Tarrant City Ala. was said to have been named for Felix Isham Tarrant ,but some thought should have been named for Benjamin Tarrant, one of first settlers in the area and lived there until he died. Fought at the battle of New Orleans, The Creek Indian War and the Mexican/ American War alongside his cousins, Carter, Rueben,John Richard and James. All Tarrants. Elam Tarrant was there also.
