  1. I've been doing research on Irving D. Tillman and Roxa V Hahn. I found the home of his parents in Bainbridge while I was on a trip back there. It is a beautiful brick home still very much in use. It has taken awhile, but I have quite a bit of history of this Tillman Family James Tillman married Lovisa Sherwood. I have been researching the Sherwood for a long time.

    Thanks for posting.

    Regards,
