REMARKS

The foregoing memoir was prepared by my venerable parent, and I will briefly add that Col. Tallmadge continued to reside in Litchfield, Connecticut, until his death, which occurred on the 7th of March, 1835; having lost my mother on the 3rd of June, 1805, leaving five sons and two daughters.

On the 3rd of May, 1808, he married the daughter of Joseph Hallett, Esq., of the city of New York, who survived him but a few years.

Col. Tallmadge, after the close of the revolution, engaged extensively in commercial pursuits in Litchfield, Connecticut, and elsewhere. In 1800, he was elected a Representative in Congress from the State of Connecticut, and was continued by successive elections as such Representative, until 1816, when he declined a further election. In 1812, he was tendered by President Madison a high and prominent command in the Northern division of the army of the United States, which he declined.
