Benjamin Tallmadge (11 February 1754 – 7 March 1835) was a member of the United States House of Representatives during the American Revolutionary War. He also organized the spy circle, the Culper Ring, under the orders of General George Washington in the summer of 1778, during the British occupation of New York at the height of the American Revolutionary War.
Despite his father being an Assassin, Tallmadge chose not 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.[1]
When he found that the Assassin Connor 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, which was printing false money.[1]
