Notes for Benjamin TALLMAN
The following is taken from "The Boone Family" by Hazel Atterbury Spraker and last published in 1994 by the Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc. of Philadelphia, Pa. Fifth Generation, page 90, #45:
"DINAH BOONE (Benjamin; George) born 3 or 10 May, 1749, in Berks County, Pa.; died 25 July, 1824, near Canal Winchester, Ohio. (Family record gives date of her birth as 10th of May; baptism record of St. Gabriel's Episcopal Church at Morlotton (Douglasville), Pa., gives the date of birth as 3rd of May). Baptized 6 August, 1753
Married 9 Nov. 1764, in Berks Co., Pa., Benjamin Tallman (b. 9 January, 1745 in Berks Co., Pa.; d. 4 June, 1820, near Canal Winchester, Ohio), son of William and Anne (Lincoln) Tallman.
BENJAMIN TALLMAN took the oath of Allegiance in Pennsylvania, 7 August, 1777, and served an enlistment in the Pennsylvania Militia. (Pennsylvania Archives, 3rd Series, Vol. 6, p. 314.) In 1779 they removed to Virginia, and settled in Harrisonburg, Augusta Co. (later Rockingham Co.). There Benjamin Tallman joined De Best's Troop of the First Partisan Legion under Col. Armand. (Pennsylvania Archives, 2nd Series, Vol. XI, pp. 140, 145, 146), and took part in the siege of Yorktown. His military service entitled him to bounty land, as shown by records at Richmond, Va., but it seems that he did not avail himself of his rights. About 1810 he and his wife removed to Ohiok accompanied by some of their married children, and settled near Canal Winchester in Franklin County. The grandchildren of Dinah (Boone) Tallman remembered her as always clad in the gray garb of the Friends, with a small shoulder cape of the same. She and her husband are buried in a family plot on a farm then owned by their son William and located in Walnut Township, Pickaway County, Ohio."
