INDEX

[1140] John was baptised at Henlow, England; he died 1620/21 during the first winter at Plymouth; came on the Mayflower with wife Joan Hurst, also of Henlow. See "The American Genealogist," 52:202; "Mayflower Society Quarterly," 56:118. For more information on this family, see http://members.aol.com/calebj/passenger.html (7/2001) and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Tilley_(Pilgrim). See Caroline Lewis Kardell, "An English Line from John Tilley", Mayflower Quarterly, 65 (August 1999):208-209. Some have asserted that John had a second wife, as"Saints and Strangers," George F. Willison (New York: Reynal & Hitchcock), 1945, p. 90 , which describes local residents who joined the Leyden congregation of Separatists including "Bridget van der Velde, who in 1615 married John Tilley from London, silk maker." "The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England, 1620-1633"( Boston: NEHGS, 1995, Vol. 2, p. 1822 reports "John Tilley joined the expedition of 6 December 1620 along the coast with nine others, under the leadership of Miles Standish." See also "Plymouth Colony: Its History and People, 1620-1691)," Eugene Aubrey Stratton (Ancestry Publishing, Provo, UT, 1986), p. 362. His younger brother, Edward, died in the first sickness. "Mayflower," Nathaniel Philbrick (NY: Viking, 2006 - ISBN 0-670-03760-5) provides a fine history of the Plymouth Colony.

[44482] The unverified Smith Family Tree in Ancestry.com in 2018 offers: “When Daniel Troutman was born on October 23, 1817, in Lykens, Pennsylvania, his father, Peter, was 27 and his mother, Elizabeth, was 28. He married Elizabeth Bush in 1839. They had 15 children in 26 years. He died on November 14, 1880, in his hometown at the age of 63 . . . “ "The New Bloomfield Times [New Bloomfield, Pennsylvania], 23 November 1880," p. 4: "About three miles from Uniontown [now Pillow] in the upper end of the county, and four miles from Gratz, across the Mahantongo mountains, resides the family of Daniel Troutman, a highly respectable and well-to-do farmer. He was considered a man of substance, and it was generally known that he had been appointed executor of the Bush estate, (a farm adjoining his own,) and, having had a sale, was known to have a considerable sum of money about the house - probably $1,050 to $1,100. On Sunday night, soon after dusk, Mr. Troutman and his wife went to bed the oldest children having gone to a singing school held in a school house in the vicinity. Hardly had the old people closed their eyes, before their slumbers were disturbed by the presence of two men at their bedside, armed with loaded revolvers, which were levelled uncomfortably close to their faces. Mr. Troutman, says the wife, partially raised himself In bed and Inquired, 'What is wanted?' One of the villains coolly replied: 'We want money,' at the same time placing the pistol barrel close to Mr. Troutman's face. The terrified old farmer replied, 'I have no money.' The burglar retorted sharply, 'you have and if you don't hand it over, we'll murder you.' Mr. Troutman denied that he had money In his possession, but the bold burglar persisted that be knew better, and told Mr. Troutman that he was the administrator of the Bush estate, and that he (the burglar) knew that he had 'got money over there, and that he would have to give it up.' The farmer then said he desired to get up and go to an outhouse, but the villains objected to this move. The old man, however, got out of bed, walked towards a window without being molested. Over the top of this window, rested a double-barreled shot gun, which was loaded. He made a motion as If to raise the window, but instead, seized the gun and turned towards the burglars who fled from the house. Mr. Troutman followed them, one going round the south corner, and the other an opposite direction. He followed the villain who turned the left corner, and shot at him. When returning to come back, to enter the house, he met the other villlan, running fairly up against the revolver's muzzle. The burglar fired, the ball from his revolver striking the breast of Mr. Troutman, and entering a vital part, caused his death In half an hour afterward. Mr. Troutman uttered a cry and fell to the ground. The burglar like a beast at bay, stood all this time glaring savagely at his victim. Mrs. Troutman hearing the second shot, ran out of the house screaming 'murder.' She ran as fast as possible to Mr. George Geise's, a neighbor, and gave the alarm. The Geise family went back to the Troutman house, with Mrs. Troutman, and found her husband weltering in gore, where he fell after having been shot by the burglar. He questioned the dying man, who replied: 'Henry Rumberger shot me.' Troutman repeated these words until death ensued about half an hour after the shot was fired. 'Squire Loudenslanger at once issued a warrant for the arrest of Henry Rumberger and placed it In the hands of officer David Willlard, of Uniontown. A party consisting of Messrs. Benjamin Dickey, D.J. Snyder, John Weiser, Joseph Troutman, Daniel Shaeffer and Charles Messner, citizens of Uniontown accompanied the constable, and search was made till far into the night without success. Early yesterday morning as the party was returning home to Uniontown, and when quite near that place, they met Rumberger, the alleged murderer, on horseback, coming down the road, apparently quite unconcerned. He was taken to Uniontown, and subsequently placed in Jail. The escaped burglar is described by Mrs. Troutman as being a tall, spare man, and officers are now on his track. On his way to Harrlsburg, in an unguarded moment, Rumberger made use of several expressions which tend to show that he is anxious to 'squeal,' in order to mitigate the serious offence of which he stands charged."
