I am related to the Thomas Tatman b.1770 in Allegany County, MD Married Margret House, then their son Isiah Tatman b.Oct 18, 1814, married to Clarissa Moore, then their son, William Thomas Tatman b. Mar. 23, 1839 in Hocking County OH. Married Nancy Turner and that's where my Great Grandmother comes into the picture. Martha Jane born around 1872,I've been told that she wasn't their biological daughter, they raised her along with their other nine children. She was a Native American Indian, she would never tell the story of how she ended up with the Tatmans, she didn't want to discuss it at all. So I have been researching, trying to find out how she ended up in this family and what tribe she was from. I have found a Malinda Tatman who is thought to be 3/4-1/2 Native American Indian, she was married to Joseph Strohl Jan 23, 1870. She is the daughter of James Tatman and Elizabeth Wolford. Her sister, Matilda married Joseph Strohl's brother, George Westley Strohl. Martha Jane Tatman worked for my Great Grandfather, George W. Appleman, as a housekeeper and care taker for his two children by his first marriage. He later asked her to marry him, she agreed and they had the following children, Roy, Willard, Brian, Linsey and my Grandmother, Iva Belle. If anyone has any information on this family mystery, I would be so happy. Thank you, Kathy
