HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
After his death, Rebecca married, Jan. 9, 1710/11, William Leeds,* whose record in Christ Church, Shrewsbury, reads that he died April 27, 1739; this is on the fly-leaf of the cover of the minutes of that Church.
In his will, dated June 20, 1735, and proved Nov. 20, 1739, he refers to his wife, Rebecca, and leaves his personalty, after that wife's death, to Rebecca Gracey and Ebenezer Applegate, children of the said wife. Then follows a legacy to Abigail Apple- gate, daughter of Richard Applegate, that leads me to think Richard was a son, and Abigail a grand daughter of Daniel and Rebecca (Tilton) Applegate.
1697, June 1. Peter and Rebecca Tilton convey one hundred acres of land to their daughter Rebecca, the wife of Daniel Applegate, between Hop and Swimming Rivers, Middletown.

1708, Nov. 2. John Tilton, carpenter, and Elizabeth, his wife, convey land to his brothers, Henry and Samuel Tilton, sons of Peter Tilton. Freehold Deeds.
20 PETER TILTON, son of Peter Tilton, 3, born Apr. 10, 1672; is called an Innholder, of Middletown, June 15, 1699, when he mortgages one hundred acres of land that had been conveyed to him by his father on the 28th of the preceding March.
His earmark is recorded March 2, 1695/6, in the Middletown Town Book, and he is called uncle, by Benjamin Carmin when the same mark is taken up by him, Jan. 19, 1734/5.
He is a witness at the marriage of his cousin Sarah Tilton, 12, to Walter Herbert, June 2, 1704, as is also Elizabeth Tilton, who may possibly have been his wife, since the other Elizabeth Tilton then present and signing was doubtless the wife of his brother, John, 19.
1709, Nov. 10. He conveys land to his brothers, Henry, Samuel and John Tilton, in a deed wherein his brother Daniel is not mentioned.
*The original certificate for this marriage, issued by Obadiah Bowne, is in the possession of Dr. J. E. Stillwell.

A deed is on record, from Abel Tilton, of Freehold, and Martha, his wife, to William Vaughan, of Middletown, when there signed as witnesses to the trans- action Abraham Wilder, Peter Tilton, Benjamin Carman, Sylvester Tilton, and Joseph Tilton. On account of there being so many Tilton witnesses to this deed, it seems most likely that they were the brothers of Abel Tilton, the grantor and heir of Peter, 20.

In the Shrewsbury Quaker Records the date for their marriage is given as Iomo., 31, 1745, the same as that of the marriage of Stephen West to Sarah Lippincott, a sister to William Lippincott, Jr., at the house of their father, William Lippincott, in Shrews- bury. But it is evident that the marriage of Esther Tilton did not take place at that date, probably because the other one did occur then and the family could not be at them both on the same date. Evident, for the reason that, in the minutes of the Monthly Meeting, the committee appointed to attend their marriage, reported to the Meeting that the marriage had not taken place up to the time of their report, Jan. 6, 1745; asked to be continued; and then reported, Feb. 3, 1745, that it had been done in an orderly manner.
