• The Tallmans of New Jersey are represented by several branches of the name having a common ancestor in Peter Tallman, I,who settled in Newport and Portsmouth, Rhode Island, where he died in 1708. Concerning him and his immediate issue, J. 0. Austin supplies the following data: .....
• 1665. The Assembly granted him a divorce from his wife Ann.* 1665, July 24. He entered into an ante-nuptial agreement with Joan Briggs, of Taunton, agreeing to give her the land that he had bought in 1658, as also a house to be hers and the heirs born of this marriage. He also gave her a bed and half the household goods, but if she died without issue, they were to revert to his eldest son, Peter Tallman, Jr., and if he died without issue, then to the eldest daughter of Peter Tallman, Sr., Mary, and her heirs. Further, he gave to Joan, absolutely, as a free gift of donation, "three good cows and a breeding mare." 1674, June 7. He was imprisoned, but released at this date for having taken from the Indians lands by deed of gift in violation of the law of Massachusetts, he having surrendered the same.
  • * The case of Peter Tallman was tried upon petition by the Assembly. Peter Tallman applied for a divorce from his wife on the ground of adultery. The woman brought before the Assembly admitted the charge. The petition was granted at once and then the criminal, upon her own confession, was arraigned for sentence. The penalty was a fine and whippmg, and she was accordingly sentenced by the terms of the law, to pay the fine of ten pounds and to receive fifteen stripes, at Portsmouth, on the ensuing Monday, and on the following Wednesday another fifteen stripes, at Newport, and to be imprisoned till the sentence was fulfilled.
  • Upon her petition for mercy, the Court again examined her as to whether she intended to return to her husband. This she refused to do upon any terms. Her petition was denied and she was remanded for punishment.**
  • **She escaped from prison and was gone two years. Upon her return to the Colony, in May, 1667, she was arrested and petitioned the Court for mitigation of sentence. The fine and one-half of the corporal punishment were remitted, and the remainder, fifteen stripes to be inflicted at Newport, was executed.

• Peter Tallman (1623 - 1708) was originally from Hamburg, Germany. He settled first about 1647 at Barbados, where he married his first wife Ann Hill, then in 1649 relocated to Portsmouth, Rhode Island. Peter and Ann were divorced in 1665 based on alleged infidelity of Ann, producing a child by another man. Peter Tallman then married Joan Briggs in July, 1665. Our descent is from Peter and Joan's son Benjamin (1684 - 1759) and his wife Patience Durfee, via their son William, born in Rhode Island, who married Anne Lincoln and lived at Reading in Berks County, Pennsylvania. Of eleven children born to William and Anne Lincoln Tallman, only Benjamin lived to adulthood, to marry and have children of his own. Ben Tallman married Dinah Boone, daughter of Benjamin and Susannah (Liken) Boone in 1764 in Berks County.
