I have just found a thick, neatly typed document in my father's files, obviously prepared by a professional genealogist or someone almost so. This document was left to him by his Aunt Edith TILTON GORRELL MOULTON on her death in 1954. (Edith was niece to George Henry TILTON who worked very closely with Francis TILTON in the preparation of his book and whose photograph appears on p. 50 of the said book. Edith herself was very interested in the family history and took her research most seriously.) The dates on the upper right-hand corner go from Apr '52 to Jan '53, presumably when the document was typed. There is no indication who typed the document or of any sources. Having said this, the document is extremely detailed, giving places and dates of birth and death, names of spouses and of spouses parents and their place of origin, no marriage dates, however, names and dob/d for children, spouses, etc., etc. Beginning in 1793 and ending Dec 1952. It would appear that this was prepared as part of a follow-up chapter of one branch of the TILTON family had Francis TILTON and heirs continued with the original book. Example of presentation of material: Page 1 TILTON-BATCHELDER 1. Stephen TILTON born at Loudon, N.H., Sept. 29, 1793 died at San Bruno, Cal., Dec 17, 1867 married Julia Batchelder (daughter of William BATCHELDER and Olive Ladd) born at Northfield, N.H., Mar. 31, 1799 died at San Francisco, Mar. 23, 1881 Children: Joseph Sullivan I Susan II Olive III Stephen S.

Their names are too numerous for me to go into here. Locations are primarily San Francisco, San Bruno, San Mateo. Unfortunately, this document doesn't help me with my great brick wall which is, can anyone help me find a birth record, anywhere, for Julia BATCHELDER, daughter of William BATCHELDER and Olive LADD, b. Northfield NH Mar 31 1799 d. San Mateo CA Mar 23 1881 and who were William BATCHELDER's parents!!! The original Stephen Tilton was my ggggrandfather. I have transcribed most of this document on my FTM and would be happy to do look-ups. Magdalena Gorrell Guimaraens Northern Portugal
