In the History of Osage County, Kansas, by Hon. James Rogers, there is a reference to William Tillinghast.
This reference states that in the Spring of 1855, William Tillinghast took claims on Dragoon.
This appears to have been near Burlingame.
The name of William J Tillinghast appears on the Kansas Voter Registration List, for elections: March 30, 1855 & October 9, 1855, for District/County 7, Precinct/T__township
Council City.
Does anyone have any information concerning this individual, or know where I could find it?
