War [Son of Josiah Talmadge and Phoebe/Phebe/Pheobe Dibble. he was baptised by the Rev. Hunting of Easthampton, Long Island, May 1, 1737. On March 15, 1759, he married Sybil Todd, daughter of Stephen Todd, Warham Williams, the Town Clerk of Branford, officiating. They resided at Branford for a while, but later went to Cheshire, where Sybil died at the age of thirty-six, on April 23, 1778, and Josiah six years later in 1784. Public records of New York and Connecticut States prove that several of Josiah's younger brothers took part in the Revolution. Of Josiah we have simply the one incident related by his sister Sally, to Henry Talmadge on August 12, 1846, which Mr. Talmadge recorded at the time. "When the news came to Branford that the British had landed at New Haven Josiah Talmage, my great grandfather, immediately mounted his horse, took his gun and powder and ball and provisions, and started for New Haven, and met them in Mark Lane. He fought till they got his horse from him and then he fought till he recovered his horse and the British retreated to their ships. He fired at them from behind a post or stump and the post stood for several years with the bullet holes in it that were shot at him. He returned home in safety after being absent three or four days." A reference to any history of the taking of New Haven by the British, will show that this was a typical instance of the fight. The country rose up to resist the British, every man acting independently, as his own general. Josiah was probably deterred from taking a more active part in the war as he had three or four children all under six years, and most Revolutionary soldiers were much younger men than he. His oldest son Samuel, was also a soldier of the Revolution. Josiah was a farmer and a cooper, and his children were: 1. Samuel, born at Branford, Feb. 2, 1760. 2. Josiah, born at Wallingford (Cheshire now), June 5, 1763. 3. Amzi, born at Cheshire, Feb. 8, 1770. 4. Stephen Todd, born at Wallingford, Feb. 15, 1775. 5. Sybil.]
