Talbot had always been the foe of the rum traffic, and a prohibitionist on
principle before he was governor, and such motives of policy did not move
him. His ringing veto message was the utterance of a straight-forward
man, and became at once a most important contribution to the literature of
the temperance cause. On the other hand, when a bill enacting the ten-
hour law was presented to him for signature, the manufacturing interests
of the state. Avith which he was so intimately allied, ui-ged aiid counted
confidently upon his veto, and his approval exposed him to an active oppo-
sition. These influences united with a reaction in national politics by
AVhich the republican party lost its majority in the House of Representatives ;
and, although receiving the almost unanimous renominatiou of his party,
Mr. Talbot failed by a few votes of reelection. In 1875 he declined, though
strongly urged, to be again a candidate, and Hon. Alexander H. IJice was
chosen. He held the office three years, and in 1878 ]\[r. Talbot received
tlie unanimous nomination of the Eepublican C^onvention again for the
place. The campaign of that year took an unusual and exciting cast from
the independent candidacj' of Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, of Lowell, long a
democrat and later a republican, but oil a very full vote Mr. Talbot was
elected. His message on assuming the office again was a very practical
state paper, and significant in giving voice to the popular demand for
retrenchment in tlie public expenditures. His administration commended
itself to tlie iiopular judgment bj- its manly and business qualities, and he
would have been renominated and reelected if he had not early announced
that he would not be a candidate. Mr. Talbot has never been an office-
seeker, but office and honor liaA'e sought him as a man who could be trusted.
He has been Director and President of the Boston & Lowell llailroad;
State Director of the Boston & Albany Railroad, and the care of trust
funds has often been committed to his hands. He is a Trustee of the Clarke
Institution for Deaf Mutes at Northampton, and of the Howe School. He
is a member of the Historical Committee, under whose charge this volume
has been prepared, and has taken active and helpful interest in it.

TAY. 1. "William was granted '-a ten-acre lot or one single sliare,"
1656, November. The tirst location of a part of this grant was made 1658,
December, as follows : '"lifty and six acres" (or one-half of his upland)
•*be it more or less, his house standing upon part of the same, bounded by
ye country road on y'^ East ; by the cumons (partly East) and South; and
North, partly by ye eomons, partly by will'" ( liamberline and will'" French,
partly by lienery Jeiils. and on y* West and North-AVest partly by eomons
and partly by lienery Jeitts ; also what meadow lyeth in y*^ said land is
granted to him for one acre and a quarter, in part of his tirst division of
meadow." This plac^ was west of Bare Hill, and was near if not exactly
where Dr. Noyes lives. Mr. Tay was in Boston as early as 1643, a dis-
tiller there. lie was town clerk, 1604. As his name does not a])pear on
the garrison-list of 1675, it seems ])robable that he tied to Boston before
the iiidian" alarms of that year, and never returned, as he died there. 1 aui

care of that cemetery.
TOMPSON. 1.' Joseph was from Braintree, son of Rev. William
Tompson. pastor of the chureh there; )). 1640, May 1. His elder brother,
Williaui. a student at Harvard College with Mr. Whiting, was a few jears
missionary among tlie Pequot Indians at New London, and died early.
Mr. Tompson lived in the soutJieast part of tlie village. His house-lot is

the Dudley farm which bounded Mr. Tompson on the north. The son and
brother of ministers, his education was better than that of his neighbors ;
and he was chosen 1079-80, Jan. 19, the flrst schoolmaster in town. It was
many years before he had a successoi-. He was deacon of the church, and
succeeded Danforth as town clerk; and his fine but not very distinct

TRULL. 1. John Avas granted a six-acre lot in 1658. It is reported
that he had been previously a "tenant of Captain Gookin's farm on Shawshin
river and Vine brook, and that he had lived in the Shawshin house. His
home grant was •• sixteen acres." more or less, "lying on y<= North-East
angle of y^ Township, part of which is his house-lot. Bounded by
Golden More and Jolni Foulter on y^ South, and y* comons elsewhere

2. Samuel, perhaps a brother of John, was granted 1(561. Xov. 19
"liljerty to fall timber on ye eomons, to build himself a house and to fence
in his land, and to keep a cow or two and one or two swine upon tlie
eomons; and they do grant No further Town Priviledges at the present."
In 1664. Maich 28. "They have granted more to him: one slip of land,
lying on y^ South of his own land w^'' he purchased at the great comon
feild.to rune from y« highway (upon y^ great plaine, leading "to y^ comon
feild) Westward unto the brook, which is at y" South- West corner of that
great comon feild. whicli land is granted liim to set his house upon."
This brook is west of the Roman ('atholic church, and Trull's house was
near. In 1667 he received "priviledge upon our town eomons for y« futur,
and in all lands whicii are not yet "divided nor agreed upon for division

the town instructed the Selectmen "to build a logg-house foi- Samuel Trull'
sen., upon the land that the town hath granted unto him to improve for his
life-time ; the building to be eighteen foot long and fourteen foot wide
from outside to outside, and the Joyce to ly upon tlie plate and to be
boarded up and down, and a snuill cellar; the chimbly to be Avithin the
eighteen foot, and to se unto the tinishing thereof; and notice to be "Iven
unto persons to labour therein, and such who shall labour upon it to'liave
credit, and the cost of it to be given in to be put into the town-rate, to be
equally borne liy the mhal)itance." When he d. 1714, May 17, the town
distributed his eiffects and buried him, and, generously, as api)ears by this
charge, "paid to John Blauchard, 15s for a barrel of cider for Sam* Trull's
funeral"! They also paid 4s for two pairs of gloves, and Gs, M for his
cotlin.

"WALKER. 1. Joseph, was from Woburn, son of deacon Samuel,
whose father Richard was in 1630 one of the first settlers of liynn. He
had three brothers, Samuel, Israel, and John, whose posterity in Woburn
and elsewhere has been numerous and eminent. "26. 6'"- 67. The town of
Billerica granted to Joseph Walker liberty to be an inhabitant in their
town, in case bee can provide for his owne comfortable subsistance ; also,
the towne do declare willingness to gratify him with some convenience of
land, as they shall see meet afterward."' He lived south of John Kittredge,
beyond Bare hill. ''22. March. 1668. The towne did grant to Joseph
Walker i^riviledge upon our to^\ ne comons for the future, in all lands that
are not divided nor agreed upon for division before this day, to the
proportion of a five-acre lot, or half a single share." His first allotment
was five or six acres south of John Kittredge ; then one of four acres ;
and another of ten acres "South-East of his dwelling-house," the line of
which ran '-upon the brow of y^ hill, towards Mr. Daniel's farm, 65 pole."
His Jater grants were east of the Shawshin, and in 1699 he purchased of
Mr. Daniel the easterly part of the Church farm beyond the river, and
probably he then lived in that part of the town. Samuel Walker, who
sold part of this Church farm in 1719 to Seth Putnam, was his nephew,
and lived after in Burlington. He m. 1669, Dec. 15, Sarah, daii. of John
