I. Dr. Timothy Tilton was a tax-payer in that part of New Chester now Bristol as early as 1806, apparently residing on the west side of Newfound river. In 1810, he was residing on the east side of that river on what is now Pleasant street, and consequently, in Bridgewater. That year he served as select- man of Bridgewater. In 1823, he was on Bridgewater hill and was then a member of the District Medical society. The loss of the Inventory books of both New Chester and Bridgewater cov- ering the early years of these towns, prevents a more exact state- ment in this case as in many others.
