      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.
