Christopher Tillman, Jr.

The time of his arrival in Virginia is listed in Greer's "Early Emigrants to Virginia," and in "Patents of Virginia," as 9 May 1635. In the "Visitation of Kent," it is recorded that Christopher Tilghman came into possession of Rhodes Court, formerly owned by Thomas Bealde, and that Christopher, in turn, sold this estate to one Thomas Carter. Rhodes Court is described as being a Manor situated in the southeast extremity of the Parish of Selling, in the borough of Rhodes. Selling was parish on the south, or opposite side, of the London Road.

For those who used the old Christopher Tillman lineage to connect to Magna Charta barons and Charlemagne, that lineage has been disproven. HOWEVER, it looks like his wife, Ruth Blount, leads back to numerous knights and Charlemagne.
