William Oliver Tallent was also my grandfather! The other daughter you spoke of who married a "deSilva" was my grandmother! Her name was Nellie Mae Elizabeth Tallent and she married Leonard Francis Sylvia on Jan 19, 1920. Claude Tallent married a Margaret (unknown) and produced a son known only to us as "snookums". He divorced and moved to New Orleans, La and married Marion (unknown) and produced a son, Ronald Troy Tallent. Claude died in Mar 1989. William Oliver Tallent married Caldonia Clayton and together produced 10 children. Vivian Tallent ran a jewelry store in Alabama and he was killed execution style while in the store. A show was aired about this on Unsolved Mysteries sometime around 1993-1995. Two of my aunts were watching the show and both verified the story. One of the aunts passed away in 1995 so it aired a year or so before her death. There was also a son named Beverly Tallent. This is all the information I have on this side iof my family. World Family Tree volume 10 Tree 4053 has more info on the Tallents. Please keep in touch with anything you may find in the line of research.
Thanks,
Janice
