Father: Joshua Tallent (c.1790- ).
Mother: Carry Roper (1798- ).

Additional child:
4- Mary E. Tallent (1860-1864).

John H. Tallent probably died in 1899. His will was probated in May 1899.

The Tallent burial marker has no other visible names, so it is possible that this marker is for burials other than John H. Tallent and Matilda Wild Tallent. It is also possible that two of the small concrete markers near the burial sites for son Ervin and daughter Roxie may mark the burial locations for John and Matilda. John's will (item 4) mentions burial expenses with no specifics about burial location.
