52 ANCESTORS IN 52 WEEKS 2018 WEEK 48: STEPHEN TILDEN OF MARSHFIELD, MA.

I haven't found much yet about 8x great grandfather Stephen Tilden. William Richard Cutter has a very brief description:

Stephen Tilden, son of Nathaniel Tilden (1), born in England about 1630-34; married, 1661, Hannah, daughter of Thomas Little, of Marshfield. He resided most of the time at Marshfield. Children: 1. Hannah, born 1662. 2. Stephen, 1663. 3. Abigail, 1666. 4. Mary, 1668. 5. Judith, 1670. 6. Joseph, 1672. 7. Mercy, 1674. 8. Ruth, 1676. 9. Isaac, 1678.10. Ephraim, born 1680. 11. David,-p. 1927

I learned from several other online sources that Stephen Tilden made several land purchases in what is now Lebanon, Connecticut, where two of his sons settled. A third son moved to Hebron, Connecticut.

Stephen's wife Hannah Little was the granddaughter of Mayflower passenger Richard Warren.

Stephen and his wife Hannah are among the names on the First Settler Monument at Winslow Cemetery in Marshfield, although Hannah's name is given as Ann.
