Adelaide (Thomason)
Talbot

Wife of Hon Isham Talbot of Kentucky

National Republican, Jan 1, 1874, page 4
Mrs Adelaide Talbot, widow of the late Senator Isham Talbot, of Kentucky, died at her residence of this city on the 25th of June, aged seventy three years.

Adelaide was 17 years of age when she married the Senator and he was 44. Isham Talbot's marriage to Adelaide, March 27, 1817, followed the death of his first wife, Margaret Garrard, in 1815. Margaret Garrard Talbot gave birth to four children: Cordelia M., Elizabeth Garrard, Juliet Mountjoy, and William Garrard. Much of the current Talbot family lore holds that all of Isham's children were the issue from his marriage to Margaret but the story that we report here disputes that and we know that there were two others, James Theodore, our subject, and a sister, Mary Louisa, a few years older than Theodore.
