  1. Did these Tillmans make it to Richland Parish Louisiana? I am at a loss to find where mine came from. My ggrandmother was Nancy Ann Tillman born about 1841.

  2. When I saw this name, I immediately wondered if the family’s distant roots were in Maryland. Tillman is a shortened spelling of the name Tilghman (same pronunciation). There is a Tilghman Island in MD, and google Tench Tilghman for a bio of a famous family member. I have also seen Plummer spelling like this (two M’s) in MD many times as well.

  3. I just found a $20 bill sporting the birthday serial numbers of 18490125. That’s the birthday of the fellow featured in the article above. Anyone interested in my note?
