| Notes |
- I thought about adding a "post-em" on ancestry.com but thought it might be better to contact you by E Mail.
I am directly descended from the Tallman line which is a very interesting family but my line was in Monmouth County as opposed to Burlington where Martha & John Lawrence lived. The Burlington Tallman's are descended from John Tallman of Flushing, Queen's County New York & John Tallman was the son of Peter Tallman of Rhode Island who immigrated there in 1649.
The Tallman's in Monmouth are descended from Peter Tallman's son James so he & John were brothers. My interest in John Tallman is simply because some of his descendants & some of my James Tallman's descendants both ended up in New Jersey.
Your posting on ancestry noted a question about Peter Tallman. The Peter Tallman in Burlington County married Margaret Imley whose brothers were Joseph & John Imley of Burlington County. I have not found documentation to prove beyond a doubt Peter's parents but through a process of elimination & circumstances, he had to be Benjamin Tallman's son. Benjamin, Job, James & Joseph Tallman of Burlington County were all brothers & all sons of John Tallman of Flushing, Queens County New York. There is a good deal of documentation to prove these relationships - John Tallman left a will written in 1707, there is a 1698 Flushing census naming the household members, wills for Job, James & Joseph, deeded in Burlington dated 1727 etc. Note that John Stillwell reported in his book that Peter Tallman of Burlington County was the son of John Tallman of Flushing County New York but he was wrong. John Tallman did have a son named Peter but he never lived in Burlington County & is not the same Peter whose records appear in Burlington County. John Stillwell simply didn't have all the information to accurately trace the line. Peter Tallman of Burlington County was John Tallman's grandson, not his son. So Job Tallman would have been Peter Tallman's uncle & Martha Tallman was Peter's 1st cousin.
Job was born in 1707 in Flushing, Queens County New York. He married Sarah Scattergood in Burlington Co on 25 February 1736 (New Jersey Archives) & they had 2 daughters, Martha & Sarah. Job's will was proven 11 Jan 1758 & he mentions both daughters as well as John Lawrence. Martha was definitely born in Burlington County. - - -
