General Notes

posted by Eleanor Talbott Brundick to Talbott genforum:
According to the Armistead Family History, Richard Talbott - who came to MD in 1649 - was the son of Sir Robert Talbott, the 2nd Baron of Carlton Co. in Kildare and Grace Calvert. Grace Calvert was the daughter of Sir George Calvert, 1st Baron Baltimore. According to the Armistead material, Richard Talbott was next in line to become Earl of Shrewsbury, however because of his loyalty to King Charles, his estates were confiscated by the Cromwell Party and he came to Maryland by invitation of Governor Stone in 1649. He settled in MD at the same time period as Sir William Talbott and Colonel George Talbott - all relatives of Lord Baltimore. Sir Robert Talbott's nephew became Earl of Shrewsbury. In 1649 Richard received a patent from the proprietary government of the province for a tract of land known as Timber Neck. In 1655 he married Elizabeth Ewen. In 1656 he bought Poplar Knowle, a plantation on West River, Anne Arundel Co. He died about 1662.
