Tillett, Durant [Durant Tillett, who has a broken tombstone in another Tillett Cemetery in Nags Head Woods, was born Mar. 1, 1806 and died Feb. 7, 1831.]		1831	Edenton Gazette & Farmer's Palladium (February 10, 1831) The schr. Gen. Jackson, Capt. Durant Tillett, arrived at this port one day last week from Charleston, S.C.; the Captain in a day or two became indisposed and took lodgings at Mrs. Gardner's Tavern and called in one of our most respectable physicians who, on the second or third day, pronounced it a decided case of Small Pox. Measures were immediately taken by the Commissioners of the town to prevent any intercourse with the house and on Monday night last, Capt. Tillett died and was buried the following day. Every precaution was used that experience could suggest, and with such effect as in our opinion to prevent the possibility of a spread of the disease, and in this opinion we are sustained by the attending physician.
