Mr. Bollay,
This sounds fascinating, as I am always looking for items of interest for Tillinghast articles to write.I have just finished one on Otis H. Tillinghast, who was a captain killed in Bull Run (1st Manassas) civil war battle and after whom a fort was named in Arlington, Va.
As a researcher, I am constantly involved in Tillinghast databases, both in obtaining such and also in providing such.However, I am at a loss regarding Anna Tillinghast for that date.There are several previous Anna's, but the only that comes close and who did live in Boston was Anna Churchill Moulton Tillinghast.She was a suffragist, businesswoman, and a Republican party leader, but her records seem to start in 1911 in this regard.Perhaps the portrait was a wedding one, but I do not have any data on her birth, marriage, or death.She was still living in 1936.I will search more in this regard, but I would appreciate your sending me anything of interest to my email at [email protected] and I would certainly like to follow up more with you on this.
Regards,
Kent Watkins
