Matthias B. Tallmadge

[2] Among his siblings was James Tallmadge Jr., who later served as a member of the United States House of Representatives and Lieutenant Governor of New York.

[3] Tallmadge studied law with Ambrose Spencer, was admitted to the bar, and entered private practice in Herkimer, New York until 1805.

[4] Investigators later determined that while they might have been guilty of lax supervision, particularly Van Ness, since Tallmadge had been absent from court because of an extended illness, they were not involved in the theft and were not responsible for Rudd's actions.

[6] The committee determined in February 1819 that Tallmadge had not always held court for the northern district on the dates required by law, but that this was not an impeachable offense.

[2] They were the parents of eight children:[2] George Clinton; James S.; Charles William; Cornelia; Theodore Bailey; Rebecca; Mary E.; and Elizabeth.
