Biography |
- Sarah Tilghman was the sister of Aaron Tilghman, who died testate in 1779 in Somerset Co. When Aaron wrote his 1775 will, he was the owner of land in Dobbs County, N.C. In Sarah's estate account (Som Accts Liber EB#24, p. 34, 2 Sep 1794), reference is made to money paid to Robert (Risdon?) Marshall. According to "The Tilghman Family" by Stephen Frederick Tilghman (1946), p. 256, Isaac's family settled in Dobbs County, NC in about 1774, but perhaps a different Isaac made the move. An Aaron Tillman and a George Marshall are listed sequentially in a list of North Carolina militia (Colonial Soldiers of the South by M.J. Clark, p. 641). Aaron Tillman, Michael Tillman and George Marshall were owners of adjoining land in Dobbs by 1767 (N.C. Patent Book No. 23, p. 72). Sarah's will mentioned two sons, William and Thomas Marshall and two daughters, Mary and Jean Marshall. She named her friend, Stephen Marshall, her executor.
