| Newspaper Mention | 23 December 1865 | The 23 December 1865 edition of the Newport Mercury, Newport, Newport County, Rhode Island, reported "Last Saturday morning about half past ten o'clock the stable of Mr. Abraham H. Tilley, near Warner street, was found to be on fire, and before the firemen could render any assistance, the building was nearly consumed, with two cows, seven tons of hay, two tons of straw, and a lot of farming tools, the whole valued at about $1,000, on which there was no insurance. The firemen succeeded in confining the fire to the barn and the shed. This fire has been attributed to an incendiary, but as is frequently the case with such reports it is false, for it appears that Mr. Tilley's little boy found half a match and lit it while in the barn, and when it burnt his fingers he let it drop among the hay. He was too young to know the consequences, and in a few minutes the building was enveloped in flames. Mr. Tilley has always been a hard working man and the loss falls heavily upon him."

We learn that the men were hurrying up the fire under the boilers, and the sparks from the chimney fell on to the roof, and before they were aware of the danger, the fire had got well under way. An alarm was given, but before the firemen arrived, the neighbors had succeeded in quenching the fire. He was fully insured." |

Biography
| Birth | 19 October 1738 | Deac. William Tilley was born on 19 October 1738 in Newport, Newport County, Rhode Island.1 |
| Occupation | 1758 | In 1758 William worked in Newport, Newport County, Rhode Island, as a rope-maker, as was his father before him. Attached is an article with many details of the rope-making industry of Newport. I apologize that the attached pdf opens with the article upside down. In Adobe Reader, you can click View, Rotate View, and turn it right side up.  |
| Marriage | 29 October 1759 | He and Elizabeth Rogers were married on 29 October 1759 in Newport County, Rhode Island, William and Elizabeth had 17 children: Mary William (died in infancy) William (died in infancy) Sarah James Thomas Betsey (died in infancy) William Elizabeth Dorcas George (died in infancy) Abraham Dennis Patience John Tabour George Benjamin Nancy2 |

| Newspaper Mention | 10 September 1799 | The 10 September 1799 edition of the Newport Mercury, Newport, Newport County, Rhode Island, reported that William and John Tilley were looking for ropework apprentices. See attached advertisement. I think the John referred to in the advertisement must be William's son John Tabour, born in 1788, so age 21 at this time. Rope was made by skilled workmen who spent their days walking backwards. Using their fingers, they began by spinning hemp yarn from a coil of combed fiber wrapped around their waists. In subsequent passes, they twisted multiple strands of yarn into rope, and then into various weights of sheet, cable and hawser for use aboard ship. The long walkways were required to assure that the finished product would meet the then-standard cable length of 120 fathoms or 720 feet. Rope-making started to be mechanized in the early 1800s |
| Marriage | January 1802 | He and Catherine Sabine were married in January 1802 in Rehoboth, Bristol County, Massachusetts, |
| Death | 14 April 1825 | He died on 14 April 1825 in Newport, Newport County, Rhode Island,1 |
| Newspaper Mention | 27 June 1885 | The 27 June 1885 edition of the Newport Mercury, Newport, Newport County, Rhode Island, reported on some photographs and portraits that were donated to the Newport Historical Society, which was opened to the public 10 November 1884. Two of the portraits listed were: William Tilley, of Newport (1738-1825), artist unknown, painted in Newport 1807. Deposited by the surviving grand-children. Catharine Tilley, wife of William (1744-1817), artist unknown, painted in Newport 1807, Deposited by the surviving grand-children. |
