Josiah Holly Tillett, Sr.,
s/o Thomas R. Tillett and Mary "Polly" Johnson, was born April
18, 1829 & died Sept. 15, 1881. He married Levina A.
Baum/Harris on January 13, 1858 in Currituck Co. Levina, born May
15, 1846 & died Dec. 8, 1880, often went by
the surname of Harris. Her father has been speculated as a Baum
(possibly Jacob) and her mother was a Harris. Levina generally went by
Harris. By the time Josiah had married Levina in 1858 he already had
two children by a previous relationship with Sarah Cooper. These two
children were: Lucinda Jackson (who took her surname from her
step-father, Pete Jackson) who was born April 8, 1852 and died May 1,
1900; and Thomas T. Tillett who was born June 23, 1857 and died April
27, 1893. It is believed that neither Lucinda nor Thomas T. ever
married. Josiah Holly Tillett, Sr. and Levina Baum/Harris had a dozen
children. Below are links to photographs of some of these 12 children.
