I had heard it was first a surname, and was not a Pennsylvania German name. I found this on a famous Tilghman - Tench Tilghman - that may have started the first name in honor of him: James Tilghman, Sr. (1716--1793), originally of Maryland, had moved to Philadelphia in 1765 and married Anna Francis, daughter of Tench Francis. He was a member of the provincial council and secretary of the proprietary land office. In May 1774 he had been sent to Williamsburg with James Allen to consult with Governor Dunmore about the Pennsylvania-Virginia boundary dispute, and George Washington probably had seen the two men there during the meeting. His grandson, Tench Tilghman was a Revolutionary War hero: http://www.marylandtheseventhstate.com/article1010.html or http://www.history1700s.com/articles/article1114.shtml >From Wikipedia: Tench Tilghman (December 25, 1744-April 18, 1786, Baltimore, Maryland) was an American Colonel serving on General Washington's staff during the Revolutionary War, serving in every major campaign of the main Revolutionary army. Tench was born in Calvert County, Maryland, the nephew and son-in-law of Matthew Tilghman. On October 24, 1781, he delivered the formal report of Cornwallis's surrender at Yorktown to the Continental Congress. Tench Tilghman was the grandfather of Civil War Brigadier General Lloyd Tilghman.
