The History of Ford county, Vol II, Page 867 states that John Talbot was born June 28, 1851 one of two sons born to William and Mary Ogden Talbot. The other son, Thomas, was born in 1853. Also that Mary died when John was four years old. The boys were cared for by an aunt part of the time and put in an orphanage the rest of the time. No other records to date have been found. There have been some family records that state there was a half brother named Robert Talbot who may have lived in Indiana.

"Gottlieb Hahn was my great, great grandfather. His son Conrad (brother to Wm. pictured) was my great grandfather. Next came Mable Hahn my grandmother who married James Trimble my grandfather. The Hahns came from Germany and prospered in agriculture in Illinois. The state honored Gottlieb with master farmer award in 1880-90s. Not many Hahn descendants are left in Ford county today, as all 9 children moved out of the area except my grandparents . . . "
