just going to drop a little snippet from an upcoming drabble series. (Also not edited as of yet 😂)

“Out of Context” series 

"What are you doing?" Mason's tone is full of judgment and Liam finds his hackles rising before he can think better of it. "Playing Monster Hunter: Rise. I like that I can just mess around with the monsters and don't have to deal with people online if I don't want to. You've seen me play before!"

"Uh huh. But what are you doing?" Mason points to the screen where his hunter is racing along on the dog like companion. 

"Oh. That's the Palamute. It joins us on hunts. I'm riding it-"

"You named your Palamute Theo?" Mason sounds judgy and amused. 

"So?"

"So what you are telling me, is that you have been riding Theo this entire time?"

"Yeah." Liam nods, then seeing the grin Mason tries and fails to hide, thinks back on the conversation. "Mason Hewitt!" Flailing his arms, Liam squeaks as his face heats with embarrassment. Thank God Theo was out doing errands and not hearing this.

f g p r from the fanfic ask game? please?

Hey bestie 🥰 thanks so much for the ask this one took me awhile lol

G - Do you write your story from start to finish? or out of order?

i like writing things from start to finish. key word: like. my brain, however, likes to jump ahead to specific scenes and events. i used to fight that bit and force myself to forge on along and wait until i finally made it to that part in the story.

lmao that was a horrible idea. those scenes would continue to haunt me and pester me until i finally give up and wrote them. so i just stop fighting it and write out of order. (honestly it was a blessing for me to decide to make my lmk one-shot series not in chronological order bc then i’d never get it done lol

it’s why my writing can get slow sometimes because while writing the chapter for the next event, i’ll be hit with some scene 2 chapters later or 3 scenes after some confrontation i haven’t started yet!!! i have ch7 for the dr geyer fic. it’s in my docs but i haven’t finished it bc someone *looks at brain* wants to write more of s6b bc Theo’s in that one >:(

P - Are you what George RR Martine would call an “architect” or a “gardener”? (How much do you plan in advance vs letting the story unfold as you go?)

you know, i know i read of this before like years ago but i don’t remember it lol. had to look it up to make sure i was understanding this right.

so… i think it depends?

with my merlin multi-chap fic and my medieval fantasy wip i plan those in advance. the merlin fic? i have that 1st arc’s plot down, i know where the story will lead to, i even know which characters i’ll keep alive or keep dead. 

with my one-shots (and my one-shots that chose to say “fuck you”), those are a spur of the moment kind of writing. i had something playing in my head that’s wants to be free, so i write it down and pray that it’s satisfied (it typically is not which is why you see a lot of my one-shots become multi-chapters or one-shot series). these don’t have a solid plan when i begin. i tend to come up with it as the plot comes together. 

tbh this works well with my fics bc i have a base outline: the actual show/book/movie. with my dr geyer fic, i know where s5-6 begin and end. sure, i’m choosing what gets to happen in-between, but i at least have the comfort of that base. the lmk series? it’s literally just me plugging in an oc and forcing a couple characters to air-out their issues. 

R - Are there any writers (fanfic or otherwise) you consider an influence?

oh definitely. tbh my main one would have to be Lemony Snicket. fell in love with the narration of those stories. the snark, the personality, the vocabulary, the inner dialogue. idk it just did something to 9 year old me lol

another big one i’d have to say is Branden Sanderson. not really his writing, but how complex and beautiful his worlds are. i didn’t know that you could create and capture the essence such beautiful worlds in writing but reading his books and seeing them come to life really influenced my desire to write and design fantastical worlds or even just explore snippets of other worlds like BBC Merlin Albion.

F - Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it

babe, i’m so sorry but it took me forever to choose. i debated on whether i should do lmk or teen wolf or abc merlin or even shit i haven’t posted bc i love too many of these T^T

but dw i did find one (it’ll be under the cut bc this got long jfc). i giggled a lot when writing it just because the back and forth with Liam and Mason interjecting was fun. also i picked this one to prove the dr geyer fic hasn’t been forgotten. i’ve just been….preocupied and going feral over immortal monkeys

“I’m not here to start anything,” Mr. Doughlas said to them calmly. “I just want the mountain ash barrier open, mh?”

“Yeah, because this isn’t starting anything,” Liam growled.

Mr. Douglas smiled, sharp teeth in full display. Again, he twisted his claws in the chimera. Theo, again, kept quiet. The only indication he was in any being came from his winces. Liam can’t tell if he should be impressed or horrified that getting stabbed in the spine barely got a reaction out of Theo. 

“This is simply a contingency. I just want the barrier open, then I’ll be out of your hair. I promise. No funny business.”

Theo chuckled (well, more like gurgled) and snorted.

“Says the Nazi.”

Douglas drove his claws further into Theo’s spine, polite smile cracking, in response. The chimera grunted, but Theo just laughed again.

“Sorry, sorry.” Theo’s smirk looked almost deranged with the blood coating his lips. “Nazi was the insult others threw at you, right?”

“He’s a Nazi?!” Mason shrieked. 

Doughlas sighed, all politeness disappearing as he addressed them all.

“Must we obsess over my previous occupation? I don’t see how this is important. I was just a soldier there.”

“Oh yeah, being a part of a genocidal fascist group should totally be overlooked!” Liam exclaimed. “Not like you were involved in and advocated for any of that!”

“Yeah, it adds nothing for us to even slightly trust you,” Mason added.

OH!!! UNA PERSONA DE CULTURA

Wilford Warfstache hace rato que no escuchaba ese lindo nombre (⁠´⁠∩⁠｡⁠•⁠ ⁠ᵕ⁠ ⁠•⁠｡⁠∩⁠`⁠)

Honey También es un lindo!! aunque Mori me gusta más idk tiene algo que no se...

Oh!

A ti que personajes te gustan de BTD, BTD2 y TPOF?

[chilwcll]

Something defo went down.. she commenting on his MH post last week now all of a sudden this weekend she blocks him and unfollows all his mates. And it’s not like mason unfollowed cause she did she still follows him.. also she’s gone silent on social media which is so unlike her 👀

and before that she called him a loser by liking a comment. I didn’t think much of it back then but it all makes sense now she might be bipolar and going through a breakdown right now because ben and his mates don’t seem to know what they have done😂

i mean… men never know what they’ve done so that wouldn’t be a shocker

[waglifeornolife]

Anon I never believed her advocacy for mental health anyway even her posts about MH were #ad and #collab she’s so fake I knew her before Ben and Mason I knew her being so hypocritical about such stuff.

🫶🏼

[zumpietoo]

OML......where to fucking begin??? 

Dude, noooo....Beano, hilariously deactivated five seconds after I pointed out she was clearly janASS.....AND her own “insiders”. I absolutely love, as well, sniveling and whimpering about fandumb meanies to, the actual fandumb meanies, who exist entirely (by their own admittance) to lie about/seek to destroy complete strangers’ lives.....and post death threats, doxxing, etc...

Meanwhile, why yes, I believe all three of those ARE working just sooo well for PP, funny how you’re also all now announcing you have both substance abuse and MH issues, while condemning others for the exact same, huh????

The shit about PP’s sexuality is particularly hilarious because all of you, regardless of your own sexuality, want PP with a dude.....you don’t exactly conceal this....

Silly as psycho begins....

Oh myyyyy......IDK even what to say, but is this some sort of seekrit thingjammie??? And, apparently they aren’t festive pals, afterall? Hmmmm....

Also, why is kettlezerobullshit “down to chat in dms” about PP’s sexuality, anyway? I mean she can do (obviously) what she wants, but this is just weird...

Plus, again, all of you make it sooooo beyond obvious you only want Peepster with a dude.....who can improve her career. 

Ummm.....so did you, you were, in fact, downright chummy with them. Plus, “guilty pleasure”? How is it a pleasure to follow peeps insisting their lies are fact and devoting themselves to destroying other people-----EVEN if they fail? The only “pleasure” there is in how patently ridiculous they consistently are....

Because, actually? They didn’t have much, if ANY of that info, ever.....in fact, they were consistently wrong (like, you know, PP as booty call to John Mayer and Chris Evans)....and most of their posts were to hate on Cole and bodyshame/disparage other wimmin....

It appears k0b and Silly FuckLili are no longer friends, huh? 

Yess....you’re just sooooo above all this, right k0b???? Just soooooo much better....dude, you lie all over the place, as well....

Silly gettin’ grouchy (and verrryyyyy paranoid), noooow.....also, dude, your entire blog is bitchy, batshit bullshit. Not sure why now YOU’RE above this....

Hmmm....now WTF is THIS juiciness? And why am I included???? 

Also, is this saying there WAS moar to the deactivations? Inquiring minds DO wanna know!

Is that how often she comes out as your alter? 

And peeps sent her deth threats cuz her real name was Jodie Mason? That’s extra hilarious, given how it must’ve been some rapid fire deth threats, since she deactivated legit 5 seconds after I had an anon revealing her real identity. And the exact same shit happened with Beano....

Dudes, she was outed, she’s a coward....SUCK IT

Speaking of cowards, ummm.....again, so why are all you exclusively in-app then? That’s a pussy bitch move if EVER there were one. 

Your ass might be bad, Silly, but you are most assuredly NOT bad assed....

IDK even WTF this IS.....but I’m also pretty confident Silly was speaking to her reflection....

Ummm....PP is beyond thin skinned and seems to take issue with fuckin’ everything. But again, IDK even wtf this is....

And yet, again, she deactivated 5 seconds later. Plus, as I recall....YOU were the one who posted this was WHY she deactivated at the time. 

See Silly? The problem is, if you lie, you need to keep your lies consistent and straight....

From one Tilghman to the next: Tench and his descendants [Part 1]

As noted by the Maryland State Archives, this painting by Charles Wilson Peale for the Maryland State Archives, "Peale added two figures to the foreground of his composition. The first, to Washington's immediate left...The second figure Peale added is Lieutenant Colonel Tench Tilghman (1744-1786), a Marylander who served as Washington's military secretary and aide-de-camp, who is shown in profile. Tilghman's portrait was painted from life."

As we wrote about about last week on this blog, the pension for Anna Maria Tilghman, the widow of Tench Tilghman, is stock-filled with information. This post aims to dig into that information even more. Tench's military career is evident without a doubt, and was part of the focus of my poster board in 2007 for the History Day competition titled "Tench Tilghman Pays a Price for Being a Patriot," for which I only got to the state level with their theme of "Triumph & Tragedy in History." That is part of the reason I'm writing these posts to be honest, to rekindle my interest in the subject I explored all those years ago, even though I did go to the Maryland State Archives, Maryland Historical Society (MHS), Historical Society of Talbot County, and the Library of Congress. [1] Back then I wrote about how I took notes from copies of original letters and documents at the MHS, a photograph of Tench Tilghman's uniform, and that Tench came from a privileged family with sympathies toward the British crown, eventually making "sacrifices for Patriotism, facing estrangement from his family and disease contracted in battle," leading to his early death at the age of 41.

Reprinted from my History Hermann WordPress blog.

Tench during the Revolutionary War and after

As far back as May 1769, George Washington was on good terms with the Tilghman family. He wrote James Tilghman, Tench's father (who was once written about by the Maryland State Archives), that year, asking for advice in getting "Entrys of Land for me, near the Settlement of Redstone, in the Provence of Pensylvania" since he was, at the time, "anxious of obtaining some little possession in a Country that I have experienced many toils and hardships in." Then in September 1774, Washington "dined at Mr. [James] Tilghman’s" house in Talbot County, Maryland. By 1776, Tench was translating letters in French for Washington as indicated here and here. By August, he had brought a deserter to George Washington himself! In all, within Founders Online, are 78 letters from Tilghman to other individuals, sometimes Washington. As the National Park Service puts it, "at Valley Forge, almost 30% of the correspondence that came out of Washington’s headquarters was written by Tilghman." That's an amazing feat!

On March 19, 1784, Tench wrote from Baltimore,  saying that there are not any bricklayers but only carpenters, to Washington's Mt. Vernon as noted in other letters. So, he is basically a caretaker of Mt. Vernon? In a letter a few months later he added that Irish servants arrived, saying the following:

I shall attend to your direction of substituting a Stone Mason in the room of a Bricklayer, should circumstances require it—I will also make enquiry for a Stucco Worker...he must be perfect, otherwise, like a bad Painter, he will deface what he ought to decorate. I beg leave to take this opportunity of acknowledging the rect of your Excellency’s letter of the 19th of May from Philada accompanied by a Badge of the Order of the Cincinnati, of which Society I have the honor of being a Member...I therefore take pleasure in informing you that Mrs Tilghman presented me with a Daughter [Margaret] a fortnight ago [May 25], and that she and her little Charge are both perfectly well

The next letter, the following month, is in the same vein, adding that in Baltimore there is a "demand for Carpenters and Masons, that the Master Builders in those Branches who are settled here, in order to intice the new comers to give them a preference," notes about Irish coming to Baltimore to work, whom would take not take "less than the high daily Wages given to such Tradesmen here." Again, these are about those who are coming to work at Mr. Vernon, with Tench meeting with the workers themselves. He adds in another letter about Mt. Vernon's specifications: "The Door of the House to be as large as you can conveniently make it—otherwise when the Trees come to any size, the limbs are broken and the Fruit torn off in moving in and out."

By March 1785, Tench is clearly not the caretaker of Mt. Vernon anymore. Instead he writes about the daughter of "the late Capt. William Anderson of London" who is in a bad way, worries about the "the health of Mrs Washington and yourself" and adds that "Mrs Tilghman is upon a visit to her Friends upon the Eastern shore" whom he will soon join. By May, he gives even more of a story, adding that he is currently tied down by business in Baltimore:

How much you flatter me, my dear General (for by that name I must ever be allowd to call you) by your kind invitation to visit you [in Mt. Vernon]. My circumstances require a close attention to Business, and I am, on that account, cheifly confined to the limits of this Town. I often wish for a good pretence to go as far as Alexandria or George Town. Once there I should not fail to pay my Respects at Mount Vernon. If I ever find time to make a jaunt of pleasure—Mrs Tilghman will assuredly be of the party. She joins in sincerest Compliments to Mrs Washington and yourself

By August, he is talking about those on a ship called the Pallas, owned by a Mr. John O’Donnell, an Irish-born man, with the crew on the ship mostly "from the Coasts of Malabar and Coromandel, and are much of the Countenance and Complexion of your old Groom Wormely." As always, he (and his wife) wishes George and his wife Martha well. Later he recommends a man named John Rawlins to work at Mt. Vernon, describing him as a "masterly Workman" while also saying that he only has one regret, that he cannot make a visit, saying that "my Business ties me down to the Circle of Baltimore."

By October, he describes his sickness as getting to him, even as he claims he is getting better:

You will wonder at my long silence; but you will excuse me when I inform you, that your letter of the 14th of Sept. found me confined to my Bed by a most Severe nervous Fever, which kept me there near four Weeks. I am now far from being recovered, but as I can mount my Horse, I take daily Exercise, and find my Health and Strength returning by slow degrees.

His next letter is a couple months later in December, in which he writes about meeting a man named "Count Castiglioni...who, in pursuit of Botanical Knowledge, has thought it worth his while to visit this, hitherto, almost unexplored Continent" whom he recommends Washington meet. The same month he writes Washington again talking about gentlemen he has recommended to Washington, and seems to be a sort of caretaker of Mt. Vernon again, writing that "the Work to be began at Mount Vernon by the 1st or middle of April next—at farthest." In other letters he writes about sickness of some of these workers, and about his "Brother James [who] lives at Talbot Court House, the Central spot of the Eastern Shore Counties, and convenient to the State of Delaware also."

In 1786, there are four letters written by Tench to Washington. The first is on January 16, for which he talks about setting Rawlins to work on fixing up Mt. Vernon, again writing about this in March. On March 16 he again writes about his sickness:

I have been confined upwards of a Fortnight in great measure, to my bed, by the return of a Complaint in my side with which I was troubled some time ago. I recover but very slowly, but I hope that as soon as I am able to enjoy the favorable Season which is approaching I shall soon get recruited.

On March 23 he writes his last letter to Washington, in which he says that

I am still unable to leave my Chamber, tho I think I am rather better than when I wrote to you last.

On April 22, Thomas Ringgold Tilghman, Tench's brother, tells Washington about Tench's death only a few days before:

I have the most melancholy Task to perform, that was ever yet imposed upon me; that of making you acquainted with the Death of my poor Brother Tench. Painful however as it is, I thought a duty not to be dispensed with towards one for whom he had so high a Reverence & so warm an Attachment as for yourself. Not above three days before his death every symptom bade fair for a speedy Recovery, when an unexpected Change took place, which in a short time destroyed every hope. He retained his senses perfectly till within a few hours of the time that he expired, which was in the Evening of the 18th, when he went off without the least pain & even without a struggle: As it is our Wish to settle his Affairs as speedily as possible, I enclose your account, the Bale of which £54.10.4 you will be pleased to pay into the hands of Messrs Josiah Watson & Co. of Alexanda which mode of settling it, is agreable to his Intentions.

To this, Washington replies the following month with almost a eulogy:

As there were few men for whom I had a warmer friendship, or greater regard than for your Brother—Colonel Tilghman—when living; so, with much truth I can assure you, that, there a⟨re⟩ none whose death I could more sincerely have regretted. and I pray you, & his numerous friends to permit me to mingle my sorrows with theirs on this unexpected & melancholy occasion—and that they would accept my compliments of condolence on it.

That is all that can be said about Tench in Baltimore. There are letters regarding his efforts at delivering surrender papers from Yorktown to Annapolis and then the Continental Congress in 1781. [2] Apparently one his descendants, years later, would be named Oswald. The Maryland State Archives gives a quick overview of Tench's later life:

...[his children were] Anna Margaretta, born May 24, 1784 [who married]...her cousin Tench Tilghman, son of Peregrine Tilghman of "Hope"...[and] Elizabeth Tench, born October 11, 1786 [who married] Col. Nicholas Goldsborough...In 1784 formed a partnership with Robert Morris in Baltimore called Tench Tilghman & Co. Lived on Lombard Street...[died] April 18, 1786 in Baltimore [and was] buried [in] St. Paul's Church.

Within their sources is a chancery court case in which Samuel Stringer Cole sued James Carey, Margaret Tilghman, and Elizabeth Tilghman, a Baltimore Sun article, Papenfuse's "Remarks to Board of Public Works, February 4, 1998," other remarks, and a program. Most interesting is the 18-pages of a scanned inventory, showing that he had the many possessions when noted in May 1786. Instead of reprinting each (as that stretches for 7 pages), I picked the ones I thought were representative:

1 small sword 1 gold watch 10 coats with gold epaulets for a coat 13 shirts 14 socks 17 handkerchiefs 1 saddle cloth 1 pair of pistols 1 riding stick and 1 pair of spurs 2 military books 1 sword belt 22 silver table spoons 24 silver desert spoons 24 silver desert spoons and sugar tongs 12 Mahogany chairs 12 pewter dishes 100 lb good brown sugar

This showed his class position in society without a doubt, especially that he rode on a horse but did not own a plantation with enslaved blacks like his contemporaries (i.e. Thomas Jefferson and George Washington). The letter by Thomas to George Washington is not a surprise because he was the administrator of Tench's estate. Today, the MHS has papers specifically on the Tilghman family, as does the Library of Australia. Some even wrote a poem about him, with Washington placing "Tilghman among the prominent of the Revolution" as one writer put it.

Tench's wife, Anna Maria TilghmanBefore getting to Tench and Anna Maria's children, it is worth talking about Anna Maria. Buried on Talbot County MD, her former home was Plimhimmon, with her parents as Matthew Tilghman, an important figure in Maryland politics during the Revolutionary War, and Anna Lloyd, from the Lloyd family which was deeply rooted in Talbot County and also involved in local politics in the state (then a colony) of Maryland. Matthew's brother was James, who was the father of Tench, who had three other siblings (Richard, Anna Maria, and William). Anna Maria was, as the story goes, born at the "Hermitage," the family's plantation not to be confused with Andrew Jackson's home of the same name.Later, the "Hope House," established in 1800 would be the "Home of Tench Tilghman and his wife, Margaret Tilghman" with this Margaret Tilghman the "niece of Margaret Tilghman Carroll of Mount Clare – the daughter of Margaret’s sister Anna Maria and her husband, Colonel Tench Tilghman." Apparently in the Talbot County Historical Society hangs a copy of a "167-year-old portrait of Anna Maria...where she looks down through her old-fashioned glasses at the goings-on of the 21st century world," with the original in " the Shreve home."

Tench and Anna Maria's first daughter, Ann Margaretta

Ann Margaretta, or called Margaret for short, was born in 1755 as I noted in the previous post.As the letters above note, Margaret was born sometime in March 1784. Before her untimely death on March 18, 1812, she married a man named Tench Tilghman, the son of Peregrine Tilghman (whose father was Richard Tilghman who was the brother of Tench's father, James) and Deborah Lloyd. With this Tench she had three children. One of them, with the same name as his father, Tench, was mentioned in the pension documents in the previous article, while the other two children, an infant and William Ward, were not since they did not live very long (the infant died at less than a year old and William at age 4). Family history sites don't say much about her, except that her son Tench would be the future founder of the Maryland & Delaware railroad.

Nothing else can be currently determined.

Tench and Anna Maria's second daughter, Elizabeth

From our previous post it was clear that Elizabeth was born after Tench's death. Her gravestone only says she was 65 years old when she died on May 5, 1852, meaning she she can be the child of Tench and Anna Maria even though simple subtraction pegs her birth date in 1787 (when it was likely late 1786 but her birth date had not come up when she died). We also know that she married a man named C.T. Goldsborough and seemingly had a child named M. Tilghman Goldsborough and that she lived until at least 1843. Her gravestone shows that her husband was not "C.T. Goldsborough" but a man named Nicholas Goldsborough, and that she had six children with him:

Matthew Tilghman Goldsborough (1812–1861) [undoubtedly the same as "M. Tilghman Goldsborough"] James Nicholas Goldsborough (1814–1871) A Margaretta Goldsborough Hollyday (1816–1878) Sally Goldsborough (1827–1870) Nicholas Goldsborough (1829–1891) Mary Henrietta Goldsborough (1834–1907)

Due to the fact that she died in 1852, this is great for discovering more of her history, since she has to be in the 1850 census, the first that names all of those in the household, not just the head of the household.

Looking up Nicholas's name we find a record of his birth, but also the 1850 census for "Talbot county, part of, Talbot, Maryland, United States."  Rather than just linking the census it is worth reprint the image of the census itself, showing a household of 12 individuals!

Nicholas is called a Colonel, from what I can see, and is a farmer, with the Symthe family also living with them.

Before this, the 1820 census shows a Nicholas Goldsborough in "Trappe, Talbot, Maryland, United States," the 1830 census show a man of the same name in "Talbot, Maryland, United States" while the 1840 census shows a man by the same name in "District 3, Talbot, Maryland, United States." One can say these men are the same and that they are undoubtedly Elizabeth's husband of the same name. Additionally, it is likely that Elizabeth was living with him. Other records, within the 1850 "slave schedules" show that her husband is clearly a slaveowner, of at least three individuals. Hence, the Tilghman family could not escape slavery and was part of it without a doubt.

It is hard to say when Elizabeth married Nicholas. I say that because the 1800, 1810,  1820, and 1840, censuses show a woman named "Elizabeth Tilghman" in Talbot County, alone. Likely the "Mariah E Tilghman" in the 1840 census is Tench (the 1st)'s wife.

The story of Henrietta Maria Francis

As I noted in my post last week, a woman named Henrietta Maria Francis was first "acquainted" with Tench (in 1780), when she was age 25, and married the uncle of Tench, in 1783, with Tench visiting them after their marriage. She said in her deposition in the pension that:

...she intermarried with Philip Francis, the uncle of the said Tench Tilghman in the year seventeen hundred and eighty and was in the year seventeen hundred and eighty three was living near Eden Park, near the town of Wilmington, in Delaware, and that the said Col Tench Tilghman, before his marriage, and in the month of March of March seventeen hundred and eighty three made a visit to the despondents husband, at [Eden Park]

One history of Tench seems to mention this Philip fellow, saying that he is the brother of Anna Francis, the wife of James Tilghman, Tench's father, while another individual, "Tench Francis" is mentioned as Tench's uncle. Find A Grave is no help in this regard, only finding three individuals with the name of "Tench Francis." Other searches note a man named "Sir Philip Francis" but it not known of this is the same as Henrietta Maria's husband. The Wikipedia page for Tench Francis Sr gives the biggest clue:

Tench Francis (born probably in Ireland; died 16 August 1758) was a prominent lawyer and jurist in colonial Maryland and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania...In 1724 he married Elizabeth Turbutt. Together, they had [a number of children including] Philip Francis, who married Henrietta Maria Goldsborough, who were the grandparents of Philip Francis Thomas...[and] Ann Francis, who married James Tilghman, who were the parents of Tench Tilghman...Tench Francis died in Philadelphia in 1758.

So, Henrietta Maria's maiden name was Goldsborough and her husband, Philip Francis, had the same father as Tench's mother, Ann Francis. Searching for "Henrietta Maria Goldsborough" turns up varied results on Find A Grave so it is not known which, if any, are the same as Philip's wife. The same can be said for the results on Family Search. Tech does seem to call him "Phil Francis" in 1776 so perhaps Henrietta did know Tench well.

Conclusion

The Tilghman family is a gift that keeps giving for research, one that can continue to be mined for research. For now there won't be a follow-up article, but if anything else comes up in the future, an article adding to previous documents may be released. As always, I look forward to your comments.
