Notes for TILMAN FOSTER:
There are several spellings found for Tilman's name: Tiglman, Tilghman, Tillman, and Tilmon. His signature appears to be Tilmon.
In 1830, Tilman and family lived next door to his father, William, Sr. in Rowan/Davie County, NC. They had a young female servant. With them were 3 daughters and 1 son under the age of 5. The 1840 census lists only 2 daughters born before 1830. A son and a daughter probably died before 1840. In 1850, he is listed as a farmer. He is buried in Row 8, #3, Fork Baptist Church cemetery.
