- We made a trip to our families home land Moultrie Ga. the Tillman family landed there in the mid 1840’s. This video shows what’s left of the house that was once a home. The original house had a dirt floor. My great grandfather was born in that house. William “Bill” and HollyTillman raised 14 children on that farm. This is our history.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
You’re welcome! We wish we could by the old place, but it’s still in the family!
Awesome history!
Thank you! Thanks for watching!
Hey guys 🖐🏽 this is so cool! Great family roots still in effect! 😊
Yes they are. I’d love to own that old place. It’s still in the family. Thanks for watching!
Sidestep Adventures directed me to your video.Very Interesting history and incredibly huge oak trees.Im sure they’re 300+ years old each.An arborist can conduct a core sample for a more definitive age range.Thanks for sharing your experience.
It’s an amazing history! I love all the stories from those that have gone before us. Thanks for watching!
I love the video. My family owned all of Lake City, SC a whole county! It was sold off as time went on. Nowadays it is pretty much gone. It's really wierd that most or all of that side of my family is buried all around that area, a lot of family graves over the past. My great grandaddy died I am now almost 50 years old now, he was the last one that had all of the info on everything. Sounds like you got a lot of info from your family, so cool! I love this! I like the story about the hog collar in the 60's in the big oak tree , crazy, crazy!! I have got into metal detecting over the last few years. You might find some cool stuff about your family!
I’ve always loved my family’s history. It’s so rich and I can trace back to Kent England in the 12th century. I love hunting facts! Thanks for watching.
This is so cool. My family is from Moultrie and have always had reunions at Reed Bingham SP which is right up the road. I’ve passed by that old farm and farm house many times over the years. I’m 46 years old so remember it pretty well. Brings back lots of memories
I’m 44. My Great Grandfather sold around 5 or 600 acres to the state for that park. We too have family reunions there. I’d bet you know people in my family. Tillman’s, Robert’s, Norman’s, Bakers. Thanks for watching.
PS. GO DAWGS!!!
@@tillmanfamilyfarm7759 I believe I have met some Tillmans. My family are the Thompson’s, Grahams, and Yeardys. You’re welcome and love your channel. Yes sir, Go Dawgs
Hey, sad to see it now. I'm Bill Tillmans great grandson too, through his daughter Margie. Great Aunt Dixie showed me the inside back when it was in better shape in the early 90s. Thanks for showing it. I remember great Uncle Snoop used to run hogs big time. Righteous video for the trees. If they could speak...
Nice! Yes! There are tons of us out there! Lol. Our family’s history is very rich. My son and I have traced ancestors back into the 1200 in Kent England. Thanks for commenting!
@@tillmanfamilyfarm7759 The city in Kent came up as Faversham in my search. Good to connect with you.
PS. I do remember navigating those muddy November roads in a small Datsun back then picking up my daughter at Marjies house, right on the edge of the farm.
Sad to say that I don’t. So many things I wish I remembered about that place.
The original Tillmans!
Man thats an awesome old drawing
I cant imagine feeding more than the 3 I have
Man alive the trees!!!!
Doesn't it break your heart 💔 to see the family homestead falling apart beautiful piece of property... wow that's a big ol tree👍
At one time there were grand family reunions held there. Not sure how big it was to start with. I’ve been told close to 2000 acres. great grandpa sold some to the state for a state park then some to some of the children. Not sure how much is left. I’ve recently been talking to a 2nd cousin that her dad and uncles still own it. It’s just net history for us. Thanks for the comments! And thanks for watching!
Please never cut that magistic tree done. These are extremely ancient ahd must be protected. Not many trees of this size and age are living because of man’s complete and utter greed and stupidity. I think this tree is around 1000 years old. If not, more. Please never let nobody cut it down and take good care of it. Plant it’s seeds around the property to keep the species alive. Thanks for sharing
So darn sad that this house has been let go. You should see about rebuilding that old house to its original state using trees in the area. Just replant them trees though., restore all the buildings on the property. I would
It’s still in our family and I have talked to them about doing something. They don’t really have the means or the interest. I’d love to see it brought back to life.
@@tillmanfamilyfarm7759 dude… start a GoFundMe page and post a video about this with you standing in front of your ancestors Homeplace and tell your story in why the place needs restored. Then post the link below and hopefully you’ll get hits. But, you’ll have to be transparent and show the donation folks the progress of the restoration. These old places are being lost to time and severe neglect. The worst thing that can be done to a house is to not live in it no more. That’s when they begin to fall to ruin and destruction. Good luck. It’s history that needs preserved here and how houses and barns were put together. Today’s buildings are slammed together and fly apart in high winds. The old places such as this, are constructed well with pride and was intended for generations to live in. Hope you get this restored soon.
Do you know Robert Wright from Side Step Adventures?
We do! He lives in the same county as we do!
I watch Robert and Aaron every day. Hope you both restore both homes
My grandma's father had a large hog pot to boil the hair off. They killed the hogs in cold weather maybe October or November. Thanks
This is our history. It’s a big reason why we farm pigs today. Thanks for watching!
Came here througt sidestepadv. What a place to grow up in! I would prefere this to nowdays
