Richard,
"Looking for children of the following TALLMAN/HARRISON marriages"
All of the female Tallmans you mentioned were daughters of Benjamin Tallman
and Dinah Boone.
This couple had 14 children. The first 5 children I only have birth dates
for. They were born in Berks, Pa. from 1766 until 1772. Then there is
Thomas Tallman born 5 July 1774 in Berks, Pa, died 5 May 1794. Child # 7
is Benjamin Tallman b. 26 May 1776 Berks, Pa d. 29 May 1776 Berks, Pa
Child #8 is Annah Tallman b 6 May 1777 , Berks, Pa d. 5 Sep
1778 , Berks, Pa
Child #9 is Annah Tallman b. 15 Dec. 1778 , Berks, Pa d. 7
Oct. 1866 , Hancock, Ohio
1. Mr. Percy ( m. bef 1796)
2. William Turner ( m. 1799)
3. she married Lewis Scothorn ( m. 4 Nov. 1800)
this is my gggggrandfather
Child #10 Ann ( Nancy) Tallman b. 20 May 1781 Harrisonburg,
Augusta, VA d. 9 Apr 1826 , Fairfield, Ohio
she married 1. John Harrison ( m. 28 Nov 1797)
2. George Tong ( m. 1818)
Child #11 Susanna Tallman b. 6 Feb 1783 Harrisonburg, Augusta, VA
d. 8 Dec 1825 , Pickaway, Ohio she married Henry Harrison
Child #12 Mary Tallman b. 2 Dec 1784 Harrisonburg, Augusta, VA
d. 20 May 1849 , Rockingham, VA she married Zebulon Harrison
I only have birth dates for children # 13 and # 14.
The source-- The Boone Family by Hazel A. Spraker, pp. 90- 91, 154: says
that "Annah Tallman ( Dinah Boone5, Benjamin 4, George 3,) born 15 Dec. 1778,
in Berks Co., Pa., died 7 Oct 1866(?) in Pickaway Co., Ohio. Married (1)
Piercy or Percy ; (2) in rockingham Co., Va., Lewis Scothorn ; (3) in Ohio,
William Turner." Her kids are listed, and the reference is "Descendants of
Thomas Durfee, of Portsmouth, R.I., " by Wm. F. Reed, Vol. II This data was
given by Mis Mary Josephine Roe of Gilbert, Ohio.
I have children listed but mostly no dates for Henry Harrison and Susanna
Tallman.
Children are: William, John, Isaac, Phebe, Termitta, Benjamin, Mary,
Benjamin, Termitta J. Harrison, Nancy Harrison, and Susannah Harrison b. 7
Nov 1825 , Pickaway, Ohio d. 16 Jan 1895.
John Harrison d. 1812 Ft. Meigs, Woods, Ohio M. 28 Nov 1797 ,
Rockingham VA
wife Ann ( Nancy) Tallman b. 20 May 1781 d. 9 april 1826 , Fairfield,
Ohio
Children:
1. Hannah Harrison b. 28 Oct. 1798 , Rockingham, VA
2. Abigail Harrison b. 12 Aug. 1800 , Rockingham, VA
3. Tallman Harrison b. 6 Jan 1803
4. Richard Harrison b. 12 Aug. 1805
5. Milton Harrison b. 9 Oct. 1807 , Rockingham, VA
6. John William Harrison b. 2 mar. 1810, Rockingham, VA
7. Phebe Harrison b. 22 Apr 1812 , Rockingham, VA
Ann ( Nancy) then married George Tong in 1818
children are:
1. George Douglass Tong b. 12 Aug. 1819 , Fairfield, Ohio
2. Margaret Tong b. 17 Sep 1821 , Fairfield, Ohio
3. Nancy TOng b. 30 Aug 1823 , Fairfield, Ohio
d. 30 sep 1823 , Fairfield, Ohio
Again, much of this information comes from the book "The Boone Family" by
H.A. Spraker
They evidently were Quakers.
I have other information on the Tallmans and Scothorns, Boones, Lincolns,
Mains, Hickmans, Prices, Turners, Thornburgs, etc.
Hope this helps.
