George Talbot was appointed Surveyor-General of Maryland in 1683. In the aftermath of the [[Irish Rebellion of 1641]], James Talbot's estate in Ballyconnell was confiscated in the Cromwellian [[Act for the Settlement of Ireland 1652]] because he was a Catholic and he was granted an estate in 1655 at Castle Rubey, [[County Roscommon]] instead.
