. JOHN TILTON, was the son of John & Mary (Goodie) Tilton of Gravesend, who supported religious persecution & were banished by Stuyvesant.
The children of these were: John (1), Thomas (2), Peter (3), Esther (4), who married Samuel Spicer, Sarah (5), who married John Painter, Abigail (6), who married, first, Ralph Warner &, secondly, William Scott & Mary (7), who married, first a Carman & secondly, Henry Bowman.
. JOHN TILTON, son of John Tilton.1, born 4mo. (June), 4, 1640; died probably early in the year 1704, his will having been probated April 17th of that year. He married, first, at Oyster Bay, L. I., 8 mo. (Oct.), 10, 1670, Mary Coats &
second, at Flushing, L. I., 3mo. (May), 12, 1674, Rebecca Terry, by whom he appears to have had all his children. She died, in Middletown, N. J., (Dec), 18, 171 5. This date for her death is found on the Shrewsbury Quaker Meeting Records, on the same page as & following after the names & dates of birth of the children born to Walter & Sarah (Tilton) Herbert. & Sarah Herbert was her own daughter.
. 1658 Oct. 10. Thomas Greedye, born in Devonshire, England, in his WILL of this date; proved Nov. 4, 1658, devised to his loving friend John Tilton, of Gravesend, his estate, out of which the said Tilton was to pay his debts & the remainder he bequeathed to Peter Tilton, son of said John Tilton, excepting only one small sum the which I have given unto John Tilton, Jr.
. 1662 Nov. 16. Order for John Tilton, Jr., to deliver up a boat he had secured.
. 1664 I mo., 25. John Tilton, Jr. & his brother-in-law, Samuel Spicer, were among those named in the first purchase of land, in Monmouth Co., from the Indian Sachem Popomora. This deed was acknowledged April 7, 1665 & is on record in the Secretary
of State's Office, at Albany & in Trenton, as well as in the Proprietors' Office at Perth Amboy.
. 1683 Aug. 13. John Tilton, Jr., of Gravesend, sold to Martin Petersen (Wykoff) a plantation in Gravesend.
. 1684 Mch. 26. John Tilton, Jr., named as executor in the WILL of Obadiah Wilkins. 1691/2, Mch. 8. John Tilton, of Gravesend, sold to Cort Stevenson, of Flatlands, all his Gravesend property, for £295, reserving the use for 12 months to remove therefrom. About this time he would seem to have left Gravesend to reside in Monmouth Co. & this deduction is further sustained by the fact that his brother, Peter Tilton & wife Rebecca, were the only Tiltons whose names appear in the Quaker Records up to 1692.
. 1694 September. He was one of the Grand Jurors independent enough to indict one of the Judges then sitting on the bench & to present another.

. 1700 9mo., (Sep.), 23. WILL of John Tilton, of Middletown; proved Apr. 17, 1704. In it he makes no mention of his son Abraham Tilton, probably because he was dead at the time of its being made. Neither does the testator refer in it to his youngest daughters, Mary & Hester. But he does distinctly declare that he had a son Peter Tilton, who is not of age & yet this Peter's name is not given with those of the other children in the Shrewsbury Quaker Records, nor in the Friends Records of New York & Vicinity, which gives his children & their birth dates, as I append them.
To son, John Tillton, 5 shillings; to son Samuel Tillton 85 acres of upland & 3 of meadow & to his heirs; to daughter Sarah Tilton 1 cow; to my wife, Rebecca Tillton, after my decease, my dwelling house, etc. & all my farme, after her decease it is to go to my son Peter Tillton & his heirs, not yet 21;
In case of his death, then to my son Daniel Tillton & his heirs; if he die before he come of age, then to my son Thomas Tillton & his heirs. If Peter live to be 21, then he is to pay unto his two brothers Daniel & Thomas Tillton, £15 to each; if he die, Daniel shall pay £30 to Thomas. Residue to my wife Rebecca Tillton, my Executrix & after her death, to be equally divided amongst my children, friends, Thomas Hillborn & John Lippincott. will be helpful to my wife to see my will performed. Signed, John Tilton Sen.
