"CONTINENTAL" PORK SEIZED BY LOYALISTS

Affidavit of Thomas Carter and William Hunt, Allentown, before Joseph Lawrence, Justice of the Peace, March 19, 1777
According to this complaint, a gang of about a dozen men led by Anthony Woodward, Jr., seized three wagon loads of pork from the storehouse of Isaac Rogers, Esq., in Allentown. When the deponents wanted to weigh the meat, Woodward told them it was "Continental pork and that Mr. Rogers should never have any satisfaction for it." Woodward and his first cousin Anthony, "commonly called Black Nat," were white middle class Quaker landowners who sided with the British. Woodward was convicted in 1778 for riot and sentenced to one month in jail.

Notes for James Tallman:
Hannah Swain was his 2nd wife. Some records show his name as Joseph, however genealogical records of Rhode Island state his correct name was James Tallman. Perhaps it was James Joseph Tallman. According to The Rent Book of the Parish of St. Nicholas, Hamburg, Germany, his ancestors came from Hamburg to Barbados and then to Rhode Island. He was the ninth of fourteen children of Peter Henry Tallman; was a Physician of Portsmouth, RI. He and Hannah Swain had nine children. From "Swains of Nantucket" by Robert Swain.

James married SWAIN, Hannah 14 Sep 1701, Portsmouth, Newport County, Rhode Island. Hannah (daughter of SWAIN, John and WYER, Mary) was born 5 Jul 1679, Nantucket Island, Nantucket County, Massachusetts; died 9 Sep 1765, Portsmouth, Newport County, Rhode Island; was buried 1765. [Group Sheet]
