On the Talbotts... According to Catherine Hart Frame's book Harts of Randolph (Talbotts & Harts were connected) Also glad to see someone has the Proudfoot line more complete! These all are puzzles that never end! I see a few additions to your records: Pg 346 of Frame's book shows: Margaret Elizabeth CAPITO & Edward Stephens TALBOTT'S 11 (eleven) children as: 1. LEWIS CREED TALBOTT b. 1843 m. Susan Johnson 3 ch. 2. DANIEL B. TALBOTT b. 1845 m. Elizabeth Jane Wiseman 10 ch. 3. JERUSHA M. TALBOTT b. 1845 d 1874 m. Jacob Spotswood Thacker 1865.. 4 ch 4.

CHARLES DOWDEN TALBOTT 1866 -1949 m.LOUVENIA M. CORLEY 5 ch. Katherine Hart Frame has her sources listed which I have omitted. As you can see, there are many children and much more information about each of these families. That would be good for another writing. It might be easier on all to do one family at a time. What do you think? There were other Elam Dowden Talbotts which makes this family "mixed up".. Frame's book pg 116: Lucy Lee BOSWORTH 1868-1956 m.
