I have been trying to do some tracing, and I have found a phenomenon I can’t explain:
In families that have no apparent connection, there are:
Thomas Tillman Calhoun, b. 1896 Pulaski Co. KY
Charlie Tillman Calhoun, b 1906 son of James Archibald Calhoun and Mary Millie Gibson
Calhoun, m. Geneva Rees
Joseph Tillman Calhoun, b 1915, wife-Lucy Mae, born in Nevada County, Ark.
Tilllman Calhoun, b 1884 died 1976 son of Barnabas and Nancy Osborn Calhoun, married
Lissie Lewis, Mitchell/Avery Co. NC
(Rev) Geter Tillman Calhoun, married Lucinda, father of HOber Lee Calhoun, Avery County,
NC
James Tillman Calhoun, Robbinsville, NC, father of Gordon
Now, my greatgrandfather was Lewis Tillman Calhoun, b 1869, Georgia, died 1952, Rutherford
County, NC. I also have at least one uncle whose middle name was Tillman.
Whassup with the Tillman connection? Anyone?
