220. (Mary) Catherine Tilghman (Tilman) (Tillman) (Married George Loy (#219) about 1770 in Orange County, North Carolina; another source says about 1768 in Bucks County, Penn.

Born: about 1744 in Somerset County, Maryland; another source says about 1747, 1752 in Orange County, N.C. of John Tilghman (Tillman) (#439) & Mary Elizabeth ___ or Eva Dryden (#440) .The identification of Catherine's mother is confusing. From the Loy Family Website, "The only clue we have as to Catherine's parentage is that her daughter Margaret Ann (Loy) Clapp and Margaret's son Benjamin Clapp stated in the Mormon baptism for the dead proxy that Margaret was daughter of George and Catherine Loy, and that Margaret's grandmother was Mary Elizabeth Tillman." This website also states, "Tobias Tillman was son of John and Eva (Dryden) Tillman and Tobias' daughter (Phoebe) married her first cousin (Jacob), son of George and Catherine." [In order for Catherine and Tobias to have had the same father (John), but different mothers (Mary Elizabeth ? and Eva Dryden), John must have been married twice... or... there were two John Tillmans.] Other sites on ancestry.com say Catherine's mother was Eva Dryden. [If John and Eva are her mother and father and they were married 1749 in Dobbs, North Carolna as some ancestry.com sources say, then Catherine's birthdate would have been after that date... probably closer to 1752].

Died: 1833 (about 1830) in Loyston, Anderson, Tennessee; circa 1810 in Tennessee or Alabama. (The preceeding blue information is from Loy Family Website )

c) Margaret Tillman: (Married: Henry Loy [George Loy #219's brother]) Born: ?, Died: ?] (Source of the green information is "My Hutchcraft/Hendron Fernley Family Website the blue is Loy Family Website ).
