Lions, Meredith Tilen, Perelene Dec 18, 1845 Surry Co.

"Tilen" could easily be a mis-reading of "Tilla" if the second "l" is short and the "a" was left open.

2. 1840 U.S. Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com): there are several TILLA families and one TILLY family in Surry Co., NC; there are TILLEY families in Wilkes Co., NC.
