During his residence at Lynn, William Tilton was an appraiser of the estate of Abraham Belknap, in 1643; appraiser of the estate of Francis Lightfoot, in 1646, and administrator of the estate of Edward Lewis, in 1650.
"In 1861," writes Mr. William P. Tilton, of Boston, "my uncle had careful examina- tion made of the records in England, and again in 1873, my great-uncle, General William S. Tilton, had an advertisement placed in the London Times, offering a reward of £5, for proof of the births and baptisms of William, Peter and John Tilton." No success followed these efforts. But data was obtained, shedding light upon the early English family bearing the name of Tilton. These extended references are in the possession of members of the New England family. Two items alone, of what I have seen, suggest

any means of connecting the American with the English family, viz .: (a) "In 1639," writes William P. Tilton, "Rev. Ephraim Huet, the minister of a church in Wroxhall, Warwickshire, with several members of his church, among them Peter Tylton, settled in Dorchester, Mass., being prosecuted for non-conformity, by the Bishop of Worcester. Warwickshire is an adjoining county to Leicestershire, and Leicestershire is the original home of the Tiltons."
(b) "A quo warranto was issued by Charles II, in 1683, against the Governor and Company of Massachusetts, in which he is styled Petru Tylton, Armiger." Vol. V., Mass. Col. Records, and Whitmore's Heraldic Journal, p. 23. These serve to connect him with the family in Leicestershire.

2 PETER TILTON, son of William Tilton, I, probably settled at Windsor, Conn., between 1635 and 1640; he married there, May 10, 1639, Mary . .... ; and if this was a first marriage, it was somewhat belated for his years. In 1659, he was of Hadley, Mass. Peter Tilton was a man of great prominence in New England; he was a Representa- tive to the General Court for many years, and an Assistant, for seven years. He was largely concerned with Mr. Rogers and Mr. Saltonstall, in concealing Goffe and Whalley, the Regicides, and was cited to appear before the British Parliament for befriending them, and it is supposed that one of them was buried in his garden. See Stiles' History of the Judges.

WALL
OF
MONMOUTH COUNTY
WALTER WALL was born in 1619, and came to America from Wiltshire, Eng- 1 land, between the years 1635-1640.
in 1635.
He, seemingly, was the Walter Wall, aged sixteen, transported to St. Christopher's, Hotten's List of Emigrants, p. 126.
He was a resident of New Amsterdam for an uncertain period, and then joined in the settlement of Gravesend, L. I. On the Town Record appear a number of allusions to him:
1645, Aug. 10. He received a plantation.
1654, Sept. 22. He purchased lot No. 14.
1657. He had seven and one-half morgens of land in tillage in Gravesend.
1658, Nov. 9. He purchased lot No. I.
1659. Walter Wall named at Hempstead, L. I., Onderdonck's Hempstead, p. 104, was doubtless the same individual.
Ann Wall, alluded to below, I have not identified, but suspect she was the wife of Walter Wall, as he had one of that name.
SIR HENRY MOODY VS ANTHONY JOHNSON VAN SALEE
The complainant alleges that Johnson Van Salee came to his house and used abusive language. Annetje Wall testified that she was scouring pewter there and Johnson Van Salee asked her what she did there and commanded her to take it away, calling Sir Henry Moody, at the same time, a dog, a rogue and a "skellumme," (i. e. a scallywag-Dutch word), and abused her with evil language. The court fined the defendant 10 guilders, and enjoined him to behave better or fare worse. Gravesend Court Records. Quoted in the pamphlet on "Lady Deborah Moody," by Mr. Girard.
1665. He was one of the Associate Patentees of the Monmouth Patent, and as such, paid £4.
1666 or 1667. He moved to Middletown, N. J., and located upon a farm about two miles to the west of the center of the village, the title to which, in the early part of 1800, was vested in John Stout and Daniel D. Hendrickson.
1667, Dec. 30. Walter Wall, of Middletown, N. J., was awarded lot No. 4; also lot No. 32, outside, in the Poplarfield.

HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
1670. Walter Wall was stated to have paid for shares of land in Middletown, N. J.
1676, Jan. 10. He paid quit-rent of £o-10-2, on two hundred and forty-four acres, in Middletown, N. J.
1677. He paid on two hundred and forty acres in Shrewsbury, N. J.
1679. He also paid quit-rents.
1686. He also paid quit-rents, but the quantity is not mentioned.
1688, May 10. He paid quit-rent of £o-6-0, on one hundred acres, in Middletown, N. J.
1702. He died somewhere about this date, or earlier, as his cattle-mark was then transferred to another, which he originally recorded, in 1668, in the Town Book, of Mid- dletown, N. J., as follows: "a half moone cutt out of the under side off both eares."
1702, Sept. 26. This earmark was recorded to James Cox; 1712, July 21, to Walter Wall, and in 1791, to Cornelius Hendrickson.
Walter Wall signed by his mark.
He married Ann

Walter Wright died intestate 1698, estate being administered by Thomas Cox, with Garret Wall as his bondsman.
Susannah Wright, a minor in 1690, asking for the appointment of Captain John Slocum as her guardian.
6b Probably a daughter who married Thomas Cox, 2.
William Leed's letter to Cox, written I think between 1716 and 1736, says, referring to his rights in a dispute about the title of lands he held; "a little time after we came to Swiming River, Thos Wright and his wife died, and my father planted the land then as Wright had cleared and Jarrat Wall was in a pucker. He would arrest my father for a trespass, ay that he would, but Samuel Leonard met with him and showed him it was out of Stout's power to make a lawful title for any land at Swiming River, the 22 of June, 1676, . ... . and so Jarrat had done and we heard no more for several years, but at last it came into his head that he would get the articles of agreement or writing acknowl- edged and recorded and so let it lye . "
..
3 MARIA or MARY WALL, daughter of Walter Wall, I, is the person probably alluded to below.
1663, June 12. "The corte having heard the difference between Walter Wall and Nathanyell Britton concerning Mary Wall cover [illegible] servant to Nathanyell Britton for two [illegible] years and complaint wase made to the courte of Gravesande but nothing coulde [illegible] be proved nether from the servante

nor by witnise, whereof the corts orders is the sayde servant shall live with her sayde master during her full time, and that sayde Nathanyell doth promise to use the childer well and to find and provide all things convenient for her and at the expiration of her time to give her two suts of clothes and a cow calfe: this in the presence of Will Wilkins, John Cooke, Charles Morgan, Will Goulding, Clarke."
Gravesend, L. I., Court Records.
It is likely that Walter Wall had become a widower, and had bound out his daughter, Mary, a mere child, for her better bringing up, to Nathaniel Britton.
4 JOHN WALL, son of Walter Wall, I, was, probably, born between 1640 and 1650.
1670. John Wall appeared in Middletown, N. J.
As an Associate Patentee, in the purchase of the Monmouth Tract, he paid £3-10. By exclusion, I believe him to be a son of Walter Wall, I.
5 JARRAT WALL, son of Walter Wall, I, was probably born between 1640 and 1650, and resided in Middletown, N. J.
1676, May 22. Gerard or Jarret Wall was a witness to a deed from the Indian chiefs to Richard Hartshorne. Book C., Deeds, p. 1I, Freehold, N. J. Court Records.
It is possible the first Jarret or Garret Wall may have had the English name, Gerard, transformed by the early settlers into the Dutch-Garret.
1680, Apr. 21. He paid a quit-rent on one hundred acres of land, in Middletown, N. J.
1682, Apr. 12. Garret Wall paid a quit-rent on one hundred and seventy acres of land, at Shoal Harbor Creek, Middletown, N. J.
1684, Nov. 28. Garret Wall recorded his earmark.
1685, June 5. He paid quit-rent on one hundred and seventy acres of land, on Manasquan River, Shrewsbury, N. J., which amounted to fo-7-1.
He was quite prominent in Monmouth County: Petty Juryman in 1693; Receiver Taxes, January, 1697, and Foreman of the Grand Jury in 1699.
1696. He recorded his brand-mark.
1700-1701. He was among those who resisted the encroachments of the Pro- prietors; was arrested, but liberated by the people, from the Sheriff's custody, and, in 1700, he aided in the rescue of prisoners, arrested for like offences.
1709. Jarrat and Lydia Wall, [by her mark], deeded land to Daniel Hendrickson. Witness: Walter Wall.
1715, May 5. His cattle and brand marks were conveyed to his son, John.
Lidia, wife of Jarrat Wall, died Apr. 12, 1732. Baptist Church Record, Middle- town, N. y. She was a member of this church in 1712.
1711, Mch. 10. Jarrat Wall made his will, which was proved Nov. 10, 1711-12, and which mentioned his wife, Poolen, alias Lydia Wall, whom he made executrix, with John and Walter Wall, executors, and mentioned his children.
The wife of Jarrat Wall, 5, was probably Pauline, daughter of Clement and Peula or Poulin Masters, of Shrewsbury, N. J.
1675, Nov. 2. Clement and Poulin Masters had one hundred and twenty acres of land and meadow at Shrewsbury, N. J.
1689. Thomas Wainwright, John West and Clement Masters were presented by the Grand Jury, at Shrewsbury, for "playing at nyne pins on ye ffirst day."

"Mary Pew's mother was a French lady named Peula Masters," said Asher Taylor, Esq., but this I consider an error, and the allusion is probably to Mary Pew's mother- in-law.
1713, Oct. 21. John Masters, son and heir-at-law of Francis Masters, late of Shrewsbury, made a conveyance to Francis Masters, son of Clement Masters, of Shrews- bury.

6 REBECCA WALL, daughter of Walter Wall, I, married Richard Mount. In the records of the early Court of Sessions, at Freehold, is the following:
1687, Dec. 29. Richard Mount, plaintif, versus John Johnston, defendant, in a plea for "trespass." "Garret Wall for evidence sayeth the mare as he soposeth to be the mare he gave to his sister Rebecca, Richard Mount's wife, was the same mare," etc. Verdict by the jury for the plaintif; damages £8. The Governor and Proprietors al- lowed an appeal to be taken by Johnston to the Court, at Amboy.
7 JOHN WALL, son of Jarrat Wall, 5, was born circ. 1680-1685, and probably died in the vicinity of 1752, when his son, John, claimed his cattle-mark.
1711, May 8. John Wall, Blacksmith, sold land to Daniel Hendrickson, yeoman. 1712. He was a member of the Baptist Church, Middletown, N. J.
1713. In a deed with his brothers, Walter, Garret and Humphrey, of this year, he calls himself the son and heir of Garret Wall.
1715. John Wall, yeoman, and wife Mary, sold to Elizabeth, daughter of Joseph Grover, and wife of Gershom Stillwell, for £300, the plantation on which Wall lived, and which he received from his father, in 1709, and more from his brother, Jarrat, in 1715. This is now Hendrickson property.
1720. He was a merchant, and on the Grand Jury, in Monmouth County, N. J. 1722 and 1723. John Wall was a Justice in Middletown, N. J.
John Wall, of Middletown, married Mary, daughter of James Hubbard, as appear from deeds prior to 1715. She was born circ. 1689.

HISTORICAL MISCELLANY
17 MARY WALL, daughter of John Wall, 7.
In the Dutch Reformed Church Records, Freehold, N. J., are the following entires, which may refer to this Mary Wall.
Niclaas Wykhof and wife Maria Waal had issue: Jacobus Wykhof baptized Jan. 11, 1738. Witnesses: Elias Covenhoven, etc. Jan Wykhof baptized May 16, 1742
20 MARY WALL, daughter of Jarrat Wall, 8.
Despite the assertion that this Mary Wall married Col. Ludlow, the following de- duction seems to me plausible.
Oct. 31, 1751. John Willet had a license issued to marry Mary Wall; they had a daughter, named Lydia, born Mch. 28, 1752, who married Samuel, son of Samuel and Mary (Passel) Tilton, and named one of their sons, Humphrey Tilton. Undoubtedly Humphrey was indebted for his name to the Wall family, as his mother Lydia if she were the daughter of Jarrat Wall, 20, as appears to have been the case, had a brother and an uncle Humphrey Wall.
22 HUMPHREY WALL, son of Jarrat Wall, 8, was born 1720; died, Apr. 11, 1795, aged 74 years, 9 months and 28 days; married, by license dated Mch. 6, 1765, Elizabeth Ogborn, who was born 1720, and died, Mch. 26, 1800, aged 79 years, 8 months and 9 days, or 79 years, 3 months and 3 days. He was murdered in Burlington County, and "Old Si" was hung for it.
1773. He recorded his earmark, in Middletown, N. J.
1763, Aug. 25. Humphrey Wall, of Monmouth County, had a license to marry Elizabeth Tilton, of Burlington County. She was Elizabeth Thorne, widow of Abraham Tilton, and was born 3mo., 5, 1725. They had an only son son Joseph Wall from whom descended Wall, the New York baker.
1780, November. Humphrey Wall was a member of the jury in Monmouth County. 1785, Jan. 5. Humphrey Wall, of Nottingham, Burlington County, sold to Joseph Wall, of the same place, for £2045, lands which he had bought of Samuel Stevenson in 1775.

"the age and death of our sister burdge. She was born ye 3 day of September 1725, and departed this Life the 2 day of Feb. 1752."
The dates do not agree exactly with those given on page 302, Vol. 2 of Historical Miscellany, but there can be no doubt whatsoever that we have, in the two entries, reference made to the one individual, viz .: Susannah Wall, the wife of Richard Burdge, and the curious thing about it is, that while there is a difference of two years between the epitaph and the Church record, for the date of her death, there is none at all as regards the date of her birth; hence the Church record should probably read 1754 instead of 1752, and this is the more likely as the entries of various years in this record are oft times not clearly separated one from the other.
In this connection it will perhaps be well to note another error, relating to Hannah the daughter of the preceding Susannah (Wall) Burdge.
She is stated to have been born Feb. 15, 1744, and died Aug. 26, 1807, when she would have been 63, 6, 11, instead of 63, 7, II.
After the death of Susannah, Richard Burdge married, for his second wife, Feb. 22, 1757, Hannah Huff.
