Biographical History
James Tilghman, the son of Richard Tilghman and Anna Maria Lloyd, was born at his family's estate in Maryland on December 6, 1716. He practiced law in Annapolis, Maryland, before moving to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1760. He married Anne Francis, daughter of Pennsylvania Secretary of State Tench Francis, on September 30, 1743, and they had ten children: Tench (1744-1786), Richard (1746-1786), James (1748-1809), Anna Maria (1750-1817), Elizabeth (b. 1754), William (1756-1827), Mary (1758-1789), Philemon (1760-1797), Henrietta Maria (b. 1763), and Thomas Ringgold (1765-1789).
In the 1760s and early 1770s, Tilghman was secretary of Pennsylvania Land Office, a member of the Philadelphia City Council, and a member of the Pennsylvania Provincial Council. He was arrested as a Loyalist during the Revolution and lived on parole in Charlestown, Maryland, from 1777 to 1778. He then returned to Philadelphia, where he lived until his death on August 24, 1793.
