From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Frelinghuysen Talmage, A.M., M.D. (March 11, 1833 – ?) was a pioneering New Jersey homeopath.
He was born near Somerville, New Jersey in 1833 to Thomas Talmage and Arietta Minthorne Clark.
He was named after his mother's brother-in-law, General John Frelinghuysen. His uncles included Samuel K. Talmage, President of Oglethorpe University.
He was raised on his father's farm, and attended the local academy. He was then tutored by his father's pastor and friend, the Reverend T. W. Chambers of New York, who lived in Somerville, New Jersey. John attended Rutgers College, New Brunswick, New Jersey, for the second term of his sophomore year, and graduated in 1852. For six months Talmage pursued his medical studies in Huntsville, Alabama and then attended a series of lectures in the medical department of the City University of New York. He later married Louise Thaine.
