About John Talbot
This is most likely the John Talbot of Portsmouth, Virginia, who received US Patent No. 48 on October 11, 1836, for a turnout for railroads (a mechanism for changing the direction of rail tracks). The merchant John Talbot had business ties to local railroads, increasing the likelihood of the inventor being the same individual.
