Sir Roger Copley, of Gatton, Esquire

But there IS a Tillinghast connection to the Royal Blood of Britain and a Miss Vaughn in Britain researched it. It goes through the wife of the 1st Pardon Tillinghast, the beer barrel maker,[cooper if you will].

Notice that this connection is made through Sarah Browne, the emigrant's mother. The name, Tillinghast , has not always been spelled this way. And the earliest that I have found it even in its earliest forms,[like Tyllynghrst, etc.] is about 800 AD. At a later date I will give what info I have on earlier antecedents but I never found a continual'bloodline' in this family. [Somebody! Please go to England]. Elton.
