I can't help you with the Craig side of this, but if you could get your Tiltons back one or two more generations you will most likely find that you are a descendant of William Tilton of Massachusetts. He is the progenitor of most of the Tiltons in the US. I have a very good book on them, but they stopped the lineage in the early 1800s. So if you can get to around 1800-1820, then I think I can tie you into the rest. My Tiltons came out to Indiana, and many went on west to CA........and there are still many in Ohio, New Jersey, New York, MA, ME, and NH. Good luck. P.S. have you tried the Tilton GenForum to try and place your Charles Tilton? There are many good researchers on there and you might find him and his Craig connection. -----Original Message----- From: Craig Beeman <crb@ponyexpress.net> To: CRAIG-L@rootsweb.com <CRAIG-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Sunday, October 01, 2000 2:49 AM Subject: [CRAIG-L] CRAIG & TILTON families - Looking for Cousins! >"Hello again Cousins!" > >Might anyone of you be familiar with the following CRAIG family of >Vermilion Co., IL?
