In 2024, I posted an expanded timeline of the life of Revolutionary War soldier Tobias Tillman’s life. This month, the Tillman family will have another deep divelook at Tobias Tillman and an Elizabeth Tillman, who may or may not have existed.

Thanks to FamilySearch’s full-text search, I’ve been able to added another half dozen entries to Tobias’s timeline.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t help to identify Tobias’s parents.
