John
Talby, Jr., son of John
Talby and Dorothy (-?-) died after 1657 and was characterized by
Rose Taulbee as a "wastrel," a description for which she laid no
foundation but which seems substantiated by the following from Perley's
History of Salem Massachusetts:
| John
Talbey, Dec 24, 1655, was to be put out as a servant to Robert Morgan or some other man for
one year, at the expense of the town. Jan 29, 1655-6, Henry Cooke agreed to take him for a
year, the town to supply him shirts, cloth to make a coat, covering for
a bed and some things to make a bed, Cooke to have eight bushels of
Indian corn. Aug. 4, 1656, the selectmen "Ordered that John
Talbey being commonly noted for a person spending his time idly and
unprofitably: we think it meet that he should be sent to the next
magistrate to be employed accordingly (provided for such
persons)." Aug 22, 1657, the town voted that George Corwin and Jacob Barney appear at the Ipswich
court to inform it of John Talbe, and advise about putting him
in the house of correction at Ipswich. Lawrence
Southwick was paid twenty shillings for keeping Talbey and
seventeen shillings for things laid out for him. |
