Levin Tilmon of Delaware, 1853

Levin Tilmon was born a slave but later became free and was indentured as an apprentice. He describes vividly hardships of both slaves and free blacks in his narrative published in 1853.

I am not related to this family, just passing on this information, which comes from a webpage called "Black Americans in Delaware" The link for the site is listed below.

Lettice Tillman / Tilman / Tilghman / Tilmon - South Carolina

2004-01-30 15:31:10Z

Need help identifying the family of a Lettice Tillman / Tilman / Tilghman / Tilmon (or other various spellings), b. abt. 1757 in either VA or SC who I think is my GGG-Grandmother. She is believed to have married James Rosamond who was born in Augusta County, VA about 1754. James Rosamond's family moved to the Old Ninety Six District in SC between 1765-1767 at which time Lettice Tillman would have been only about 10 years old, so it is probable that she and her husband met and married in South Carolina. Children from this marriage were Mary Rosamond (never married), Nathaniel Jones Rosamond, Rev. Thomas A. Rosamond, Benjamin Rosamond and Samuel E. Rosamond. Thomas, Benjamin and Samuel Rosamond all moved to central Mississippi in the middle-1800s. I have estimated James Rosamond and Lettice Tillman's marriage date to be about 1778 as their first child (Mary Rosamond) is believed to have been born about 1880. Their last child, Samuel E. Rosamond, was born about 1792 in South Carolina, and Lettice Tillman Rosamond appears to have died about that time as a short time later James Rosamond remarried to a Mary Doherty.

Any information anyone can provide on Lettice Tillman will be greatly appreciated.
