Unfortunately my source did not transfers from the olds Roots III to my current database.The only information I have is the author was Beers (It may have been a History of Washington Co., PA. Beers states: "Daniel Tilton son of John and Elizabeth Paden Tilton, born Feb 6, 1815, on his father's farm near Pleasant Grove, died March 4, 1890.His education was received in the schools of the period, and his boyhood was passed in attending them and assisting with farm duties.He also partially learned the carpenter and cooper trades.In 1835 he was married to Abigail Pratt, who died in 1859, leaving him one child, Mary, now the wife of Henry Enlow, of East Findley Township.Five other children were born to them, but none lived to an adult age.On August 23, 1860, Mr. Tilton was united in marriage with Mrs.Elmira Jackmanand to their union...[see children named elsewhere.]In 1838 Mr. Tilton purchased a part of the "Old Byers" tract of land, situated about three miles south of Claysville, in East Findley Township, where he successfully followed the vocation of a farmer the rest of his life.He was a zealous Christian, liberal contributor and hearty supporter of the Pleasant Grove Baptist Church of which he was a member and deacon.Politically, he was a Republician..."Elmira Jackman was Elmira Whiting, by her first marriage.Hope this helps.
