1. SAMUEL TILTON, (William1), of whom a biographical sketch has been given in Vol. II, Annals of C., pp. 39-40, is the ancestor of all of the name on the Island, although John Tilton (500) a descendant of the New Jersey family of the name came to C. abt. the middle of the 18th century and m. JANE TILTON (85) by whom he had eleven children. No additional facts have been found concerning the pioneer or his ancestry. As he came to the Vineyard with Isaac Chase, a Quaker, and was related to him by marriage, and Parson Homes, in his diary states that he was "against swearing", i. e. in taking the legal oath in the name of Deity, it is a strong inference that he was a Quaker, or in accord with their beliefs.
