In their meeting last Tuesday, Council honored two prominent historical figures, both of whom were Talbot County natives. Frederick Douglass, born into slavery in 1818 in Talbot County, was known to have had the most powerful impact on the American abolitionist movement. His life spanned the Civil War, the end of slavery, and the beginning of segregation. Colonel Tench Tilghman was born in Talbot County in 1744 and served as General George Washington’s Aide-De-Camp and personal secretary for seven years from 1776-1783. On October 19, 1781, Tilghman was entrusted to carry the official word of Lord Cornwall’s surrender in Yorktown, Virginia to the Continental Congress in Philadelphia. To learn more about the impact of both individuals, residents are encouraged to visit the Talbot County Free Library, and follow the Frederick Douglass Honor Society and the Col. Tench Tilghman Chapter MD Sons of American Revolution.
