Biography[]

Born in Louisiana, Tilly Jackson was kidnapped from her mother by the Foreman Brothers at the age of 12, and she was involved with the gang before killing Anthony Foreman's cousin Malcolm for attempting to violate her. She then fled and found Dutch van der Linde, who saved her from walking down the wrong path and taught her how to read. She became a member of the Van der Linde Gang, befriending Mary-Beth Gaskill and Karen Jones. In 1899, she was kidnapped by the Foreman gang while the gang was encamped near New Orleans, but Arthur Morgan rescued her from the Radley House and forced Anthony Foreman to swear to leave Tilly alone. She went on to leave the gang as it disintegrated and as Dutch went insane, and she married a wealthy Haitian lawyer and settled in a mansion in New Orleans, writing letters to her old friend John Marston and still spending time with her old friend Mary-Beth.
