Allen P. Tilton; letters of administration were granted, in Atlantic County, on his estate, Oct. 16, 1888, to his son, John H. Tilton. He left surviving him a widow, Marion A. Tilton, and the son who was made his administrator.
CAPTAIN CLAYTON TILTON, the Tory, of Shrewsbury, together with Aaron White, was one of the prisoners exchanged for Daniel Randolph and Jacob Flemming, who had been captured with Captain Joshua Huddy, at Toms River. It is supposed that he accompanied the British when they evacuated New York City. And Mch. IO, 1794, twenty-four hundred and forty-two acres of land were granted at Musquash, New Brunswick, to John Mount, Ebenezer Scott and Clayton Tilton. In 1906, I am informed, there stood upon the Tilton grant the Musquash School House, the Church of England Rectory, the Shore Line Station House, and several residences.
Volume 2 of the Second Series of the New Jersey Archives relates that the properties of Ezekiel Tilton, and John Tilton, late of Middletown, and of Clayton Tilton, late of Shrewsbury, were confiscated after the Revolution.
1774, Mch. 25. A mortgage is on record at Freehold, given by Thomas and Francis Chadwick and their wives Elizabeth and Huldah, which shows that the land mortgaged was bounded on the east and south by Samuel Pintard and Clayton Tilton, on the west by a highway, and on the north by the North or Navesink River.
Clayton Tilton had a brother John Tilton, who was also a Tory, and by some it has been supposed that they were brothers to the Deborah Tilton, born May 7, 1754; died June 1, 1850, who married William White, of St. John, New Brunswick. But there would seem to be little more than conjecture to this.
Clayton Tilton married, first, Catharine, daughter of Samuel and Almy (Borden) Scott; and, after her death, he married, July 30, 1805, Elizabeth, the widow of Thomas Green, of Musquash; died, Nov. 30, 1827, aged 64 years.
"There was at Fort Howe (St. John, N. B.) in Garrison in 1808, a regiment which had been recruited largely out of the British prisons in the exigencies of the French War. It was the IOIst of the line, and was frequently referred to as the 'Hundred and Worst.' The officers were capable men but the rank and file were a hard lot. There were frequent floggings, and the Colonel said of his men that they were 'bad everything, except bad soldiers.' On the Battle field they were all right.
Now for the tragedy. Henry Baldwin, James Lannon and Patrick McEvoy, privates in the IOIst regiment at Fort Howe, deserted Oct. 17, 1808. A party sent to Musquash in pursuit of them failed to find them. On the 23rd of Oct., the deserters called at the house of Ebenezer Scott, at Musquash, to inquire the way to Dipper Harbor. Clayton Tilton, living about two hundred yards from Scott's, con- cluded it his duty to arrest the deserters, and with two men, his own servant, Frederick Storm, and Burdett, his neighbor Scott's man, attempted to stop the deserters. In the attempt Clayton Tilton was shot and killed by Henry Baldwin with his musket. The deserters then took to the woods and made their escape, but were captured some days afterwards on an island in Passamaquoddy Bay, on their way to the United States, by a party of the Charlotte County militia, and carried before a magistrate of that County, by whose order they were sent to St. John for trial. The prisoners were found guilty and sen- tenced to be executed. Patrick McEvoy was recommended by the jury for mercy, he being a youth between 18 and 19 years of age, and having taken no active part in the murder of Tilton; and his comrades having testified that he had been persuaded by them to desert.
Baldwin and Lannon were hanged near the Block House Hill, corner of King and Wentworth Streets, on the 23rd November, just one month from the day the crime was committed. Justice was swift in those days. At the execution, the rope broke with each of the prisoners, and the unfortunate men had to remain standing under the gallows till the messenger went to the South Wharf (half a mile away) and returned with a new rope. Some few years since some street laborers, digging about the place, turned up some bones and fragments of red cloth to which military buttons were attached, evidently the remains of these two unfortunate fellows who were buried under the gallows."

HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
Deeds on record at Freehold, N. J., show that one, Samuel Tilton, married Micah, daughter of Cyrenious Van Mater, prior to June 5, 1802, when they convey to her brother, William Van Mater, the life interest which was theirs in property that had been left to her son, Cyrenious V. Tilton, by his grandfather, after whom he was named. Cyrenious V. Tilton and his sister, Mary Tilton, were left a legacy by their aunt, Mary Van Mater, in her will of 1813. It would seem as though they were of Middletown. And probably it was he whose name appears in the New York City Directories for 1834 to 1839, as Cyreno Tilton, mariner, and Tyreno Tilton, mate.
In the burying ground of the Methodist Church, at Little Silver, N. J., are stones to the memory of Elizabeth Bennett, daughter of Samuel and Martha A. Bennett, and wife of Edward Tilton, and to their two infant children, Ida and Sammie Tilton. Eliza- beth (Bennett) Tilton was born Jan. 25, 1845, and died June 9, 1871.
On record at Trenton, N. J., is the will of a Peter Tilton, supposed by some to have been 83, of Middlesex Co., N. J., dated the "twetieseventh day of September in 1794," which was proved before Anthony W. White, Surrogate of Middlesex Co., May 25, 1801, and letters issued to Robert Tilton and Robert Karson. In it he mentioned:
Peter Tilton Smith, to whom he left a "walking cain with Ivery head." All the rest of his estate to his five children viz .: Elizabeth, Robert, Rebeckah, William and Lidia. Executors: son, Robert, and Robert Karson. Witnesses: John Smith, Sarah Nixon, Mary Smith.
There were resident in Holmdel township in 1880, when the Census was taken, Benjamin Tilton, born 1843, and Rebecca, his wife, born 1847, with their children, Elisa B., born 1869; Francis, born 1870; Joseph, born 1872; Alice, born 1875, and Ada born, 1877. Along with their names was that also of Elisa W. Tilton, born 1806, who was doubtless the mother of Benjamin Tilton.

WILLIAM TILTON, of Lynn, had at least two wives. By the first he had issue a son, Peter Tilton. He married again, one Susannah . . . . . , who, upon his demise, married Roger Shaw, and moved with him to Hampton. This is well proven by the following assertion; that "Roger Shaw and last wife Susannah that Roger Shaw should give the children she had by her first husband, as follows, to Samuel Tilton, her eldest son, £30 at age. Samuel Tilton acknowledges receipt from Joseph Shaw, executor of Roger Shaw, June 12, 1661." Also Roger Shaw agreed to pay Daniel Tilton, son of William Tilton, of Lynn, deceased, £io. And Samuel Tilton, guardian of Daniel, acknowledges the receipt of same from Joseph Shaw, executor, Apr. 13, 1663.
William Tilton was an old resident of Lynn, about 1640, and was then, apparently, somewhat advanced in years, for, in 1646, the Essex Court records state that William Tilton was freed from training but was to keep his arms fixed. And, again, in 1649, William Tilton was freed from training on account of his age. From this data I am inclined to deduce the birth of William as having occurred about 1580, and of his son Peter, approximately about 1605-10. Presuming these dates to be correct, the migra- tion of father and son probably took place not far from 1635.
