Sarah Tilson: Strong McLemore Ancestry

Generation: 1

Notes:

James W. Bramhall posted " I found grave sites for my eighth great grandparents in the Pilgrims Cemetary Plymouth, MA on both sides. I also found Sarah Tillson's grave site. The grave sites are #444, #445 & #453. I also have found a tax record for George Bramhall in Dover, MA "1650" much earlier than the 1680 time frame reported in the "Bramhalls in America" book. I have also found lineage from the Mayflower through Sarah Tillson's mother who is buried next to Sarah. On her grave stone, it indicated that she was the only daughter of Col. Tom Doty. Tom Doty is a direct decendant of Edward Doty of the Mayflower."

FindAGrave has an iamge of the tombstone, but it is very difficult to read. They note it is inscribed "In her 25th year. "Relict" to Capt. Joseph Bramhall. However, that website instead shows her as a daughter of Edmund TILSON and Elizabeth COOPER, for whom there are also memorials. Her siblings are shows as Hannah Tilson CHANDLER, Perez TILSON, and Elizabeth Tilson RANDALL.

Joseph was a sea captain, his wife is buried in the old Plymouth cemetary between her niece and sister-in-law. Perez was her brother. Also near, is Joseph's Parents Joshua and Sarah Ryder Bramhall. Joseph and Sarah Tilson Bramhall had three children. Joseph's wife Sarah died three years after him in Jan. 26, 1754. Have not been able to determine who rasied the children. Joseph, their second son, took his family to Meredith, NY and opened an inn on the Catskill Turnpike. I am a decendent of that second Joseph.
