Susan . . , who was of New Jersey, before coming to Ohio. He settled in Ohio before it was legal to do so, it being yet Indian territory. In consequence, the United States troops were sent against him; his house was burned; his orchard destroyed, and he driven forth. He returned, though, and had a son born there who is credited with being the first white child born in the Northwest Territory, to whom was given the name of Caleb.

The late Henry M. Walter, of Washington, D. C., 424 Eleventh St., N.W., endeav- ored, but in vain, to connect the family of Tiltons into which he married with the New Jersey line.
From the records of the Pension Department he learned that Peter Tilton, the earliest of the line to whom he could trace, "served as a member of Captain Samuel Clark's company of New York State Troops, in the Revolutionary War, this company having been 'selected from the militia of Ulster County for the defense of the State of New York, by order of the convention of the said State dated July 16, 1776.' His name appears on the muster roll of the company, not dated, with record as follows: 'Day of enlistment, July 31, .... .. Day which marched, Aug. 4, Time of enlistment, till last day of Dec. When mustered, Aug. 4, 1776. Age, 36 years, born in Jersey, a carpenter. Height, 5 ft. io in. Fair com- plexion, brown hair blue eyes.'
"It also appears from the records that one Peter Tilton served as a private in Captain Philip D. Bevier's company, 5th New York Regiment, commanded by Colonel Lewis Duboys, Revolutionary War. He enlisted March 1, 1777, to serve three years, and was discharged January 20, 1780. It further appears from the records that one Peter Tilton served as a private in Captain Jonathan Piercy's company of Colonel Albert Pawling's regiment, New York Militia, Revolutionary War. His name appears on a list of certificates issued by the Treasurer of the State of New York, with remark showing that the soldier received a certificate for services in 1781 in the regiment mentioned."

TILTON UNCONNECTED LINES
One branch of the Tilton family lived, generally, at and around Bakersville, Bar- gaintown, and Absecon, near Atlantic City. Among the descendants the impression quite generally obtains that they are descended from the inevitable three brothers, one of whom settled on Long Island, one in Monmouth County, and the third, from whom they get their descent, at Absecon.
