About Benjamin Tallman (Revolutionary war veteran)

Note: HISTORY: In about 1779, the Tallman family moved from Berks County, Pennsylvania south to the county of Augusta, Virginia, which later became Rockingham County. They settled on Smith's Creek near the town of Harrisonburg. Their homestead at the foot of the Massanutten Mountain was adjoining that of the John Lincoln family who were close kin of the Tallmans. This John Lincoln being the great-grandfather of President Abraham Lincoln, was brother of Anne Lincoln Tallman. William and Anne Lincoln Tallman were parents of Benjamin (1745-1820), the Revolutionary soldier who married Dinah Boone. Benjamin Tallman, having served in the Pennsylvania Militia in 1777, reenlisted as a private from Virginia on March 27, 1782 and served in the Fourth Troop of the first Partisan Legion under Col. Charles Armand, Marquise De La Rouerie. The Fourth Troop was commanded by Capt. Claudius De Bert. (Ref: Pa. Archives, Series 3, Vol 3, page 152: Series 5, Vol. 3, p. 864 Continental Line, Fifth Pa. Jan 1, 1777-Jan 1, 1783). Benjamin and Dinah Tallman joined the Linville Creek Baptist Church near Harrisonburg, Virginia. In 1797, Benjamin was a delegate at a meeting in Loudoun County, of the Ketrockton Baptist Association when a plan was made for gradual emancipation of slaves. About 1810, Benjamin and Dinah removed to Fairfield County, Ohio with others of their family. Their Ohio homestead was near Canal Winchester.



Benjamin Tallman's wife, Dinah Boone was the first cousin of Daniel Boone.
