Whittier's Poem -- Hugh Tallant

Hi there,

In Whittier's poem titled "The Sycamores", a man named Hugh Tallant is mentioned.

***THE SYCAMORES***
Green memorials of the gleeman!
Linking still the river-shores,
With their shadows cast by sunset,
Stand Hugh Tallant's Sycamores!

All the pastoral lanes so grassy
Now are Traffic's dusty streets;
From the village, grown a city,
Fast the rural grace retreats.

But, still green, and tall, and stately,
On the river's winding shores,
Stand the Occidental plane-trees,
Stand Hugh Tallant's sycamores.
=========

Does anyone have information on this Hugh Tallant? I believe he's from Co. Carlow Ireland and settled in Canterbury, New Hampshire... not sure though.

Thanks in Advance for your help!

Margaret
