CAPTAIN E. S. TALBOT.—His grandfather, Ambrose Talbot, and his father, Enoch
Talbot, lived in Cumberland county, Maine, where Captain Talbot was born, in the
town of Freeport, June 12, 1834. He attended school until 1849, and then went to
sea, his father being a sea captain. During the war he had command of a steam
transport in the U. S. service, running a large portion of the time in
conjunction with the army of the Potomac. He first became master of a merchant
vessel in 1856. In 1874 he abandoned the sea, and came to Lassen county from San
Francisco. He was elected county judge in 1877 for a term of four years, but the
office was abolished January 1, 1880, by the new constitution. In the fall of
1881 he was appointed deputy by Sheriff Skaddan. He is a member of the lodge,
chapter, and commandery of Masons, and the A. O. U. W., at Susanville. June 28,
1855, Captain Talbot married Sophia Bacon of Alexandria, Va., born there in
1835. Their children are Susan J., born January 26, 1858, on ship A. H.
