325Catherine Chuning was born sometime between 1795 and 1804 (or thereabouts).1 I know nothing else of her early life. Many Georgia residents participated in the state's 1805 land lottery, and all participants (even the non-winners) were recorded, yet no men with the surname Chewning or Chuning are listed in Paul K. Graham's 2005 book 1805 Georgia Land Lottery Persons Entitled to Draws.

She married 324Joseph Tillman in Bulloch County, Georgia on 17 March 1816.2 For more information about their lives together, etc., you may want to see his profile since some of that information won't be repeated here.

The 1820 census shows that the young family had settled in Bulloch County. The numbers represent the following people (in order): 1 boy age 0-9 [very likely 162James Tillman], 1 man age 26-44 [324Joseph], 2 girls age 0-9, 1 woman age 16-25 [325Catherine], and the rest are slaves.1

325Catherine probably died circa 1830, since on 2 June 1831 her husband 324Joseph married his second wife Casander C. Everitt in Tattnall County, Georgia.3
