General Notes: Husband - John Tallman

---

The first American ancestor of the Tallman family of Ligonier valley, Pennsylvania, was John Tallman, who came to America from Wales shortly before the Revolutionary War. He served in the Revolution, and having taken up land near Shamokin, Pennsylvania, sold it and was paid for it in Continental money, which he lost because of its depression in value. From Shamoken he removed to Franklin County and purchased property near Mercersburg. While there he operated a flouring mill, selling the flour in Baltimore, his son Isaac taking charge of the transportation and sale of the flour.
