Mary Tallman, the wife of Dr. Stephen Tallman, was living as late as 1774, when, with her husband, she joined in making the conveyance to her son James, Apr. 2, of that year; and if the assertion is correct that she died before her husband, it must have been between this date, Apr. 2, and Aug. 24, 1774, when her husband Dr. Stephen Tallman,
19
TALLMAN OF NEW JERSEY
died. That she predeceased her husband rests entirely upon the doubtful testimony of John R. Livingston. That she died close to the time of her husband's death is likely, as no tombstone marks her burial place, which is a matter for comment and not easily understood.
Personally I haven't an atom of faith in the Mary Morgan tradition and believe that Dr. Stephen Tallman married but once and that the lady was Mary Potter, of Rhode Island.
Only three of the children of Stephen Tallman are supplied with birth dates, and it is doubtful whether the issue is chronologically arranged.

Two Soldiers came to his relief; he told them to let him alone as he had but a few minutes to live. They lifted him from the ground and were retreating with him across the orchard in the rear of the Parsonage, when a musket ball passing through the hat of one of them, he hastily abandoned his charge, & ran away.

36 JOB TALLMAN, supposed son of John Tallman, 12, if the name assigned to him be correct, was probably the son his wife was carrying, when John Tallman's will was made, in 1707, and was nearly two years of age when his father died in 1709.
In the migration of John Tallman's (12) children to Burlington County, N. J., he probably joined, for, in 1727, Job Tallman's land was named as on one of the boundaries of Benjamin Tallman's purchase of lands in Mansfield.
It was probably he who had a license to marry dated Feb. 25, 1736, Sarah, daughter of Benjamin Scattergood.
1738-9, 1740. He was Overseer of the Poor of Mansfield Township.
1755. He was Constable of Mansfield Township.
1758, Jan. 6.

Executors: Gilbert Smith and the testa- tor's two daughters.
Issue 60 Sarah Tallman married Joseph Wharton, Jr.
61 Martha Tallman married by license dated Nov. 14, 1759, John Lawrence, Esq.
1763, June 28. Joseph Warton, Jr., merchant, and ux Sarah Tallman and John Law- rence, Esq., of Burlington, and ux Martha Tallman conveyed land to Joseph Tallman, Jr., and in the deed it appears that Sarah and Martha were daughters and co-heirs of the late Job Tallman, of Mansfield. John Tallman, of Long Island, conveyed Dec. 2, 1727, to Job Tallman, then of Long Island, part of the five hundred acre Underhill tract, and Joseph Wharton and Job Tallman, in 1732, bought land jointly from Mary Andrews, which they divided Mch. 16, 1747. Job Tallman conveyed his interest by will, Jan. 6, 1758, to his daughters which they conveyed as set forth above, for £1100.
38 MARY TALLMAN, daughter of Dr. Stephen Tallman, 19, was born June 19, 1727, at Portsmouth, Rhode Island, and was living and unmarried Apr. 20, 1792, when she quit-claimed her interest in the estate of her brother Stephen Tallman, deceased, to Frances Tallman for £400, to which Stephen had title by deed from his father Dr. Stephen Tallman, and part by will of his brother John Tallman, deceased.

TALLMAN OF NEW JERSEY
1772, Apr. 3. Dr. Stephen Tallman and wife Mary conveyed to their son Stephen Tallman, Jr., for £800, seventy-five acres of land at Rumson.
1775, Apr. Io. He took a mortgage on the lands of Judah Allen, of Shrewsbury.

1775, Nov. 22. He was administrator of Daniel Halstead.
1785, He was fined for Sabbath breaking, six shillings.
1785, Jan. 22. He conveyed lands to Dr. John Johnson on the Great Road to Mon- mouth Court House, from Shrewsbury town.
1785, November. Stephen Tallman, for the sum of £2,500, conveyed to Samuel Forman and David Knott, one hundred and fifty-one acres of land on Rumson Neck, and two acres of meadow, about equal to five acres, which was conveyed to the said Stephen Tallman Apr. 3, 1772, by a deed from his father Dr. Stephen Tallman, deceased, for the sum of £800, who claimed it by deed of Joseph Stillwell and Edward Taylor, executors of Mary Seabrook, June 6, 1760.
He died, unmarried, about 1790. His burial services were conducted by the Rev. John Woodhull, the Presbyterian minister, of Freehold and Shrewsbury, at his house and at the grave in the Tallman plot. There were no hearses in those days and by reason of the long distance, his remains were carried in an open farm wagon, with four carriers at the house and four at the grave. Like all funerals about this period, his was largely attended and business in the community for many miles about suspended.
Leaving no will his estate was administered by James Tallman and Thomas Sea- brook, with a bond of £1000, dated June 21, 1790.
The inventory of his personal estate amount to £1,500, and included six negroes.
At the time administration was granted, the following representatives of Stephen Tallman renounced, viz .: Rachel Tallman, Martha Seabrook, Polly Williams, Patty Tallman and Mary Tallman, and in 1791, the Commissioners divided his lands among: Sarah Wardell, wife of John; Mary Tallman; Martha, wife of Thomas Seabrook; Joseph Tallman; James Tallman; children of Samuel Tallman, deceased, and Rachel Tallman, widow of Samuel, deceased.
Stephen Tallman had a natural daughter Ann (Nancy) Tallman, who was taken care of by her father until she married Mathias Wood,* an Englishman, who came to America at the time of the American Revolution and who served in the American Army until the close of the war. They resided at Mechanicsville, N. J., and were buried in the cemetery of that place.
From the testimony of John R. Livingston, it would appear that Stephen Tallman was a very "queer" man and severe with his slaves, not infrequently having them whipped till their backs were laid open and the blood ran freely. He was morose and exclusive. It is further said of him that he saw from his room window a woman crossing his orchard, on her way to church, who plucked apples from his heavily laden trees, rather than to lift those equally good, from the ground, which angered him to such a degree that he raised his gun, and with expert aim, cut a limb squarely off aboveher head.
He was indicted by the Monmouth Grand Jury for various offences, before whom he was accused as an "ill designing and disorderly person and of a wicked & malicious mind," and for having, on the 4th day of September, 1784, killed and destroyed a mare
*Mathias Wood was a short, thick, heavy-set man, with dark hair and complexion. Like most Englishmen, he was quite a sportsman. They had issue: Ann Wood who married Brittain, son of Montillion Woolley, and Rhoderick Wood.

belonging to Dr. John Johnson, and for also having assaulted the said Doctor Johnson. At the same session he was accused of having, July 10, 1781, sold flour, Indian corn and oats, to certain persons unknown, in order to send the same to the enemies of this state during the War. To both these charges he plead not guilty and was discharged. Su- preme Court Files, Trenton, N. y. It is interesting to note that Dr. Johnson was the friend of his late father.
40 DR. CHRISTOPHER TALLMAN, son of Dr. Stephen Tallman, 19, was probably born in Shrewsbury, N. J., and died in the fall of 1790.
1767, May I. Daniel Wainwright mortgaged to Dr. Stephen Tallman, both of Shrewsbury, certain lands.
1767, July 20. Daniel Grandin, of Freehold, N. J., mortgaged to Dr. Christopher Tallman, of Shrewsbury, certain lands.

1771, Apr. 20. Christopher Tallman, for £375, bought land at Eatontown, from Stephen and Mary Wardell, which Wardell received from his father Eliakim, in his will dated Jan. 16, 1737, who received it by deed of gift June 30, 1725, from his father Joseph, who bought the land Aug. 6, 1718, from Gabriel Steele.
Unrecorded deed in the possession of Dr. John E. Stillwell.
1776. Being a Royalist Dr. Christopher Tallman's lands were sold by the Com- mittee.
Dr. Christopher Tallman's Tory proclivities apparently made him unpopular and unsafe in Shrewsbury, for being sick and apprehensive of death, he made a will dated Shrewsbury, September 19, 1772, to which he appended a codicil August 16, 1778, when he speaks of himself as still sick, late of Shrewsbury, but now of the "narrows on Long Island." His illness was apparently not vital for he lived twelve years thereafter.
He studied medicine with his father who established him on a farm at Tinton Falls, N. J., where he practiced medicine and farming. His brother Dr. Joseph Tallman suc- ceeded to the father's practice at the homestead and the brothers became friendly rivals in the same field. On one occasion Dr. Joe extracted a tooth, which was followed by bleeding to a state of collapse, and in great fright he sent two slaves ahorse to his brother Dr. Christopher, who, from the excited blacks got the tale and laconically replied, "tell the man who pulled it to stop it." More humane feelings overcame him, however, and he arrived with the messengers, successfully applied a remedy taken from Dr. Joe's own medicine chest, put it in his pocket, and despite Dr. Joe's protests, carried it away with- out revealing its nature.
1772, Sept. 19. Will of Christopher Tallman, of Shrewsbury, Docter, sick, etc., mentioned:
to Mary Crockson £100, and to the child she is big with or supposed to be big with, £400; and provi-

sion for this child under all circumstances; to loving mother Mary Tallman, £100; to brother Stephen Tall- man, fioo; to brother Samuel Tallman, £50; to sister Mary, £so; to sister Sarah, £50; to sister Martha, £50; to brother James Tallman my blood horses; to Deborah, daughter of Elizabeth Wardell, £50; negro Jack to be set free at the age of forty years; his brothers Joseph and John Tallman, the residue of his estate; his three brothers Stephen, Joseph and John were appointed his executors.
1778, Aug. 16. Codicil to the will of Christopher Tallman, of the "narrows on Long Island," late of Shrewsbury, Doctor, sick, etc., mentioned:
to Lydia, the child born to Mary Crockson, £100 more; to a son of Mary Crockson, now four years of age, £500. Will was proved Oct. 8, 1790, when Joseph Tallman, the only surviving executor, renounced, and James Tallman qualified in his stead with a bond of £500.
Mary Crockson was the housekeeper of Dr. Christopher Tallman. He had by her a number of natural children, among them Elias Tallman,* and Lydia Tallman.
41 SARAH TALLMAN, daughter of Dr. Stephen Tallman, 19, married, first, 2mo. (Feb.) 28, 1757, Michael Cook; second, Dec. 4, 1759, David Allen; third, John Wardell, boatman, and a farmer of large means, residing at Atlanticville, N. J., by whom she had no issue. John Wardell was a Justice in Shrewsbury, and an associate judge in Mon- mouth County. He was a Tory and his property was confiscated Mch. 29, 1779. He was a friend of Capt. Richard Lippincott and testified for him in the British court martial, held in New York, June, 1782.
Wardell was in a state of everlasting indulgence and persistent repentance. While under the effects of liquor he broke his leg and no sooner cured than he repeated the drink and the accident, and these again once more. Three breaks were too many for him and he succumbed to his habits and mishaps, leaving his widow, who successfully managed her farm till old age and malignant disease of the throat, after much suffering, ended her life. Her funeral services at the house and the grave were conducted by the Rev. Samuel Budd, a Methodist minister, of Long Branch, and her remains were in- terred by the side of her husband in the Tallman burying-ground. The date of her demise is not known, but Aug. 9, 1800, administration on her estate was granted to William Sickles and Mathias Wood.
1791, June 21. John Wardell, boatman, of Shrewsbury, conveyed to Hannah But- ler, widow, of Brooklyn Ferry, N. Y., in consideration of love and affection and £160, all his interest in the estate of Stephen Tallman, deceased, which he had by virtue of his marriage to Sarah, daughter of Stephen Tallman, Sr., and mother of the said Hannah Butler, etc., etc, and all his interest in the estate of his wife's deceased brother John Tallman, as well as his interest in her deceased brother, Stephen Tallman's, estate, as well as his wife's dower interest in the estate of her late husband David Allen.
*Elias Tallman, son of Dr. Christopher Tallman, married Betsey Ruth, of Albany, N. Y., where he resided after his mother's death, who had removed thither to her relatives upon the demise of Dr. Christopher Tallman. After some years Elias Tallman received an invitation from his uncle James Tallman, to live with him. He left his wife and a child behind him, and apparently for- got that he had them, for he engaged himself to Meribah, daughter of Slocum and Susan Van Dyke, of Pumpkin Point. The neg- lected spouse, however, arrived at Shrewsbury postoffice in search of him just as his uncle James called for his mail and received notification for the first time from her of his nephew's marriage. His surprise and equanimity equalled each other, for arriving home he said, "Elias you take the horses and waggon and go up to Shrewsbury and bring down your wench and young one," (decent terms then used for women and children), "and then hustle and take care of them, or hear from me," which Elias complacently did and all dwelt at the homestead till tiring of restraint, Elias moved his family to Wolf Hill, Eatontown, N. J., where, after some years, he died, while in the employ of Edmund West, by an accident while inebriated. He was survived by his wife and four children. His widow resided with her son-in-law Jesse Cook, at Atlanticville, N. J., and died of old age. Both Elias Tallman and his wife are buried in the Potapeck (Pumpkin Point), graveyard. Issue: Maria Tallman died single; Elias Tallman moved to Albany, N. Y .; Sophrene Tallman moved to Albany, N. Y .; Deborah Mahala Tallman married May 21, 1848, Jesse Cook, a farmer of Monmouth Beach, N. J.
