He was born in the Boxley Valley to Vilissa Piety Villines who belonged to Hezekiah and Elizabeth Penn Villines. And his Daddy was said to have been a slave named Rowland. The Rowland farm was estimated to be about 30 miles from the Villines farm. Tim was said to have had two other brothers.
Tim was raised in the Boxley Valley and proceeded to have a family of his own. Having married two white women and having children by both. Tim and his family were all well respected and accepted within the community. It wasn't until after the children were grown and their parents had passed away that the next generation started making trouble. An older gentleman encouraged the grown men to move their siblings to OK where they wouldn't be as disturbed and for their safety. But during the years of Tim and his wives the community accepted them and included them within the community. One remembers him "a great big black man that never caused anybody any trouble...sometimes Papa would hire his boys to clean up around the place here."
Apparently he is in an unmarked grave. Buried beside his second wife and 2 of his sons. He died in the early 1920's
