Joseph TALCOTT [1] |
- "The Talcott Pedigree": Gov. Joseph Talcott is first mentioned in public life as one of a committee to lay out the town of Coventry, in 1711. He was the fourth son, but the eldest who survived his father.
He was the first Governor of Connecticut, born within its limits and occupied the chair, from 1724 to Oct 11, 1741, a period of 17 years, longer than any who succeeded him and longer than any of his predecessors, except Gov. Winthrop. His funeral expenses, amounting to L69 12s. 5d., were ordered paid out of the Colonial Treasury. The second son of the Governor, Joseph, was Treasurer of the Colony, from 1755 to 1769.
"His wife, Eunice, died suddenly about noon on Thursday, May 25, 1738. There could be no session of the general assembly without the presence of the Governor or Deputy Governor, the latter was absent attending the commissioner's Court, at Norwich, and public business was pressing. Gov. Talcott did not suffer his private grief to interfere with his official duty, but returned and presided in the upper house in the afternoon.
A joint committee of both houses was appointed to confer on what might be proper to offer to his Honor on the sudden and painful event. The House also appointed the Speaker, the Clerk and Capt. Samuel Willard to draw an address of condolence to present to the Governor." [1]
