commissioned as lieutenant Phalanx Company, Twenty-ninth Regiment, July 28, 1842; as captain, Sept, 13, 1843; major, Twenty-ninth Regi- ment, July 6, 1846, and as colonel, May 19, 1848, commanding his regi- ment on the same muster field (30 years later) as his grandfather, Colonel Jeremiah, for whom he was named. Colonel Tilton was prom- inent in the Republican party in New Hampshire and held numerous offices, having been elected as moderator in the years 1858-'59, and as a member of the Legislature in 1855 and railroad commissioner for three years in 1860. He was appointed, April 18, 1861, as an aide to the adjutant-general, having charge of the recruiting stations in Belknap, Carroll and other northern counties of the state when, on August 10, 1861, he received a commission signed by President Lincoln as com- missary of subsistence in the army, and left at once for active service on the staff of Generals Couch and Devens during the campaign of General Mcclellan on the peninsula before Richmond, where he had the entire charge of feeding for a division of over 12,000 men, receiving the greatest praise from his commanding officer for the emcient man- ner in which he personally hastened the arrival of the commissary sup- plies, frequently spending the entire night in the swamps of Virginia on the road with his wagon trains, where he contracted malaria and was obliged to resign after nearly two years' service; during the re- mainder of his life he was a great sufferer from its effects. In 1864 he was appointed as commissioner of the board of enrollment for the First District of New Hampshire with an office at Portsmouth, where he remained until the end of the war.
Colonel Tilton took an active part and was largely instrumental in the division of the town of Sanbornton and formation of the town of Tilton in 1869, being one of the parties designated by the Legislature to call the first meeting of the new town. In 1871 he was appointed post- master of Tilton, holding the office until his death.
Col. Jeremiah C. Tilton was greatly interested in all public affairs, and to his influence and suggestions may be traced many of the im- provements and adornments that beautify the village of his adoption.
