[1379] Within a couple years of her marriage to John Tilton,
Mary "Goody"
Tilton got into trouble with the Salem Church. The Court proceedings,
under
the date of December 1642, report that "Lady Deborah Moody, Mrs.
King, and
the wife of John Tilton were presented for houldinge that the
baptising of
Infants is noe ordinance of God." Shortly after this John, Mary and
their
young children moved to Gravesend, Long Island, along with Lady
Deborah
Moody and several other families. Mary "Goody" and John Tilton were
among
the first Americans to become Quakers. The Dutch Governer of New
Amsterdam,
Peter Stuyvesant, made continual efforts to stamp out "these raving
Quakers"
by fines and imprisonment. John Tilton and his wife Mary were among
those
who had to endure hard persecutions. Goody Tilton, wife of John
Tilton, was
charged with the crime of having, like a sorceress, gone from door to
door
to lure and seduce the people, even young girls, to join the Quakers.
John
was charged with having permitted Quakers to quake at his house in
Gravesend.

[1497] William was educated at Rugby School in the village of Rugby,
about
two miles east of Wolston. William, and his second wife, Susanna,
came to
Lynn, Massachusetts in about 1639.
William Tilton first appears in the records of Lynn, Massachusetts in
1643
when he took inventory of the estate of Abraham Belknap of Lynn.
Also, at
the court held at Salem, Massachusetts on April 30, 1646, "William
Tilton of
Lynn, was freed from training, by paying 6 shillings yearly, but to
keep his
arms fixed." In addition his name is found on several estate
inventories.
The inventory of his own estate was taken February 16, 1653 by Edward
Burchum, Henry Collins and Francis Ingals.
William Tilton is listed in some sources as a "Freeman," which
indicates he
was a voting member of the Massachusetts Bay Company (founded by
Samuel
Sewell in 1636). Millard Fillmore, 13th President of the United
States, was
a 6th generation descendant of William through his son Abraham.
[1494] The will was proven on May 1, 1653.

[1355] Peter and his young bride Rebecca Brazier were among the
earliest
settlers of Monmouth, New Jersey, moving there by 1669. (Peter was
one of
the original Patentees.) Peter Tilton and brother-in-law Samuel
Spicer were
particularly active in bringing in new settlers to Monmouth, New
Jersey.
Land development and the life of a country gentleman were the major
focus of
Peter's adult life. He held land in Shrewsbury until at least 1678,
when his
daughter Esther was born in Middletown. Records show that he amassed
over
1,000 acres in this area. His pride was Tilton Manor, resting on 340
acres
called Marvel Hill. It was framed on one end by a brook leading to
Jumping
River and on to Swimming River. Hit Tilton Little Farm comprised
another 200
acres on Romanesse Brook and Swimming River. All of his Middletown
holdings
were divided among his children, starting as early as 1697 while he
was
serving one of his terms as justice of peace. He was also constable a
few
times, and served as a member of the Provisional Assembly of East
Jersey in
1681 and 1682. With all this, he was still able to perform marriage
ceremonies, which he loved to do at Tilton Manor in a setting that was
patterned after English gentility. He also found time to be a leader
within
the Shrewsbury Society of Friends. Peter and Rebecca lived out their
days
happily in Monmouth, New Jersey, as did some of their children. No
will
found. The inventory of his estate was taken October 19, 1700. INDEX
[1454] William's will states his occupation as husbandman. He
witnessed the
will of Richard Snow on April 15, 1553 and the will of Thomas Snow on
April
15, 1559. He is perhaps the William Tyllson named in the 1571 Lay
Subsidy
Roll at Narboro.
[1452] His will was probated on June 19, 1578. His wife Alice is named
executrix in this will.
[1497] William was educated at Rugby School in the village of Rugby,
about
two miles east of Wolston. William, and his second wife, Susanna,
came to
Lynn, Massachusetts in about 1639.
William Tilton first appears in the records of Lynn, Massachusetts in
1643
when he took inventory of the estate of Abraham Belknap of Lynn.
Also, at
the court held at Salem, Massachusetts on April 30, 1646, "William
Tilton of
Lynn, was freed from training, by paying 6 shillings yearly, but to
keep his
arms fixed." In addition his name is found on several estate
inventories.
The inventory of his own estate was taken February 16, 1653 by Edward
Burchum, Henry Collins and Francis Ingals.
William Tilton is listed in some sources as a "Freeman," which
indicates he
was a voting member of the Massachusetts Bay Company (founded by
Samuel
Sewell in 1636). Millard Fillmore, 13th President of the United
States, was
a 6th generation descendant of William through his son Abraham
[1901] John was the oldest son of Peter Tilton and Rebecca Brazier. In
addition to farming, John also worked as a carpenter. He divested
himself of
his land holdings, to certain brothers, in 1708. He "removed" to New
Castle,
Delaware (still a part of Pennsylvania) in 1708. He wrote his will in
January of 1710, naming his wife Elizabeth as excutor. He died that
year,
and his will was proved on June 17, 1710.
From Grandma was a Tilton, pp. 55-56:
The Drapier Manuscripts in the State Historical Society of Wisconsin
give
the following account by Caleb Wells, of Maryland and later the Ohio
River
area, which tells the tale and said it happend when Richard was about
age
17... The Caleb account states that the Indians held Richard as a lone
prisoner as they moved up Short Creek and then came upon three other
ginseng
gatheres. Two were killed and "a young man named David Pusley was
captured."
Still moving up Short Creek, two other diggers were spotted but got
away
when Pusley ended his own life by warning them. A few more miles and
the
party came across "David Cox; Thomas Swearingen, John Fitzpatrick and
one
Crowley gathering ginseng." Cox and Swearingen were killed while the
other
two escaped.
It is clear from this account that the Indians were not in a good
mood this
day. They marched their lone captive, Richard Tilton, to the Indian
town of
Sandusky (at the site of the current town of the same name on the
south
central bank of Lake Erie). At this pont the story becomes very
remarkable.
There is no indication that Richard was tortured, and he certainly
wasn't
burned at the stake as another resident of the area, one Valentine
Crawford,
was at Sandusky just four years earlier. Niether was Richard kept as a
member of the tribe, as was the fate of many captured youngsters
during
these times. He wasn't killed on the spot, tortured, burned at the
stake or
enslaved, although other captured around the same time were abused or
even
killed. Yet he was caught red-handed stealing from the Indians'
medicine
chest. Instead he was shortly released. It begins to sound like a
case of
the man being made by the clothes he wore. Perhaps the Quaker card was
played by Richard for the last time, or if not by him, by his Quaker
father
and other Friends of Short Creek and Redstone.
In this century, the late Leroy Tilton of the New Jersey branch of the
family is reported to have run across this Tilton reference in the
September
1, 1787, Kentucky Gazette as reprinted from a Pittsburgh newpaper:
Carlisle (Kentucky), July 23, Thursday last an Indian Chief of the
Delaware
Nation came to town and brought with him a young lad of the name
Tilton who
was taken about two months since near Wheeling by a party of
Delawares who
were in company with Shawnees that committed some murders at that same
place.
This lad was surely Richard Tilton, at a boyish age of 13, brought
due south
from Sandusky. This 1787 date and the "near Wheeling" location of the
capture makes a Richard and Jackson Tilton ginseng harvest more of a
possibility...
From page 61:
From 1792 ... until the year 1805, when Richard emerged in Virginia
Township, Coshocton County, Ohio as "the first settler properly so
called,"
very little has been recorded of the activities of [Richard Tilton
and his
brothers]. Enough patches of information exist to indicate that they
often
came together as they melted into the swarming groups of pioneers
roaming
the area of southeastern Ohio and claiming plots of land. But Richard
especially was drawn to the Coshocton area - Muskingum River Valley
that was
sixty-five miles west of the Ohio River. Oral history has it that he
had
been struck by its natural beauty when led through the area as a
captive of
Indians when a boy.
When he arrive in 1805, he was not alone. He had a wife, four sons:
John
William, Elijah and Joseph, and baby daughter Elizabeth...
From page 66: [Richard] served as Justice of the Peace for a period of
sixteen years...
From page 76: By 1848, Richard Tilton and much of his brood were to
move to
Ogle [county, Illinois].
[680] [S88]
[734] William and Nancy (Hardesty) Tilton moved their family to
Lafayette
Township, Ogle County, Illinois in 1843 (their postal address was
Ashton,
Lee County, Illinois). They owned 100 acres, Section 4, Lafayette
Township.
They were members of the Christian Church.

[1328] After growing up in the northern New Castle area around
Brandywine,
John moved to the area of Cecil County, Maryland (due west) sometime
before
July 1734. He met a young widow, Elizabeth (Ebtharpe) Howlet from
Talbot,
Maryland, and they wed in July 1734. They lived on the estate she
inherited.
