Pleasant Nelson "Ned" Tillman Hardin & McNairy County TN

jopashj — 2015-11-13 00:48:31Z

Ned Tillman (b 1862 TN) married Emma Wicker. Two of their sons, George W. Tillman and Nelson Jasper Tillman married Jordan sisters, Ivene and Irene. I am trying to trace George W. Tillman. It seems he and Ivene moved into Arkansas then to Texas. They had a son listed as Add (Ed?) Lee or just Lee in census records. He married Clara Rause in Aransas County, TX in 1945. I have no idea what happened to George or Ivene Tillman or to Add Lee and Clara. I can't find any death or cemetery records. Is anyone familiar with this family? Thanks!

Re: Joshua "Belitha" Tilghman/Tillman, NC (1762-1808): the genealogy is wrong

Chrisfortson1895 — 2015-06-25 18:50:41Z

Hello,
My name is Christopher Charles Tillman. Jeremiah was my GGGG Grandfather. He is buried at the Hopewell Baptist Church In Colquitt Co. GA. I stood over the grave. The head stone states that he was born Nov.16 1776 and died Dec.14 1855. Then it was known as Lowndes Co. The is a book hand written in a library In Moultrie GA. That has been added to over the years. You have put a wrench in my research. The book says he was born in Chatham Co. NC. That's where I started looking for his father. Which from a few searches on the Internet was said to be Joshua Tilghman. I'm now lost. If you have any new information please respond here.
Thank you

Tillman/Tilghman Virginia/Madison County, Ohio

JMSSM2015 — 2015-04-11 16:52:55Z

Putting this out there again. My ancestor was Henry Tillman (sometimes Tilghman) b. about 1805 Virginia. He married in 1825 Elizabeth Thomas in Jefferson Co. Virginia (now West Virginia) They moved to Madison County, Ohio probably in 1830's and Henry died in 1854.
Henry had a sister named Elizabeth who was b. about 1807 and married Leonard Thomas in 1825 in Jefferson, Va and that family moved to Madison Co. Ohio as well. There is also a 2nd possible sister Eveline Tillman who married Jacob Thomas. I believe Eveline was born about 1813-1815 in Virginia and lived in Madison Co. Ohio.

Elizabeth Tillman Thomas has her parents listed as being born in Virginia. When she died her parents were listed as David/Daniel Tillman and Polly Coleman but haven't found further evidence of this. I found an item on an Eveline Tilman in an 1824 paper and this girl was 9 years old, about the right age. This was Loudoun Co. Virginia but again, no further information was found on Eveline or her parents.

If there is anyone that might have any information on this Tillman family please contact me. Thanks!

Hello,

I've recently found out that my Dad (Jack Lane) was adopted within the Tillman Family by Oscar Lane and Barbara Mae Tillman. His real grandparents are Ollie Tillman and Tommy Lee Creel. He was born out of wedlock by one of their daughters (Mildred, Lucille, or Lillie). Any help would be great in finding his real birth mother.

rstarr190 — 2014-09-23 10:45:40Z

Hello Helen,

I emailed you at the address you supplied but got no response, so am contacting you here. My question is this:

In your 15 July 2014 posting, you state that you are a descendent of James Perry (1737-1806) and Ann BAKER of Kershaw Co, SC. I am also a descendent of this couple, and have researched them for many years. I have never seen the maiden name BAKER given for James's wife Ann (or any other maiden name), so I am very eager to know your source. It would be wonderful to be able to document her maiden name.

Also, do you know where your Kirkland line lived (state and county) before they moved to Kershaw Co, SC?

Thanks in advance,
Rebecca

Tillman/Tillman Family - Fluvanna/Albemarle Counties, VA

diane2756 — 2014-09-06 14:16:04Z

Is anyone still actively researching the Tillman/Tillman families who lived in Fluvanna and Albemarle counties in Virginia...specifically, Thomas and Daniel Tilman and their off-spring? They are connected to many other surnnames in the same area and in the various states where many of them removed. I have some new information that I think may resolve some outstanding questions.

Joshua "Belitha" Tilghman of NC didn't really exist

oldnyc — 2013-07-17 07:09:21Z

There was no such person as “Joshua Belitha Tilghman”. As best as I can surmise this was a name (and an elaborate story) made up by someone desirous of attaching the Revolutionary War service record of another individual to Joshua Tilghman of Chatham County, North Carolina. The facts show that Joshua Tilghman of Chatham County, North Carolina and the Belitha Tilghman of Dobbs/Lenoir County, North Carolina were actually two separate individuals.

The Story that’s printed in The record and genealogy of the (Tilghman-Tillman-Tilman-Tilmon) family, 1225-1938 : compiled from an original mss. by James D. Tillman and repeated in countless family trees and websites as “fact” goes as follows:

“Several years ago one of Joshua Tillman’s descendants, then living in Missouri, wrote that she had letters written by Shadrick Tillman (Joshua’s brother) to her grandfather in which Shadrick had described Joshua as being 6 feet 4, red hair and with a temper to match and that he had a hair lip. His inability to pronounce words lead to his name being listed on Army records as “Belitha” instead of Joshua. This caused some confusion in getting his claim to land approved but it was finally settled alright”.

I’m a descendant of Jeremiah Tillman (b. 1777 in NC, d. abt. 1853 in GA.). Many researchers have claimed that Joshua “Belitha” Tilghman was his father. This has been proven false (more on that in another post). I ran across the tale above when I was attempting to make sense of Jeremiah’s reported parentage. When I first read it I thought it was highly suspect. It’s hard to see how anyone can get “Belitha” from “Joshua”, regardless of their speech impediment. In addition, men of this time and place served in units mostly made up of their neighbors and relatives and lived in small, very close-knit communities. Even if you couldn’t pronounce or write your own name, there would have been dozens of fellow soldiers present in your company that had known you all your life and surely could. Making this even more ridiculous is the fact that half a dozen or more close relatives served in the same units and several family members were officers in the local militia. This would include the man incorrectly reported to be his father, Stephen Holland Tilghman (actually a cousin of the real Belitha). Another cousin was a militia colonel and an uncle was a State Representative. The family had been in the same area of North Carolina for decades and was well known. The officers who included his name on their company rolls knew this man, knew his name and they listed it correctly. His name was Belitha, not Joshua. They didn’t hear it wrong and they wrote it down correctly.

The story about the land office doesn’t hold up either. There’s no indication that the real Belitha Tilghman had his land grant held up and the authorities that issued those grants on a local level would have also been familiar with this man and his family.

I’ve also thoroughly combed through records to try to locate the “Shadrick Tillman”, the alleged brother of Joshua Tilghman who was supposedly the origin of the story above. Joshua Tilghman had a son named Shadrick but I can find no evidence of the existence of a brother by that name.

It gets worse. Another part of the story contains a tale about Joshua Tilghman marrying two sisters: first Patsy Taylor and, after her death, her sister Chloe. A different Joshua Tilghman (son of Stephen H. Tilghman of Craven County, NC.) married Chloe Taylor. I documented this in detail in a previous post. If this is proven to be incorrect then how was it "passed down" as a family story?

The Real Belitha Tilghman

“Belitha” Tilghman (or Tillman) was actually William Elisha Tilghman of Dobbs County. “Belitha” would have been pronounced like “bill-ish-ah”. It came from taking Bill, the nickname for William, and combing it with his middle name Elisha to form a compound nickname. The “Belitha” spelling was most often recorded (the “itha” sound like that of “militia”). However, “Belisha” is the spelling used for his reenlistment record in the rolls of the 2nd North Carolina Battalion. There’s no mistaking a “t” for and “s” so it’s clear that the record-taker was attempting to phonetically spell a name he heard as “Bill-ish-ah”. The Tilghman family William Elisha Tilghman was a member of came to North Carolina from Somerset Maryland. In the Somerset records there’s at least one other example I found of someone using the compound nickname “Belitha” in Somerset records of that era. The use was rare but it wasn’t unique.

The name Belitha Tilghman also appears elsewhere. Belitha is listed on the Dobbs County militia rolls during the Regulator uprising in 1771. He’s also named in a 1787 Dobbs County land record that states that he was a neighbor of Benjamin Coleman on Southwest Creek. This was an area populated by several Tilghman/Tillman families. One of those families was that of a William Tillman who lived a short distance away and may have been a slightly older cousin, hence the need to separate the names of the two Williams. This other William also served in the same company of the 2nd North Carolina Regiment during the Revolution.

Bottom line: Belitha Tillman (William Elisha Tilghman) was a real person, not a mispronounced mistake. He served at least three years as a Continental line soldier during some of the most intense and trying periods of the Revolutionary War and he deserves to be recognized for that. If your reading this and used the information above in your own family records, I hope there's enough here to warrant a correction. The wrong information has been floating around for too long.

Re: Tillman Family - Albany NY

phkelley — 2013-07-11 02:26:37Z

Lani - The Elizabeth Tillman you are talking about may be the sister of the William Tillman I mention. I believe, but have no proof, that my ancestor (possibly the daughter of William) was named after her. My ancestor was Elizabeth Trowbridge Tillman, and was born about 20 or 25 years after the Elizabeth you reference. Other children of William and Charity Tillman were baptized with Elizabeth and Luther Trowbridge as the sponsors/godparents. One of these days, I will prove up the link!

Re: Tillman Family - Albany NY

lanilila — 2013-06-30 23:10:33Z

You may have already found the info you were looking for , though, I just did a google search for an Elizabeth Tillman, who lived in NY in the late 1700's. I didn't find any info on google except your query here. I read in a family book that she was the daughter of Major Christopher Tillman and married Luther Trowbridge, a cousin of my 5th great grandmother, Mary Trowbridge Snow. The family book is a biography of my 3rd gr grandfather, Erastus F. Snow, written by my great grandmother's sister, Theresa Snow Hill. It is a historical novel, based on letters and documents collected over hundreds of years. It sounds like she was a notable person, and the name sounded familiar, thus my search.

Cheers, from CA!

Are you kin to Tillman's around Franklin Parish, or had relatives in Concordia Parish? I was told we are kin to the Tillman's in Tillman's Corner.

Hello My first husband's grandfather was first cousin to Wolf and we came to know them very well, visiting them 2 times in Alderney and 2 other times in Europe. They visited us in the US 4 times. We have lots of family geneology on his family. Awesome people. M Hofstad
