    Notes 
    • Christopher Tilghman of (1459) is described in the "Visitation of Kent" as being "de Selling" which is to say that he lived in the Parish of Selling, Faversham Hundred. m. Anna Sanders (or Anna Pandreth-Sanders). English records show that Mrs. Tilghman was a direct descendant of William the Conqueror. Further research shows her as a descendant of the Whetenhall family which, in addition to being descended from William the Conqueror, also descends from King Alfred the Great of Wessex and from King David of Israel. Christopher Tilghman d. prior to 1619, for Berry in his "County Genealogies" speaks of Anna Tilghman, widow of Christopher Tilghman, in that year. Children: Isaac, John, a second John, Christopher b. circa 1600, and Mary (who m. Thomas -). In "Memories of Malling and Its Valley," there is contained a reference that Armigill and John, sons of Christopher, were baptized 23 April 1592, and that John d. 3 June 1592. (1460, Spes Alit Agricolam)

      This is what I sent on after checking some other files. I only know the
      differences in the Christopher line. Elizabeth Tillman who wrote the new
      Tillman book wrote me and mailed me a copy of the descent she believes is
      the correct one. The only way we will know for sure is if the Bible is found
      or records left from Christoper Tilghmans the immigrants descendants. I have
      learned in doing this to never believe what someone else has written verbatim
      as all books have errors. I am sure her's will be no exception.

      Thanks Dottie

      hello,

      Saw where you are still saying that Christopher Tilghman who came to this
      country in the 1600s was a child of Christopher Tilghman and Anna Sanders.
      There is a new Tillman Book out by Elizabeth Tillman that is refuting this
      line. She said that in that time frame that there were 4 known Christophers
      in England , and that Anna Sanders and Christopher never had any children of
      their own. She is saying that the immigrant Christopher was a son of
      Nicholas the brother to above Christopher and Anna. The only way to prove
      this would be to find the bible that the immigrant Tilghman brought over with
      him. If anyone knows how to get ahold of the publishing company so they can
      check with the family of Stephen F Tillman who wrote the book on the family
      and see where he got his references it may answers this question.

      If you have any ideas would love to hear them.
