"HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL MISCELLANY," by John Stillwell, M.D. Vol. V Pgs. 35 - 39: >From JERMIAH TALLMAN, 24, the son of Dr. James Tallman, 10, and grandson of Peter Tallman, 1, born Sept. 25, 1712, and therefore a younger brother of Dr. Stephen Tallman who settled at Pumpkin Point, Shrewsbury, Monmouth County, NJ, descends a family likewise seated in the vicinity of Shrewsbury. Jeremiah Tallman, himself, settled in Monmouth County about or soon after the arrival of Dr. Stephen Tallman 1758, July 7. Jeremiah Tallman paid in part for his daughter's fine £3-6-6. Town Records, Shrewsbury, NJ 1759, He was taxed in Shrewsbury £2-1-9 1/2 Issue 2 Joseph Tallman married Mary Jeffrey 3 Oliver Tallman born June 15, 1737, in Rhode Island pg. 36 4 Daniel Tallman 5 James Tallman 6 Hannah Tallman born Apr. 15, 1739, in Rhode Island. 6a Gideon Tallman born June 25, 1736, in Rhode Island. He was taxed in Shrewsbury in 1759, £1-16-8. 2 JOSEPH TALLMAN, son of Jeremiah Tallman, 1, came with his father to Monmouth 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, 1, 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, withdrew 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. Issue 6 Daniel Tallman 7 Jemima Tallman 8 William Tallman 9 Molly Tallman 10 Peter Tallman 10a Hannah Tallman 5 JAMES TALLMAN, son of Jeremiah Tallman, 1, is mentioned in his brother Oliver Tallman's will as "my brother Jeames' land." He was probably a resident of Shrewsbury, N.J., where, in 1784, he was fined £4 for petty larceny, and where, in 1789, his name appears upon the Tax List. Issue 11 James Tallman supposed 12 Rachel Tallman supposed pg. 37 6 DANIEL TALLMAN, son of Oliver Tallman, 3. 1776. Daniel Tallman, of Shrewsbury, N.J., for £15, mortgaged lands to the Loan Commissioners, which he had received by deed from Daniel and Sarah Wooley in 1775. In 1779, he was taxed in Shrewsbury. 8 WILLIAM TALLMAN, son of Oliver Tallman, 3, was the youngest son and born 1758.

He is supposed to be born in England c 1660. He died in Freehold twp in 1712, she in 1726. I descend from his son Cornelius David William D.

Is there details of this book which I could obtain and then perhaps try to get it on interlibrary loan from England? Otherwise perhaps you could tell me of somewhere where I could purchase the appropriate photocopies for my family links from this book. I look forward to hearing from you about this. I'm working with a consortium of cousins from the William D. Thompson line and could share all this with them, perhaps saving you some time and trouble?

Excerpts from the first chapter, with information not repeated in this book, are reprinted here for the benefit of those who do not have a copy. "The house faced about 125 feet N of the Burlington Path. When County Road #537 replaced the Burlington Path, what was the rear of the house became the front. The tract went S to the Manasquan River. "The farm, originally 3000 acres, was part of a large tract, known as Passequenctqua Indian Purchase about 1690. Public meetings were held here from 1710 to 1723. The present town of Freehold didn't exist until 1715, when the Court House was built. "A tier of lots was laid out on the N side of the Burlington Path. The most western lot (100 acres), was assigned to Elizabeth Hutton, who sold to Robert James, who must have occupied one lot more. The Stone House farm, E of the James property, included 1000 more acres purchased from John Hampton for 6 pounds in 1714, and 10 acres from Tunis Covert. "Cornelius left the farm and the 1000 acres from Hampton to his son John, on becoming 21. He also left John his clothes. "The ten acres from Covert were to go to his son Lewis, after the death of his wife, who had life rights as long as she remained his widow. "His youngest sons were to get 100 pounds on turning 21, his married daughter 50 pounds, and the other daughters 40 pounds on reaching age 18 or getting married. He left each son a horse, "Ayres purchased the farm from Roscoe Clayton 1918, whose children, Harold, Russell and Eleanor, were born here. Clayton sold to Charles Martin Higgins in 1922. He stuccoed the 32' x 16' living room to keep out the dampness. "John E. and Mary Johnson purchased and later lost the 100 acres, so his father, a potato farmer, took over. The Johnsons did not take care of the house. The stone was beginning to crumble, the back cellar stairway was exposed, the porch and railing broken, and the trim in need of putty and paint. "Squatters were living here without heat when it burned. At that time it was owned by five NY doctors and lawyers, who had purchased it for speculation.. pg. 1 "1. Cornelius 1660-1727 m. 1st.

Recently, we discovered that one of their children, Edgar Preston, was born 1831 at Black's Mill, NJ which I understand was a village in Manalapan Township. We have always felt that Thompson Preston's mother or grandparents were "Thompsons" but have never found any proof. My question is, "Are there any "Prestons" or "Rues" mentioned in the above book? RESPONSE: "DESCENDANTS OF CORNELIUS TOMSON/THOMSON/THOMPSON OF MANALAPAN TOWNSHIP, MONMOUTH COUNTY, NJ," by Elizabeth Makin Thompson There are a two or three Rue marriages in the 1800's connected to this line and one Preston marriage, again, late 1800s. One does seem to be early enough to satisfy your request, but this family, (what little is noted about it) is probably not what you want. Pg. 9: Cornelius,b.@1746; d.1841; son of John Thompson; m. Frances Gano. Their daughter Elizabeth married a ? Rue (no dates or locations given) Pg. 4: The father John was b. 1734; d.1805 Hunterdon Co. I will give it to you as written: "John, son of John 4- of Perth Amboy (M/A); (issue 18gl)" John 4 is a son of Cornelius who spelled his name without the "h" or "p" and he was a member of old Tennent Church. He moved to Allentown."

Not sure where they were from but their son Willis lived and is buried in Atlantic view cemetery in Manasquan NJ. RESPONSE: The following comes from "Descendants of Cornelius Tomson/Thomson/Thompson of Manalapan Township, Monmouth County, New Jersey," by Elizabeth Makin Thompson. The author has precious few copies of this book left. Looking at how deep you are into this family, the book may be extremely helpful to your research, and you may want to consider purchasing it. It's 63 pages (8 1/2 X 11)plus index. I can send you the author's address if you decide to buy it.

William Thompson #265 ____________________________________________________________ THOMPSON/DAR RECORDS I wrote to you some time ago, I recently heard that _____(private name) entered DAR through a Thompson ancester. I am most curious as to which descendant of Cornelius it was. I don't know if you can help me with this or if I should write directly to Joyce. I really am "dying" to find out! I am too, of this line and trying to find such info when you live out of state is tough. I have purchased many of the reference books, such as the Ellis History, but have not found anything to confirm or deny any type of info on my Rev. Thompson's. I feel certain there must be one, someplace. If you can't help me I understand since this is probably an unusual request. At any rate, I'm so glad to be able to visit Monmouth County through the internet. Thanks for any info you can share. RESPONSE: I looked up your request and know I've already searched my books for your James Thompson. If there's a DAR enrollment on your subject, then you can get a copy of the genealogy, but you need to know their membership number. From personal experience, I can tell you the DAR will send you basically the copy of the lineage that appears in their books (which is where you get their membership number) + a copy of the Adj. Gen. report on the patriot if it was also submitted (only the military record, not the pension papers). They will not send you a copy of the verification that went into proving the genealogy. Some of the A.G. reports are good, some so brief as to be nothing more than what can be found in general enrollment publications. They charge (as of last year) $5/ per name. ____________________________________________________________ THOMSON Descendents of Cornelius Tomson/Thomson/Thompson of Manalapan Township, Monmouth County, NJ, by Elizabeth Makin Thompson. Could you tell me if the above book has any references to the family of Samuel Thomson who died in 1787? Or to Samuel Thomson himself? Also, can you tell me who published the book in case I might want to purchase it for my library? RESPONSE: The author of the Thompson book did confirm what I had suspected: there was more than one Thompson family in early Mon. Her book deals solely with the family of the elusive Cornelius of whom very little was written. Your Samuel may come from one of the other families. I went through the index and looked up every Samuel there: not one matches yours. I went into Stillwell's, "Historical and Genealogical Miscellany," and came up with one item that may be pertinent to your Samuel: "HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL MISCELLANY" By John Stillwell, M.D. Vol. I, p168 "Christ Church Baptisms" 1747, Sept. 27. Mary, daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth Thompson was baptized, aged 2 years and 2 months. The Thompson descendants book is apparently no longer available--all copies sold. This on the word of a man who just tried to buy a copy from the author, as it holds many of his family. ____________________________________________________________ THOMSON/BATES/DECKER I am hoping to find information about a Thomson who married Agnes ? (she d. 1760, Middletown) ca. 1810. They had children: Sarah (m. Hendrick Hendrickson, Jr.), Phebe, Agnes (m. Richard Bates 1745) and possibly Ann (m. 1) Richard Watson 2) 1741-William Brown) Would also like to know if Thomas Thomson who was minister at Christ Church Shrewsbury in the mid-1700's is in Cornelius' line. If so, who was Thomas's wife? I would like to know whether your book on the genealogy of early residents of Monmouth County includes any information on: Agnes Thomson (d. 1760 Middletown) I would like to know her parentage, and her husband's first name. (Thomson is her married name) Her children were: Sarah (m. Hendrick Hendrickson,Jr), Phebe, Agnes(m. Richard Bates 1745) and possibly Ann (m. 1-Richard Watson, 2-William Brown 1741) The Thomas Thomson who was minister of Christ Church, Shrewsbury, NJ in the mid 1700's. Andrew Baits(Bates) d. before 1733. Father of Richard Bates (see below) Richard Bates (approx. 1720- 1790) married Agnes Thomson 1745. Their children were all baptized at Christ Church Shrewsbury, but no Bates are buried there. They lived in Freehold. Where did this family go? Anything about the marriage of Catherine Bates to Joseph Decker of Staten Island in 1788. RESPONSE: "HISTORY OF MONMOUTH COUNTY, NEW JERSEY" by Franklin Ellis pg. 413 The Rev. Thomas Thompson left a fellowship at Cambridge to become a missionary to America, arriving in Middletown in 1745. He preached at Christ Ch., Middletown for six years, after which he went to Sierra Leone, Africa to serve as a missionary there. He is, therefore, probably not a descendant of Cornelius Thompson. I could find no information on any family. Agnes Thomson & husband: I can only get a partial on her husband's name. "HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL MISCELLANY," by John Stillwell, M.D. Vol. II pg. 310--Brick Church Church Yard, Near Marlboro, NJ "Agnes, wife of H___ Seomla Thomson died Jany, ___ Anno Domini 1750-60, aged 51, 6, 3, {Much Worn} None of the Thomsons you mentioned appear in the book on the descendants of Cornelius Thompson. Since you had neither the father's given name or the mother's surname, the search was done using the index to look for the children and the children's spouses--none appear in the book. I did find one entry in "Bible Records from the Monmouth County Historical Assoc.," Vol. II, C where the name Agnes came into play. It is: "BIBLE RECORDS FROM THE MONMOUTH COUNTY HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION, VOL. II, C" Compiled and transcribed by Carol Fisher Megill pg. 314, Edmund W. Corlies m. Mary Agnes Thomson on 8/23/1871. ____________________________________________________________ THROCKMORTON/LEONARD I am looking for information on Sarah Leonard who died 5 Feb 1743/1744 in Shrewsbury, Monmouth and I believe is buried at Christ Church. I do not know who her ancestors were. I also believe her son Job Throckmorton b. 1696 Middletown, Monmouth d. Feb 1747 (don't know date) in Shrewsbury, Monmouth was buried at Christ Church and I can not find any information on his wife Francis Stout who he married in 1720. RESPONSE: "HISTORICAL & GENEALOGICAL MISCELLANY" By John Stillwell, M.D. Vol. V pgs. 82-83: Job Throckmorton, son of John, was born in 1650, (Sept. 30), probably in Rhode Island. He came to Middletown in 1667 and was allotted lands in the village and outlying country. "1667, Dec. 30. Job Throckmorton drew in the first division of lands in Middletown, lot No. 22, and on Dec. 31, 1667, he drew lot No. 36. "In 1670, he owned a large tract of ground, in Middletown, to which he added a grant from the Proprietors, Nov. 18, 1676, which he subsequently exchanged for land at Colt's Neck, Jan. 7 [20], 1700, owned by Nathaniel Leonard, who was joined in the deed by his wife, Susannah Leonard. Each family thereupon took permanent residence upon their newly acquired domain, and the Leonards gave to their land the name of Leonardsville. ...In 1700, when this transfer took place, Job Throckmorton was residing at Shrewsbury." "1690, Aug. 18. Job Throckmorton appointed his brother, Samuel Leonard, attorney, in re his brother, Joseph, deceased." "1705, Job Throckmorton and Sarah, his wife, of Shrewsbury, conveyed lands to Daniel Applegate." "Job Throckmorton and Sarah Leonard were married by Peter Tilton, at Middletown, Feb. 2, 1684/5." Among the witnesses there appeared the names of Henry Leonard, Samuel Leonard, John Leonard and Mary Leonard. She (Sarah Leonard) died Feb. 5, 1743/4, aged 83 yrs, 8 mo., & 6 days [born May 30, 1660], and is buried in Christ churchyard, Shrewsbury. The site is marked with a brown stone, and is surrounded by the graves of many of her descendants. Job died Aug. 20, 1709, aged 58 years, 10 mo. & 21 days and was buried in the Lippit or Taylor Burying ground, in the heart of Middletown village. He died intestate and the inventory of his estate amounted to 99 pounds, 1 pence. Sarah & Job had: John; Joseph; Job; Samuel; Rebecca; James (supposed); Mary, m. Daniel Grandin; Sarah, b. 1685, m. 1st John Powell, & 2nd Dr. William Nichols; Patience, m. Amos Grandin. Pg. 89: Job Throckmorton, son of Job, married Frances [Stout?]. footnote: Frances, the wife of Job Throckmorton, by reason of her Christian name and her residence, "may" have been a descendant of Richard, son of Richard and Penelope Stout. The burial record of Christ church, Shrewsbury, NJ says, "Mr. Job Throckmorton was buried in the church-yard Feb 24, 1747. No stone indicates, however, the location. pg. 90: 1748, July 25. Frances Throckmorton, of Freehold, wife of Job Throckmorton, deceased, renounced her right as administratrix, on her husband's estate, in favor of her eldest son John Throckmorton. She signed with a good signature. Vol. IV Pg. 320; "There was, presumably, another Frances Stout [besides the one who m. Wilbur Lippincott] who was perhaps a dau. of one of Richard and Frances Stouts sons, and hence their grand-daughter. This assumption, for such it is, rests upon the fact that there was a Francies ...., who became the wife of Job Throckmorton, of Shrewsbury, which given name, Frances, was apparently confined to the Stouts of Shrewsbury. This Job Throckmorton was the son of Job and Sarah (Leonard) Throckmorton, and also was a resident of Shrewsbury. Job and Sarah were m. 1685, and Job, their son, was born, by deduction, about 1690-95, and married, by deduction, Frances...., about 1712. If this reasoning be correct, Frances would have been born too late to have been the daughter of Richard and Frances Stout, of Shrewsbury, but would have been the issue of one of their children. Vol. III Pg. 177; Alice Cox, dau. of James, by wife Ann, was born 5/30/1696; m. Joseph, son of Job and Sarah (Leonard) Throckmorton, who was born Aug. 4, 1693. Pg. 316; Jonathan Holmes, son of Jonathan, born 1682; d. 12/26/1766; m. 2nd Rebecca, daughter of Job and Sarah (Leonard) Throckmorton.; buried at Topanemus. Rebecca died, Nov. 10, 1761, aged 70, 9, 0. ____________________________________________________________ TUCKER, JOHN Does the Stillwell book have any info on the Tucker family: John Tucker born abt 1770?

John Tucker is mentioned in the will of Jonas Hall, of Shrewsbury, and is made residuary legatee and executor. 1692, Nov. 2. John Tucker is named as one of those bounding property that was confirmed to Gavine Drummond, on Poplar Swamp Brook. The Tucker family, of Dartmouth, has in its possession a paper given by Patience, the daughter of Abraham and Mary (Slocum) Tucker, and wife of Thomas Woolley, 20, that reads as follows: "Shrosbury ye 10th 11m. 1710. I acknowlidg that I have Resived that twenty pound Legese that my father gave me: by my Unkel John Tucker. I say Resived by me. PATIENCE WOOLLEY Amos White hannah This receipt may have been the basis for the statement that has been made that 'Nathaniel Slocum, brother-in-law of John Tucker, is the progenitor of the Slocum family in this [Monmouth] county." But whether the assertion was founded on it or not, it forms a material aid in disclosing the relationship between the Tucker and Slocum families, and, taken in connection with the signatures of witnesses on the Shrewsbury Quaker Records, indicates, with sufficient certainty for it to he relied upon, that Abraham Tucker, brother to the above mentioned John Tucker, married, Oct. 30, 1679, Mary, daughter of Giles and Joan Slocum; and that their sister, Hannah Tucker, married Nathaniel Slocum, a son of the same Giles and Joan Slocum.
