1123About 1779, the Tallman family moved from Berks County, PA south to the county of Augusta, Virginia, which became Rockingham County. They settled on Smith's Creek near the town of Harrisonburg. Their homesteadat 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,Marquiss De La Rouerie. The Fourth Troop was commanded by Captain Claudius De Bert. Benjamin and Diah Tallman joined the Linville CreekBaptist Church near Harrisonburt, Virginia. In 1797, Benjamin was adelegate at a meeting in Louden 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 withother of their family. Their Ohio homestead was near Canal Winchester. They are buried in the family cemetery on the farm of their eldest son, William in Walnut Two., Pickaway County, Ohio.
The following is a description of the natural resources of the Ohio farmof Benjamin Tallman, written during the 1940's by Elmer W Tallman, grandson of John Tallman Jr. "The 160 acres on which three generations of Tallman lived was in Fairfield County and lay square with the world, the western edge touching the old boundary of Franklin County, Highways 33 runs from Columbus in the southeasterly direction. One half mile fromCanal Winchester, the highway cuts the southwest corner just enough toplace the southwest corner post on the south side of the highway. Thisland is now in Franklin county because of a later survey".
"Tallman Genealogical Record: by Virgil Burdette Tallman: "PickawayCounty was formed later from territory "Picked away" from Franklin,Fairfield and Ross Counties. Original records of the early Tallmans arefound in Fairfield and Ross Counties at Lancaster and Chillicote".
In later years the grandson of Benjamin and Dinah, Nathaniel, bought 30 acres adjoining the Benjamin Tallman farm on the west. In 1878, Nathaniel sold 13 acres of this 30 to a cemetery association. This 13acres is the present Union Grove Cemetery.
Nathaniel Tallman reserved a strip of ground in the NE corner of the 13acres for a Tallman Reservation. This included a burial ground known asthe Hughes burial ground. Later, the cemetery took over this Hughesburial ground leaving the Tallman Reservation as it is today.
Nathaniel Tallman also deeded to the Cemetery Association a roadway alongthe east side of the cemetery and leading to the highway. This roadway,of course, had to run along the west line of the original BenjaminTallman farm. It will be noted that the cemetery occupies the summit ofa ridge that runs in an east-westerly direction and extends over into theoriginal Benjamin Tallman farm. The highest point on the farm would be apoint on this ridge at the cemetery east line.
It was here that Benjamin and Dinah were buried and their graves markedwith the small sandstone slabs bearing only the inscription, "B.T." and "D.T." The above mentioned roadway passed directly over these graves. As before noted, at this time, the Tallman graves were moved except Benjamin and Dinah, whose remains and also their crude markers were moved about 13 miles due south to a Tallman burial ground on the farm of theireldest son, William.
