Daniel S. Tallman

     Daniel S. Tallman was born in February 1819 at Quebec.¹ He was the son of Humphrey Tallman and Sarah Alexander. Daniel S. Tallman married Delia Stringer circa 1840 at Quebec.¹ Daniel S. Tallman died after 1900.¹ He was buried at Laprairie, Quebec.
     He appeared on the census of 1851 at Hemmingford, Beauharnois Co, Quebec; Dan S. Tolman, labourer, b. Canada, C of England, 30, Delia, Roman Cath, 24, Eliza, 4, Mary, 3 and Delia, 1, and brother, John, 48.² He appeared on the census of 1861 at Hemmingford, Huntingdon Co, Quebec; "David" Tollman, 39, wife Delia, 32, Eliza, 13, Mary, 12, Florence, 9, Cyril, 8, Delia, 7, Israel, 4, and Saloma, 2. They were Roman Catholic. Obviously, this should have been Daniel's name as the head, but the census taker wrote David in error.³ The Grantee Index for Clinton County, NY [LDS film #866942] shows that Daniel Tallman was on the receiving end of a land deal in 1862 from Royal C. Moore (40-302). He appeared on the census of 14 June 1900 at Mooers, Clinton Co, New York; Daniel S. Tallman, 81, and wife Delia, 78, married 60 years. They had 6 children, with 5 living. Daniel's enumeration lists that his father was born Germany and his mother in New Hampshire. (?)¹
