I' m not related to the Tilton's but have information regarding Silvester Tilton and family:
181 Silvester Tilton, son of Silvester Tilton, 123; married first Mary (Hull?); second, July 11, 1818, according to the records at Freehold, NJ, Mary Falkinburg, widow of Caleb Falkinburg, and daughter of Samuel Woodansee. Salter, in his History of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, says she was born in 1799, and that Caleb Falkinburg died Jan. 8, 1815, and signed his will in 1817. It is evident that Salter is mistaken both in the date Mary's birth, and also either in the date of Caleb's making his will or his death date.
1831, Sept. 30. Silvester Tilton, of Dover, and Mary, his wife, convey to Amos Faulkingurg and Reuben Tilton one piece of land, formerly belonging to Gabriel Woodmansee; also the one quarter part of a Cedar Swamp that formerly belonged to Gabriel Woodmansee, deceased, had been alotted to his heirs, and had been conveyed by Samuel Brinleyand wife to the said Silvester Tilton, by deed dated Aug. 1, 1814.
1832, Apr. 28. Reuben Tilton and Amos Faulkinburg and Rebecca, his wife, convey this property to Samuel Parker.
Silvester Tilton, with his wife and part of his family, moved to Ohio, and settled in Highland Co. He made his will there signing it with his mark, Feb.13, 1847, and it was proved May 6, 1847. In it he calls himself of Fairfield township and mentioned:
....my loving wife, Mary Tilton; my daughter Rebecca Johnson; my son John Tilton: my son, Reuben Tilton; my son, James Tilton; the heirs of my daughter Mariah Kennedy, deceased; the heirs of my daughter Charrity Gravatt, deceased; the heirs of my son Silvester Tilton, deceased; my daughter Lydia Ann Hansell. Executor: my friend, William Rahorn.
Issue by his first wife:
291 Silvester Tilton, oldest son, of Forked River, N.J.; married Jane Stout.
292 John Hull Tilton born Apr. 1, 1804; married, 1826, Deborah Matthes born July 18, 1807.
293 Reuben Tilton married Elizabeth Grant.
294 Rebecca Tilton married Isrel Johnson.
Issue by second wife:
295 James Tilton, of Red Lion, Warren C., Ohio; married and had a large family.
296 Ephraim Tilton died in Ohio, after his mother; not mention in his father's will.
297 Charity Tilton married Mr. Gravatt.

[Mariah Kennedy was mention as a daughter in her father's will but was not listed as one of his "issue" by either of his wives; thought this was odd so I did double check. There was not any follow-up on Mariah Kennedy. Transcribed as printed in book.]
