About us

Close matches appeared between several independently tested Tillers and Tillyers, as well as other lineages related to them in the direct though apparently illegitimate male line. Testees so far represent Tiller/Tillyer lineages from Virginia, South Carolina, London, and Middlesex. The Middlesex Tillyers are from the village of Sipson, where one Thomas Tillyer rented land in 1449.

Perfect high resolution DNA matches, combined with documentary evidence, clearly indicates that Henry Peeples, born in Camden District, South Carolina in 1786, must have been the illegitimate son of a male in the family of Joseph Tiller of Tiller's Ferry, South Carolina, died April 1801. Henry Peeples became the progenitor of a large connection in Georgia and Florida.

A perfect 67 marker DNA match between descendants of Henry Peeples and the descendants of Marion Lee Crowley of Cecil, GA (1865-1933) demonstrates that he was the son of a male of the Henry Peeples lineage, and documentary evidence and family tradition strongly suggest that his father was Henry Peeples son, Henry Thompson (1818-1893).
