HANNAH TALLENT

Hannah Sollars Henderson is the 5th great grandmother of Esther M. Ziock Carroll. Hannah is believed to be the sister of Seabert Sollars of Augusta County, Virginia.

1799 - After the death of her first husband, James Henderson, in 1793 in Greene County, Tennessee Hannah remarries to James Tallent (born 1770 in North Carolina) in the year 1799. The couple relocated to St. Louis, Missouri & by 1807 were residing in the Ste. Genevieve District in that part of the Missouri Territory which later became St. Francois County.

1805 - 16 May, James Talent signed petition from St. Louis to President Thomas Jefferson along with 88 others (one petitioner was John Henderson) asking that General Washington Johnston (with his skill in French and English), be appointed Recorder of Land Titles in the District of Louisiana. Territorial Papers, LouWana Missouri Territory 13/148,343. This petition is from the "Undersigned Citizens of the District of Saint Louis, in the District of Louisiana" which indicates that James [Tallent] must have been resident in St Louis at this time (also because none of the names of his later associates at Murphy's Settlement are on the list).From: Robert Sollars http://www.sollars.org

1805 - 27 Dec., James Talent signed memorial from St. Louis to the president supporting Governor,.Wilkinson who had had reports unfavorable to him circulated throughout the U.S. There were 5 texts to this memorial, one in English, four in French. The Territorial Papers prints the French text but only the subscribers to the English text. James Talent and John Henderson's names appear together as signers of the English text. Many of the signers were not literate and they made their marks. Territorial Papers, 13/343 This petition is from the "Citizens of the Territory" and though dated as from St. Louis, it is identified as "Territoire de la Louisiane." This time a number of the signers are those people associated with Murphy's Settlement--William Murphy, and Frans Murphy both signed with an X. It appears that James Talent and the Murphys actually lived in St. Louis before moving on to St. Genevieve, St. Francois and Murphy's Settlement. From: Robert Sollars http://www.sollars.org
