Biography[edit | edit source]
Benjamin was born in New York in 1754 and later moved to Connecticut at some point before the American Revolution.[1] Despite his father, Benjamin Tallmadge, Sr., having been a Colonial Assassin, Benjamin chose not to join the Brotherhood, saying that he hoped to have a family someday and that living in two worlds was not ideal. However, he did help the Order as much as he could, and maintained correspondence with the Colonial Assassins' Mentor, Achilles Davenport.[2]
When he discovered that the Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton had uncovered a plot to kill George Washington, he helped him gather evidence by leading him to a group belonging to a counterfeiting ring orchestrated and led by Thomas Hickey in their acts of printing false paper money. As they were passing by a market, a seller yelled at one man for using counterfeit money, whom Ratonhnhaké:ton chose to tail.[2]
After both Ratonhnhaké:ton and Hickey were arrested and imprisoned, Benjamin ensured that Hickey would remain in Bridewell Prison by using his position in the government to publicly accuse Hickey of the assassination plot. The following investigation worked as planned, but Hickey was ultimately pardoned.[3] A few days later, Benjamin stood beside Israel Putnam as the general ordered the Patriots to stand down after Ratonhnhaké:ton had stopped Hickey from killing Washington. However, the Assassin chose to depart for Philadelphia, stating that Hickey did not act alone.[4]
After the war, Benjamin returned to Connecticut, where he became a merchant and politician. He was elected to the House of Representatives in 1801.[1]
