  • Notes 
    • . PETER TILTON, son of John Tilton, 2. He is not mentioned with the other children of John Tilton, 2, on the Quaker birth records, but is called son, by him in his will & said not to be of age at the time will was made. He is called brother, in the WILL of John Tilton & named by him as one of his executors.

      . 1705 June 5. He Signed, with the rest of the relatives, as a witness at the marriage of his brother, Samuel, 12, to Patience Allen.

      . 1717 Nov. 6. His name occurs again in this same prominent position, as a witness, when his brother, Daniel, 14, marries Elizabeth Powell. & it was at his house, in Middletown, that his sister, Esther, married William Lawrence Oct. 15, 1719.

      His second intentions of marriage were published, in the Shrewsbury Monthly Meeting of Women, Nov. 5, 1722, with Lydia Bills. I suspect she was a sister to that Elizabeth who joined with Peter Tilton, as his wife, in conveying land, Dec. 2, 1717, when the witnesses to the deed were Thomas Bills, David Allen, Thomas Bills, Jr. & John Louis Pintard, in other words that this Peter Tilton, 13, married, first, Elizabeth Bills & second, in 1722, her sister, Lydia Bills. But that is merely a supposition.
