Margaret (Livingston) Tillotson (1749-1823)

Mrs Margaret (Livingston) Tillotson, "The Angel of Linwood"

She was said to have been the best known of her six sisters to the people of Rhinebeck, and was "much loved". The Rev. Blanchard wrote: "Mrs Tillotson has not left any record on the pages of history as have her brothers (and husband), but she has left in the hearts of people, now departed, a record passed on in repeated kindliness. It was the custom of "The Angel of Linwood" to have her carriage brought up in the morning and with a well filled basket go out in search of the needy. None was ever known to be neglected". She and her husband were the parents of five children.
