Tench Tilghman
Tench Tilghman (, December 25, 1744 – April 18, 1786) was an officer in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary war. He served as an aide de camp to General George Washington, achieving the rank of lieutenant colonel.
Tilghman rose to become a trusted member of Washington's staff. The historic events of the time sparked his transformation from a privileged family member of Loyalists to a dedicated Patriot. He paid a high price, facing tragedies including a split with Loyalist members of his family, and illness and an early death from disease contracted during the American Revolutionary War.
==Early life==
Tench Tilghman was born on December 25, 1744 at "Fausley," a plantation owned by his father, James Tilghman, located on Fausley Creek, a branch of the Miles River, in Talbot County, Maryland, a few miles from the town of Easton.〔Talbot County Free Library. "Tench Tilghman." Talbot County Free Library. N.p., n.d. Web. 11 Mar. 2012. .〕 Tench’s great grandfather was Richard Tilghman, a British Navy surgeon who was born in Kent County, England. In 1661, he moved his family to Talbot County, Maryland, settling in an area along the Tred Avon River. Within a short time, Richard moved to the "Hermitage," located on the Chester River, then in Kent County, but today in Queen Anne's County.〔http://www.marylandtheseventhstate.com/article1010.html〕 Richard’s son (and Tench's grandfather), James Tilghman, was a distinguished gentleman lawyer and important Marylander in his time. Tench Tilghman's father James was the Attorney General of Pennsylvania.
Tilghman graduated from the College of Philadelphia (now the University of Pennsylvania) with an A.B. degree in 1761. One of his first jobs was to negotiate with the Six Nations on behalf of the British and their American colonists.〔About Famous People, Tench Tilghman by John T.
