Tallents followed with ‘Some few Considerations upon S. G.'s Large Answer to the Short History,’ &c., London, 1706, and Grascome rejoined in ‘Schism triumphant, or a Rejoinder to a Reply,’ &c., London, 1707. A manuscript journal of Tallents's travels was in the possession of Job Orton, and then was owned by the Rev. John Brickdale Blakeway in 1825, who used it in compiling the History of Shrewsbury. Family Tallents was four times married: in 1654 to Anne (died 1658), daughter of Gervase Lomax; in 1661 to Martha (died 1663), daughter of Thomas Clive of Walford, near Baschurch, Shropshire; in 1673, when she was aged 40, to Mrs. Mary Greenhill (died 1685), widow of William Greenhill, of Harrow-on-the-Hill, Middlesex. in 1688 to his fourth wife Elizabeth, who was buried at St. Mary's on 11 March 1702. By his first wife only had he issue—a son, Hildersham, who only lived two weeks in 1655, and another son Francis, born on 7 September 1656, admitted to Magdalene College, Cambridge, in 1672, graduated thence B.A. 1675, M.A. 1679. He became chaplain to Sir D. Gauden, the sheriff of London, was acquainted with Samuel Pepys, and died in early life. Francis Hutchinson was the son of his sister Mary. Tallents directed his historical studies, and employed him (about 1680) in taking the manuscript of his View of Universal History to Edward Stillingfleet, William Beveridge, and Richard Kidder, for their corrections before it was printed.
