Parent-Proof notes for 6G GF Edward Talbott
His birth was recorded at the West River Monthly Meeting. And he was named in his father’s will and inherited several properties previously owned by his father including half of Poplar Knowle and all of Talbott’s Vineyard.
Discrepant Facts notes for 6G GF Edward Talbott
The Talbott book says this about Edward born in 1682, citing the West River Monthly Meeting:
“His elder brother died a year before he was born. Richard, son of Edward and Elizabeth Talbot of Anne Arundel County was born 6 Feb 1680. Richard Talbott son of Richard and Elizabeth Talbot departed this body 26 September 1681.”
Ida Shirk clearly got a little confused by having to deal with too many Richards and Edwards and Elizabeths. The Richard who died in 1681 was this Edward’s uncle not his older brother and, in fact, his brother Richard was mentioned in their father’s will.

My Comments notes for 6G GF Edward Talbott
Edward died at about age 36. His father Edward had died at about age 31 and his grandfather Richard may have died at a younger age than that. The early Talbotts were not what you would call hearty stock.
Not long after his death, Edward’s wife Eliza appealed to the West River Monthly Meeting saying that she and her husband had many times discussed that they were sorry they did not marry “amongst their friends” and that upon his death bed he came back to God. I guess she hoped she could get Edward reinstated among the Quakers even after his death.

Parent-Proof notes for Elizabeth (Spouse 1)
Her maiden name is not known. It seems to me, based on the fact that we know the names of all the families of the West River Monthly Meeting and that there were many intermarriages among them, that hers was a name that has already been mentioned in some context with this family. I think I would recognize her name, but it has eluded researchers.
