Do you know of Tallman ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Tallman. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Tallman.<1>

Our sources for Tallman (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Tallman other than they indicate that Tallman would be found somewhere in Decatur County, Georgia.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1891 and closed  in 1894.
