylor genealogy, with memoranda of the Taylor intermarriages, in his magazine, The Jerseyman, Vol. VIII, No. 1, and succeeding numbers.

HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
How this error could have occurred it is idle to speculate, and while it destroys the claim to an English pedigree, it still leaves the American family a record rich in fullness, historic interest, and one of which they may well be proud.
If any further evidence is wanting that it was a mistake to assign Edward Taylor as the heir of Matthew, and that it was following Matthew's decease, and in the year 1692 that he came to America, it may be found, in the old Town Book, of Middletown, which records his, (Edward's), cattle-mark, in 1684, and in the Book of Land Patents, at Perth Amboy, in which are recorded grants, Jan. 13, 1692, of two tracts of land of one hundred acres, in Middletown; another tract of one hundred acres, Dec. 28, 1685; another tract of one hundred and sixty acres, July 27, 1686, in Middletown; and in 1687, of still another tract of one hundred and fifty acres.
It also follows that most of his children were born here, and not in the mother country. Of the life of Edward Taylor, the First, little if anything is known. He died in the year 1710, after having accumulated a large estate, principally in lands, which were divided among his children. They were started in life prosperously, and each and all improved his condition, so that the family at once became prominent and opulent. The few writings of the first comer, that are in existence, prove that he was intelligent and educated, and that he belonged to the highest class that migrated to our shores in the early days of its colonization.

Among the items, mentioned in his will, is a silver cup, bequeathed to his son, Edward Taylor, 8, which was not unlikely brought from Old England, and which, by an unlucky thought, was melted down by the legatee's wife into a more modern shape. As such, it is still in the family descending to the Edward Taylor's in succession.
1733. He mortgaged his land to the Loan Commissioners, situated at Colt's Neck, bounded by Nine [Pine?] Brook, John Throckmorton, Esq., and Major Leonard.
