The Talbot Regime: Or the First Half Century of the Talbot Settlement (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from The Talbot Regime: Or the First Half Century of the Talbot Settlement
I have deemed it neither necessary nor fitting to refer in the text to certain reports given wide currency in Canada regarding the parentage of Colonel Talbot, such as that in the Scottish Canadian a year or two since, wherein it was suggested that he was of royal blood-a son of George III. - through a morganatic marriage, and presumably adopted into the Talbot family. While most improbable on their face, I have found no evidence to support such tales and have therefore passed them over. When mentioned to the present Lord Talbot de Malahide, he said there was not a word of truth in them and he considered them unworthy of notice.
To mention all those to whom I am indebted for information and kind assistance would be almost impossible, but special acknowledgments are due to Judge Macbeth of London, Ontario, and Mr. James H. Coyne of St. Thomas for giving me access to the Talbot papers and correspondence and to the latter for use of his valuable library of Canadian books as well, to Mr. E. H. Tiffany of Alexandria for copies of and extracts from the Colonial Advocate and to Lord Talbot de Malahide for permitting the use of his family crest to adorn the title page and cover, as well as for information afforded me.
