Matthias B. Tallmadge correspondence and papers, 1800-1850.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/58780411

Correspondence, 1800-1850, of Tallmadge and members of his family, and legal papers, mostly 1805-1811, pertaining to causes heard before Tallmadge as judge of the Southern District of New York. There are a large number of letters exchanged by Tallmadge and his wife, Elizabeth, the daughter of Governor George Clinton and Cornelia Tappen Clinton. Many were written from Charleston (South Carolina), Savannah and Augusta (Georgia), and Fayetteville, North Carolina, during 1811-1818. Others whose letters appear more or less frequently include: George Clinton; Theodorus Bailey; Tallmadge's father, James Tallmadge and his brother, James Tallmadge, Jr., both of Poughkeepsie; his sons, Charles W. Tallmadge, Theodore Bailey Tallmadge, and George Clinton Tallmadge (including some written while he was a student at Union College); his brother-in-law, the Rev. Stephen Gano, of Providence (R.I.); Stephen Gano's daughters Clarissa Ann Gano and Sally S. Gano; Laura Tallmadge, Ann Tallmadge, and Nathaniel P. Tallmadge; E.A. Rodman, writing to Elizabeth Tallmadge from St. Augustine (Florida), 1822-1824; Anthony Lamb; Joseph Coutant; and Charlotte Horton Rowe, who wrote from India in 1816 about her work as a missionary there; members of the Tappen and Sudam families. They are primarily family letters, dealing with personal matters, but there are many pertaining to such matters as sales of land, elections, politics, appointments, banks, personal financial matters, and litigation. Some papers deal with the family's Baptist faith; one document, written by Susan Wright, a slave of Elizabeth Tallmadge, describes her profession of faith in the Baptist church and her baptism, as well as giving some information about her family history. The legal papers related to Tallmadge's work as judge of the Southern District of New York contain affidavits, depositions, pleas, minutes, briefs, notices, opinions, charges to juries, and other miscellaneous papers. Many items relate to the trial of Samuel G. Ogden, who was charged with providing and fitting out a vessel, arms, and equipment for General Francisco de Miranda, preparatory to an expedition against Caracas, Venezuela, in 1806. Some others relate to: U.S. vs. Aquila Giles, Nicholas Fish, and Matthew Clarkson; and to William Jackson, et al., vs. ship Frederick.
