and familiar with the land business of Lord Baltimore, Proprietary of an adjoining Province, he was asked by John Penn in 1765 to suc- ceed William Peters as Secretary of the Land office. Stipulating for a salary of 300l., besides certain fees, he accepted the position, and held it until the Revolution. He reduced the work of the Land office to a regular and equitable system, where before his time the adminis- tration could be generally charged with carelessness, favoritism, or ex- tortion. He was chosen a Common Councilman of Phila. Oct. 3, 1764. He qualified as a member of the Provincial Council Jany. 29, 1767. His chief service in this capacity was as one of the two sent to Lord Dunmore, Gov. of Virginia, to prevail upon him to join in an application to the Crown for a settlement of the boundary dispute. At the commencement of the Revolutionary struggle, his views were liberal, like those of nearly every public man. He wished a repeal of the Acts of Parliament most generally complained of ; he thought the Boston Port Bill an outrage, but condemned the " Boston Tea-Party," and when it was proposed to take up a collection for those who had suffered by opposition to the Mother Country, declared to a friend that the Bostonians should do justice before they asked charity, and should make reimbursement for the tea. As the struggle proceeded, he shared the loyalist views of his colleagues in office. On the approach of the British towards Philadelphia, he among others was placed under arrest by the authorities of the State, and gave his parole. Permission was granted him, Aug. 31, 1777, to visit his family in Maryland, and return within a month, before the end of which the British Army entered Philadelphia ; so he remained at Chestertown. On May 16, 1778, he was discharged from parole. He d. Aug. 24, 1793. He m. Xt. Ch. Sep. 30, 1743, Anne, dau. of Tench Francis of " Fausley," Talbot Co., Md., Clerk of the County Ct. 1726-1734, Atty.

The mother of Mrs. Tilghman was Eliza- beth, dau. of Foster Turbutt of Md., and m. Tench Francis Dec. 29, 1724. Mrs. Tilghman d. Phila. Dec. 18, 1771, was bu. Xt. Ch. Dec. 22.

TENCH TILGHMAN, b. at Fausley Dec. 25, 1744, son of the Coun- cillor, was educated under the direction of his grandfather Francis, and graduated at the College of Phila. in 1761. He engaged in mer- cantile business in Philadelphia with his uncle Tench Francis, and had acquired a moderate competency before the breaking out of the Revolutionary War, when, he says, "I came to a determination to share the fate of my country, and, that I might not be merely a spec- tator, I made as hasty a close as I possibly could of my commercial affairs, making it a point to collect and deposit in safe hands as much as would, when times and circumstances would permit, enable me to discharge my European debts, which were indeed all I had except about &- put into my hands by Mr. R. Senr. in trust for my youngest brother." As captain of a volunteer company, he joined the army of Washington. He served throughout the war, participat- ing in every battle in which the main army was engaged. In August, 1775, he was Secretary to the Congressional commission to treat with the Northern Indians, and is believed to have written the valuable

report to Congress of its proceedings. In 1776, he was attached to the Flying Camp, and in August of that year, became aide-de-camp to General Washington. Acting in this capacity through five years of hard service, during most of the time refusing pay, and enjoying the friendship, confidence, and gratitude of the Commander-in-Chief, he was, on May 30, 1781, commissioned Lieutenant-Colonel, to rank from April 1, 1777. He generously agreed to rank from a time sev- eral months later than his joining Washington's military family, in order not to take precedency of Alexander Hamilton and Mr. Meade, who were more contentious for recognition of their services. Tilgh- man continued with Washington until the surrender at Yorktown in the latter part of 1781, and was the messenger sent with the good news to the Congress at Philadelphia. He arrived in the City about midnight of the 23d of October, sought out the house of Mckean, the President of Congress, pounded at his door, and uttered words which, echoed by the watchman, brought the people from their beds for greater rejoicing than had been caused by any event in American history. In its congratulatory proceedings, Congress, on Oct. 29, voted a horse with the caparisons and a sword to be presented to Tilgh- man. After the disbanding of the army, Tilghman resumed com- mercial life, settling in Baltimore, and becoming the partner of the eminent Robert Morris of Phila. While so engaged, Tench Tilgh- man died, in the prime of life, April 18, 1786 ; and no less a person than the Father of his Country passed this eulogy upon him, that he " left as fair a reputation as ever belonged to a human character."
