T Sturtevant of Richmond, Maine, who over a long period of years took much enjoyment in collecting material relating to the life of his great-grandfather, Honorable Peleg Tallman, and in compiling genealo­ gies of the ancestors and descendants of that progenitor and his brother, Captain Holder Tallman. One fruit of his labors was an appreciative and comprehensive sketch, "Peleg Tallman, Sailor of the Revolution, Master Mariner, and Member of Congress," read before the Maine Historical Society March 3 I, 1899, and, slightly abridged, published subsequently in the "Collections" of the Society, and also issued in pam­ phlet form. After the death of Mr. Sturtevant practically all of his papers, including a wealth of source material-letters, old and modem, and other documents, ancient newspapers, newspaper fragments and clip­ pings, and a miscellaneous assortment of data-were turned over to Frank G. Tallman of Wilmington, Delaware, another great-grandson of the Revolutionary hero. Mr. Sturtevant was an efficient, painstaking and indefatigable biographer and genealogist, and his writings, including two nearly completed genealogies, are of great value. At the direction of Mr. Tallman, who placed all the material at my disposal, I have expanded the biography of Peleg Tallman beyond its original limits, and brought the genealogy of his descendants down to the present. To these I have added other biographies and genealogical compilations dealing with the lineage of Mr. Tallman, based on my own study and research. In this work I have had the enthusiastic co­ operation of Mr. Tallman, and also the kindly assistance of many of the Tallman kindred, and of many old friends and new, who have been most generous in supplying information. Limitations of space forbid in­ dividual mention of all, but particular acknowledgment should be made to Mrs. Thomas Tileston Baldwin of Cambridge, Massachusetts, Mrs. Randall J. Condon of Friendship, Maine, Mrs. W. I. Voorhees of Bath, Maine, Frederick G. Fassett of Boston, Robert J. Lilley of Wilmington, Dela'\vare, and Gerald G. Wilder, Librarian of Bowdoin College, whose unflagging interest has kept me apprised of much material not otherwise obtainable. Credit also is due to Charles Scribner's Sons, publishers, for permission to reproduce extracts from Stimson's "My United States." To all who have generously aided in any way, on behalf of Mr. Tallman and myself, I extend sincere thanks; and I wish also to express to Mr. Tallman and his daughter, Mrs. Thomas W. Miller, my very keen ap­ preciation of their numerous courtesies during the progress of this work. WILLIAM M. EMERY. HONORABLE PELEG TALLMAN N the afternoon of June 2, 1780, the American frigate O Trumbull and the British ship Watt engaged in one of the most obstinate and deadly sea fights of the Revolutionary War. When the commander of the two after guns. of the Yankee vessel fell wounded, Peleg Tallman, a hardy youth of sixteen, was assigned by Lieutenant Starr as gun captain, and bore himself with courage and fidelity throughout the action. He, too, was seriously wounded, his left arm being shot away at the shoulder, and but for his splendid physique, he might have peri.shed. Surviving the ordeal for more than threescore years, by sheer force of ability and indomitable energy he over­ came handicaps, and. as shipmaster, shipbuilder and shipping merchant at Bath, real estate operator and bank president, attained wealth and honors, and at his death in 1841 was ac­ counted the richest man in his adopted State of Maine. Born early in the reign of King George III he lived under the admin­ istrations of nine Presidents of the United States, and as a Member of Congress had his share in the government of the nation for whose independence he fought so sturdily. The valiant Tallman was a native of Rhode Island, where his forebears had lived for more than a century. They were forthright, enterprising men, a strongly reproductive clan, for the most part farmers. Some of them had held official positions in the colonial era. Some had fought in the wars with the Indians. Peleg Tallman was of the fifth generation in descent from Peter Tallman, a native of Hamburg, Germany, who settled at Portsmouth on the Island of Rhode Island. His mother was a descendant of George Soule, who came in the May fl,ower. * Peleg was born in Tiverton, lying across the Seaconnet River from Portsmouth, on July 24, l 7 64, the son of Peleg and Sarah (Soule) Tallman. The Biblical prrenomen borne by father and son was long a favorite among pious * See Ancestry of Tallman and Soule Families, post. 2 TALLMAN GENEALOGY families in that section.* Peleg Tallman, Sr., was a ship car­ penter, upon whom, it is feared, the responsibilities of the care of five children fell but lightly. Some time between I 766 and r 77 r the family removed to Providence, Rhode Island, where the mother died in r 77 2, when the boy Peleg was but eight years of age. Subsequently the father remarried and family tradition is to the effect that at the age of twelve the son was left to shift for himself. It is not surprising that the venturesome lad decided to go to sea, and he shipped on a privateer. His experiences during the Revolution can best be told by extracts from a letter written by him in November, 1840, to an old shipmate. This human document has been preserved through publication in an article, "Recollections of the Early Life of an Aged Sailor," by one Andrew G. Smith, appearing in the Peoples' Advocate of New London, Connecticut, in April, r 84 r. Captain Tallman wrote: "The first time I went to sea I sailed out of your port or city [New London] in the sloop Beaver, privateer, commanded by Capt. Havens, which vessel I think you must have known. I was on board of her about four months. "\Ve cruised in the Sound, off Long Island, both sides, and occasionally off New York, and made many captures of moderate value. I next went in the privateer Rover, Capt. vVm. Dennis; we were taken by the Reasonable, 64.t I was retained in the prize and carried to Halifax. The prize master, who was an under-Lieutenant in the British Navy, took me on board the man-of-war with him. After some months he was turned over on board a frigate, went to Penobscot, and took me with him; where after some time I found means to leave,t and with considerable labor and *Peleg of the Old Testament was one of the two sons of Eber. As a common noun, Peleg signified a watercourse. Eber is regarded by Biblical scholars as the eponymous ancestor of the Hebrews. t Without doubt in the ill-fated Bagaduce expedition, August 14, 1779, wrote Walter H. Sturtevant. The Rover, a privateer sloop of ten guns, was one of the American fleet, and the Reasonable was one of the British men-of-war that routed the Americans. Citation, Williamson's "History of Maine." :t: It is related he was sent ashore with a party to cut hay for the animals on board, and took the opportunity to make his escape. -W. H. S. HONORABLE PELEG TALLMAN 3 fatigue I made my way to Boston and Rhode Island.

In addition to his civil honors, he was a member of various foreign societies, the first President of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a valued friend and correspondent of Benjamin Franklin.

MAINE HISTORICAL SOCIETY PRIZE ESSAY 1977 The Smuggling Career of William King by Alan S. Taylor One of the most fascinating controversies to emerge from Maine’s role in the War of 1812 is whether William King, the leader of Maine’s Democratic-Republican party and the state’s first governor, illegally traded with the British. Throughout King’s political career, charges were hurled that many of his vessels had operated in violation of the revenue laws. These charges remained unsubstantiated rumors spread by his Federalist political opponents until 1824 when two of his estranged political proteges, Benjamin Ames and Joseph F. Wingate, Jr., anonymously published The Disclosure No. 1: Documents Relating to Violations and Evasions of the Laws During the Commercial Restrictions and Late War With Great Britain, etc., a collection of letters and depositions intended to prove that King and his good friend, Mark Langdon Hill, were indeed guilty of smuggling.
