His parents married in 1837.

They moved to Michigan around 1840.[1]" He stayed in New York

IT Appears that young teenager, John, was sent to an Uncle to live..........97.5 miles away from Wyoming, New York.

However, Lyman had moved the rest of the family to Michigan, maybe John was old enough to make up his own mind..............

Sally, probably would NOT have had a baby, 3 years in a row?????????

Research Notes

NOTE: He was born in the same county, Wyoming, New York as his friend/neighbor Frank Gardner.........WONDER if they came out together? or were friends in Wyoming, New York?

Even the history magazine is looking...........

THE 1850 CENSUS, John would only be 13 years old and he is not listed with Lyman/Polly in Michigan?

"Looking for any Descendants of the Tallman family of the Town of Orangeville. Interested in the John Tallman (born April 25, 1837/38) lineage. His parents were Lyman Tallman (born 1810) and Polly Maxon (born 1820)"

Sources that we have that prove he was the son of Lyman Tallman/Mary Maxon: to LINK him to parents,

1. 1870 census, youngest brother Henry living with him, and
2. his middle name on his pension card, mom's maiden name...............MANXAN
3. his other brother Jonathan H. "J.H. Tallman, killed by Indians" buried in the Parker Cemetery.
