THE OSBORN FAMILY
Thomas Osborn, Sr., was father of Thomas, Jr. 2, John 2 and Benjamin
2, and conveyed to the latter in 1687 all his lands in East-Hampton, see
T. R. Vol. I, pp. 84, 300, 406. From Savage's Gen. Dictionary and otherwise
we know that this Thomas 1 had in New Haven a son Jeremiah and other children,
and a brother Richard, the tanner, there. The tradition that he returned
to New Haven and died there, is consistent with the deed and all the known
facts. The Thomas 2 dying in 1712, ‘‘ 90, was son of Thomas 1. The Joseph,
Jr. 3 was son of Thomas 2 dying in 1743, ‘‘ 83, and by will proved Sept.
9, 1746, devised to his son Joseph 4 the old Deacon Osborn homestead, to
his son Jeremiah 4 the house on the corner bought of Capt. Thos. Wheeler,
and to his son Thomas 4 the Pudding Hill lot. Four generations of the family
are traced and located on three homesteads, at so late a date and so clearly
as to leave little if any doubt so far. The same will names his brother
Daniel 3.
We find at an early day in East-Hampton four other Osborns, not of
this stock, to be traced and located. Recompence in 1665, Bezaleel, Joseph
and Jonathan, (see T. R. Vol. I, p. 241, Vol. II, pp. 183, 255 and 256.
Savage names William Osborn 1 in Salem 1630, in Dorchester 1639, and there
had son Recompence 2 b. May 26, 1644, H. C. 1661, at Braintree had Hannah
Aug. 24 1646, Bezaleel May 8, 1650, and after that at Boston had Joseph
2 b. April 6, 1652 and Jonathan b. Nov. 16, 1656. He was a merchant and
died in mid life. Inventory April 29, 1662, over œœ1,000. His wid. m. John
Mulford, of Southampton, L. I. &c. (Southampton is a mistake for East-Hampton.)
Recompence grad. of H. C. After graduation taught school in New Haven and
thence went to East-Hampton, and after 1665 disappears, probably dying
there soon after, at a date not fixed by the college catalogue, but probably
before Bezaleel, who died about 1686, and whose unucupative will proved
in Suffolk Co. Feb. 10, 1686 names his wife Elizabeth, the two sons of
his brotherin-law Arthur Howell, and brothers Joseph and Jonathan. The
will is proved to have been made in the house of Joseph the testator's
brother. The Town Records, Vol. II, p. 256, 257 show that in 1690 Jonathan
then of Cape May, N. J. and Joseph, sons of William of Boston, owned half
a house formerly their father's, and by him given to their mother. The
death of Recompence and Bezaleel and removal of Jonathan to Cape May, before
1690, still left Joseph, son of the rich merchant William, in East-Hampton,
whose descendants, if any, are not traced.
This Joseph probably was the Joseph, Sen. who died in 1741, ‘‘ abt.
90. The statement that the lot of Bezaleel descended in the Osborn family
in the line of the late Sylvanus M. dec'd, is probably an error. The Thomas
2 d. in 1712 left son Joseph 3 d. in 1743, and son Daniel 3 d. in 1713,
who left son Dea. Daniel 4 who d. in 1757, both located on the Osborn homestead
where now resides David E. son of Sylvanus M. The original unproved will
of Daniel 3, and a copy of the will and probate of Daniel 4, are now in
possession of said David E. In the former Joseph Osborn, brother of the
testator, is named executor. In the latter "Thos. Osborn, dec'd" is named
as grandfather of the testator, and his cousin Joseph Osborn as an executor,
demonstrating the descent of both families from Thomas 2. A deed of Daniel
and Jonathan, sons of Daniel, to Jeremiah Osborn, in 1758, confirms this.
There was a Capt. Daniel Osborn, of Southold, whose will dated Oct.
4th, 1771, proved April 29, 1782, names sons Daniel and Wines, and land
at Daniel's Hole and Major Wickham's land, as if in East-Hampton, and who
I think was son of Daniel 4, and is the Daniel named in the will as his
son, with Jonathan, and while the latter remained the former Daniel 5 I
think removed to Southold. His son Daniel 6 probably was the Assemblyman
named in 1787-8, and he was father of the late lawyer Hull Osborn 7 and
Dr. Thomas Osborn 7 of Riverhead, and thus the Southold and East-Hampton
Osborns have the same lineage, as stated by so competent authority as the
late J. Wickham Case. See note, Southold Town Records, Vol. II, p. 536.
The Charles Osborn, late of Bellport, L. I. dec'd, descended from the same
Thomas 2 of East-Hampton.
The writer of the Chronicles of East-Hampton, published in 1838-1841
in The Corrector, at Sag-Harbor, and afterwards in book form in 1870, speaking
of the earliest memorials of the dead, described four red cedar posts,
two connected by a rail and two with the rail missing. He mentions the
fragrance of the wood and the fact that "four years since a person then
aged ninety-four, who was born and always lived in the village, described
them as bearing at his earliest recollection the same worn appearance that
they then did." No inscription was visible on those connected by the rail.
On the others the writer states "the initials B. O. can be indistinctly
traced." I well remember these posts in the burying ground at the "south
end." They were set at the usual distance of head and foot stones over
graves, and probably antedated them as memorials. The old person who I
suppose died in 1836 ‘‘ 98, was Dea. Recompence Sherrill, and his memory
thereof must have gone back to 1742. The initials B. O. are those of Bezaleel
Osborn who died in 1686, and with slight change are those of Recompence
Osborn, the Harvard graduate, dying about 1670, and not unlikely in fact
were marks for the grave of one of them.
In Munsell's History of Suffolk Co. the Osborn genealogy is erroneously
traced from Robert and Elizabeth, of Maidstone, Kent, Eng., to Thomas 2
who d. ‘‘ 90 in 1712, to Daniel 3 d. Jan. 6, 1713 ‘‘ 48 yrs., Daniel 4
d. May 18, 1757, Jonathan 5 d. Nov. 1, 1781, Joseph 6 b. 1754, d.
1844, Joseph 7 b. 1789, d. 1872, Sylvanus M. 8. The partial genealogy
of this family, by Judge Thomas A. Osborn, late of Mayville, Chautauqua
Co., N. Y., Co. Judge in 1843, Member of Assembly in 1868, contains the
same mistake. Thomas 1 Sen. father of Thomas 2 Jr. who died in 1712, may
have been son of that Robert and Elizabeth, but not of Thomas 2. The Town
Records prove Thomas 2 son of Thomas 1.
Deacon Abraham Osborn 6, son of Lewis 5, son of Joseph 4, son of Joseph
3, son of Thomas 2, son of Thomas 1, was a man of devout soul good memory
and good sense, versed in treasured traditionary lore. "And many names
he would repeat,
Whose pulses long have ceased to beat." He said that Thomas 1, Thomas
2, Joseph 3 and his three sons Joseph 4, Jeremiah 4 and Thomas 4, Lewis
5 and Abraham 6, all tanners, worked for six generations at that trade
on the hill where he resided, now the residence of his grand-sons William
A. and Burnet M. Osborn. For generations the family and descendants of
Daniel 3 and his son Deacon Daniel 4 so wrought. Judge Thomas A. ralates
that the family have a tradition that they are of Norman origin, and came
with William the Conqueror. He had an account of the family Coat of Arms
which, writing from memory, is not given. Believing that what we do and
not what our ancestors have done, will be our true measure, I have made
no inquiry in that direction. Dea. Joseph 4, grandfather of Dea. Abraham
6, was a man of strong convictions, and in the Revolution a resolute patriot.
During the Revolutionary war, on his way to church, he was ordered by a
British officer to appear forthwith, with his team and cart, at an appointed
place to do service for the British army. The Deacon inquired by what authority
tbe officer commanded him and was answered "by the authority of the King."
"What King do you serve?" asked the Deacon. The answer was "King George
the Third." The Deacon replied "my King is greater than your King. I serve
King Jesus. He commands me to go to meeting and I shali go." With this
the old hero marched on to the church. To such a man titles and coats of
arms are baubles. Having known the strong personality and power of Dea.
Abraham, his grandson, I can better conceive the master manner of his grandsire.

THE SHERRILL FAMILY
CONTRIBUTED BY TEUNIS D. HUNTTING, ESQ.
The exact date of the arrival in America of Samuel Sherrill 1, the ancestor
of the East-Hampton Sherrills, is unknown. He was a survivor from a shipwreck
which took place on the coast off East-Hampton.
SAMUEL SHERRILL 1 b. in Ireland, of English parents, about 1649, d.
at East-Hampton April 29, 1719. NOTE.--Nearly fifty years ago David Sherrill
5 s. of Recompense 4 told me a company of young ladies visited the wreck.
On returning, one of them said she had seen there the handsomest man she
ever saw. Another young lady replied, "you might marry him." She said,
"I do not know but I would if I could." This came to the knowledge of the
wrecked mariner and resulted in the acquaintance and marriage of the parties.--H.

Zerviah 4 bap. 1731, Jeremiah 4 bap. 1733, Stephen 4 bap. 1735, Jonathan
4 bap. 1738, John 4 bap. 1739; Ellis 4 removed into the western part of
Southampton and had ch. Seth 5, Ellis 5, Daniel 5. From these descended
the numerous families in Squiretown, Good Ground and its vicinity.
JONATHAN 4 bap. 1738, resided in the dwelling house at Wainscott (now
of James H. Topping) where his father and probably grandfather resided.
Many grave stones in Wainscott prove this. Jonathan 4 was said to be a
man of great strength. Tradition reports that he had green oak rails on
his shoulder and slipping on the ice broke his leg; that he crawled into
the house, got on the bed, and set his broken leg, refusing the services
of the doctor who afterwards came. He had ch. Stafford 5, Ellis 5, John
5 b. abt. 1783, Stephen 5, Sylvanus 5, Henry 5, Mehetable 5, Mary 5, Phebe

THE TALMAGE OF TALLMADGE FAMILY
BY JAMES M. B. DWIGHT, OF NEW HAVEN, CONN.
This family name has been variously written in different ages, Talmage,
Tallmadge, Talmash, Talmacke, Tollemache, and in several other ways.
The family is one of the most ancient in English history, and is traditionally
believed, says Burke, to go back to Saxon times to Toelmag, a Saxon Lord
of the 6th century of our era.
The name is found as Toelmag in Domesday Book, time of William the
Conqueror, and also on the Roll of Battle Abbey of the same century in
the Norman form Tollemache. It is found at Stoke Talmage in Oxfordshire
in 1135; in Norfolk in 1200; in Suffolk at a very early date, and in Hampshire
soon after 1300. The seat of the family in Hampshire was at Newton Stacey,
an outlying manor of Barton Stacey, in the County of Hampshire or Southampton,
and about ten miles northwest of Winchester, where the family had been
long settled.
In respect to the early history of the American family of Talmage or
Tallmadge, I would say that historical writers have made numerous mistakes
and given a most confused and incorrect account of the matter. The principal
authority is "Thompson's History of Long Island," whose statement found
in several parts of the volume are confused, misleading and contradictory
of each other. They are probably derived from some aged member of the family
who has mixed up his generations, as so often happens.
For example, Thompson says, p. 297, "Thomas Talmage, Jr., (known as
the Recorder, or Town Clerk, of East-Hampton) was the son of Enos Talmage,
of New Haven, who it is supposed died here. Thomas Talmage, brother of
Enos, made freeman of Boston 1634, and of Lynn 1636, settled at Branford,
in Connecticut, whence he removed, and died at New Haven."
On another page he says, "Thomas, Jr., son of Enos, had brothers Enos,
Thomas and Daniel, which last removed to New Jersey in 1725."
The real fact was that these three were grandsons of Thomas, Jr., the
Recorder, and great-grandsons of Thomas, Sr., of Lynn, who was the first
of the name in Southampton and East-Hampton.
To the New Jersey branch of the family, descendants of Daniel above
mentioned, belong the Rev. Dr. T. DeWitt Talmage, his brother the Rev.
Toyn Talmage, and Daniel Talmage and sons, of Brooklyn. This branch of
the Talmages has intermarried with the VanNest and Beekman families.
Enos was not one of the emigrants from England. These were William
of Boston, Thomas of Lynn and afterwards of Southampton and East-Hampton,
and Robert of New Haven, three brothers. Robert of New Haven had a son
Enos, who was killed by the Indians in the massacre at Schenectany, and
a 2d Enos, who appears in the above confused accounts of Thompson as one
of the original emigrants, was really, in all probability, a grandson of
Thomas, the Recorder, and a grea grandson of Thomas Talmage, Senior, of
Lynn and East-Hampton. He appears in the Town Records of East-Hampton in
1717 and 1721.
Judge Hedges, in his address of 1849, seems to have followed the same
authority and been led by him into the same mistakes, which are refuted
by the Town Records of Southampton and East-Hampton.
These unfortunate errors make it important to state correctly the true
beginnings of the Talmage family in America, the evidence of which has
only recently come to light, and which places the matter beyond further
doubt or uncertainty.
Thomas Lechford was an English lawyer who came to Boston in 1638 and
returned to England in 1641. He was the first practising lawyer in Massachusetts.
He kept a note-book of legal memoranda which has been recently printed,
in which occurs the following entry, p. 294, old 167: "William Talmage
of Boston, in New England, Thomas Talmage, Robert Talmage, and Richard
Walker, husband of Jane Talmage, deceased, sonnes and daughter of Thomas
Talmage, brother of John Talmage, of Newton Stacey, in the Co. of Southampton,
deceased, make a letter of Attorney to Richard Conying and William Dowlying,
overseers of the will of the said John Talmage, deceased, to receive of
the Executor and administrator of the last will and testament of Symon
Talmage our brother and of John Talmage aforesaid, the summes of money
due unto us by the will of the said John Talmage (and a certificate under
the public seal (L. S.))"
Page 311 new, old 175: "A letter of attorney by William Talmage, Thomas
Talmage and Robert Talmage aforesaid, and Richard Walker to Mr. Ralph King,
to receive the money of the said overseer. Dated 3 Sept. 1640. (A certificate
made under the public seal (L. S.))
These memoranda show conclusively that there were three brothers Talmage
who came to America--William, Thomas and Robert--and a sister Jane, who
married Richard Walker, of Lynn. These came from England to New England
in 1630, and no others are known to have come to America in the Colonial
period.
The record also establishes the fact that they were children of Thomas
Talmage, of Newton Stacey, in the County of Southampton or Hampshire, England.
It also proves that they had an uncle, John Talmage, who left each of them
legacies in his will, and also a brother, Symon Talmage, who also mentioned
them in his will and referred to these legacies. These three brothers and
sister's husband gave a power of attorney to Ralph King to receive this
money.
We thus obtain the names of the three founders of the Talmage name
and family in America. We learn their residence in England and learn of
the wills of uncle and brother there.
During the last year, 1895, I have had these wills searched for and
found in England, and obtain from them the names of the legatees above
mentioned, who are the three Talmage brothers and their sister Jane.
This power of attorney and these English wills are thus dovetailed
together, and establish the fact of the English origin and former home
of these brothers beyond question.
I have also further traced the family descent through wills and subsidies
to an earlier Robert Talmash, whose will is dated 1523, and who must have
been born before 1500. Still more recent advices carry the family backward
nearly to 1300, where at the head of the line stands Sir William Talmach.
We find in the Suffolk line a Sir William Tallamach of the same date (see
Collins' Peerage). We have reason to believe that these two are one and
the same, and that the Suffolk and Hampshire line of the family are united
here.
The elder of the three Talmage brothers, William, settled in Boston,
and died leaving only daughters.
The second brother, Thomas Talmage, settled in Lynn, Mass. He was admitted
freeman in Boston in 1634, and was allotted there 200 acres of land, which
shows that he was a man of substance. [See Lewis' History of Lynn, p. 114:
"The Council had agreed that each person who had advanced fifty pounds
should have 200 acres, and that each person who came over on his own expense
should have 50 acrcs.]
He thus became one of the largest landholders in the town. He removed
to Southampton, Long Island, in 1642, and joined the colony from Lynn which
settled there and in 1649 he removed to East-Hampton with his son Thomas
Talmage, Junior, who became the first Recorder, or Town Clerk of the Town.
The Long Island and New Jersey branches of the family are descended from
Thomas Talmage, Sr., and his son, Thomas Talmage, Jr., the Recorder, also
known as Captaln Thomas Talmage. Thomas Talmage, Senior, died soon after
coming to East-Hampton in 1653. Thomas Talmage, Junior, was a man of education,
with a scholarly and elegant handwriting, which resembles that still taught
at the famous school at Manchester, so near his English birth-place. May
he not have been a pupil of this famous school? He was a man of much prominence
in the early history of the town, and, says Judge Hedges, "the records
show that at his death in 1690 he was the richest man in East-Hampton."
Robert Talmage, the youngest of these three brothers, probably came
with Thomas Talmage to Southampton in 1642, and when his brother left there,
himself removed to Connecticut, and settled at New Haven in 1643, where
he married, and died in 1662, leaving also a considerable estate, which
is now in the business centre of the city, (corner Chapel and State streets)
and of great value.
From him all of the name in Connecticut are descended, and also a numerous
body of his descendants is found in New-York, City and State. The Connecticut
and New-York branch of the family has produced many men of distinction
in public life, and in the service of the country. Among them we find Hon.
John Tallmadge, for many years elected to the General Assembly of Connecticut;
his brother Colonel Benjamin Tallmadge, of Revolutionary fame, the friend
of Washington, and now represented by his grandson, Frederick S. Tallmadge,
President of the Society of the Sons of the Revolution. We find many distinguished
Judges of the higher Courts of the several States and of the United States,
others noted as Governors and Lieutenant-Governors of States, and as Senators
and Representatives in the National Congress. This branch of the family
has intermarried with many of the first families of the country, and has
much wealth and social prominence. Among noted families thus connected
with it may be named that of Governor Yale, the founder of Yale College,
that of Governor George Clinton, Vice-President of the United States, the
Lewis family, the Burnetts, the VanRensselaers, the Hookers, the Dwights,
the Pomeroys, the Delafields and the Floyds. It has also been connected
with families of distinction both in France and England.
The genealogy of the East-Hampton and New Jersey branch of the family
will be given by another hand.
The spelling of the name in America, as in England, has gone through
several variations. The Talmages of East-Hampton and New Jersey spell the
name Talmage, as it is spelled by Lechford, though Thomas
Talmage, the Recorder, their ancestor for many years spell it Tallmage
and sometimes without the e at the end, which shows that he pronounced
it Tall-mag (g soft).
The Connecticut Tallmadges, and those of New-York, descendants of Robert
Tallmage have from the beginning spelled the name with a d and written
it as it was spelled in the will of the English Uncle John Tallmadg, who
left to the three brothers the legacies before mentioned as stated in Lechford's
note book.
In Lewis' History of Lynn the name is spelled both ways, which shows
that Thomas Tallmag also spelled his name Tallmadge. Thus both spellings
are of equal authority and antiquity in America, and both are found in
England at a much earlier period long before the emigration. There is one
point also important to observe, viz: that the ancient names of the family--Talmage,
Tallmadge, Talmash, Talmache, Tollemache--are used interchangeably; one
ancestor using one form, his son another, and the same using different
forms at different times. This shows that whatever the spelling they really
were pronounced alike. This proves that the name was never pronounced Talmage
as we do now with a short a in the first syllable and a long a in the second
syllable. but that it was pronounced with the first a as in tall and the
second a as in lad; so that the spelling Tall-madge exactly represents
its ancient sound and was no doubt adopted to indicate and preserve this.
And this is made still more evident by giving the g its sound in Norman
French of zh, which makes Talmage, Tallmadge and Tollmache practically
identical in sound.
The ancient name is represented by two titles in the Peerage of England,
that of the Earls of Dysart who have spelled the name Talmash, and that
of Lord Tollemache who holds the ancient seat and lands of the family at
Helmingham Hall, in Suffolk.

FAMILY OF VAN SCOY

With the first settlers who came to New Netherlands, now New-York, were
three brothers, Abraham, Peter and Isaac Van Schaick. Abraham located in
Albany, Peter on the Hudson River near Hudson City, Isaac in or about the
town of Oyster Bay, on Long Island. I find no account of their children.
There is a family tradition that Cornelius Van Scoy grandson of Isaac,
came to East-Hampton, and in Oct. 1727, m. Patience, dau. of Isaac Barnes,
of Amagansett, (son of Joshua, one of the first settlers) who was b. in
