I'm not sure where you got this information, but nearly all histories of the early Tilton family in the US agree there is a New England branch, headed by William. Perhaps this Hadley story was from a descendant of William's sons?<br />Francis Tilton's History gives this:<br />The first representatives of this family in this country were William Tilton and John Tilton who emigrated from England and settled at Saugus (Lynn), Massachusetts, between the year 1630 and 1640.<br />*William Tilton Brother of John Tilton*<br />William Tilton (the founder of the New England branch of the family).<br />Both John and William Tilton were men of education. <br />William Tilton was a freeman in Lynn and was engaged in the settlement of estates,<br />Sons: Probably by first wife:<br />1.

He never left there and was one of the original founders of that town. He was close to his half brothers, who had moved to New Hampshire from eastern Mass. He went down in history because he concealed several of the "Regicides," people who assisted in the murder of King Charles I. How they did that from America, I don't know for sure, but it's in the history of Hadley. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
