J. H. TILTON is a leading citizen of Pease township, Belmont county, Ohio. Mr. Tilton was born May 8,1846, the son of Joel and Cynthia A. (Hartzell) Tilton. Joel Tilton was born March 10, 1813, in the state of Ohio, Jefferson county. Cynthia Hartzell first saw the light in Somerset county, Penn., November 4, 1811. Joel Tilton's, father was Joseph Tilton, who was born near the headwaters of the Buffalo, in the state of Pennsylvania. His wife, Mary, was also a native of the same place. Joseph came to Ohio with his parents in 1775, and settled in Warren township, Jefferson county, Ohio. Here he went to work in the woods, and by great toil and energy he acquired one of the finest farms in the county, consisting of 640 acres. He was exposed to all the hardships incidental to a pioneer life, often after laboring all day in clearing his land he would be obliged to keep watch at night for the approach of hostile Indians. The Yorkville coal works are now situated on this farm. Joseph and Mary Tilton were the parents of twelve children. The father died at the age of ninety-three years three months and eleven days. His first permanent residence still stands as a monument to the enterprise of this man; it is over one hundred years old. Joel, the youngest child born to these parents, was raised in Jefferson county, and was educated in the old piopeer log school-house. His father deeded his brother and himself a part of the old homestead. In Belmont county, the deed being dated December 10, 1838, the witnesses being Dr. S. B. West and John Zane. The instrument was drawn up by John Beazle. He was married to Cynthia A. Hartzell, December 21, 1834, and their marriage was blessed by the birth of five sons and two daughters, named: Noah J., born May 3, 1836; Mary McKin, now living in Kansas City, was born August 19, 1838; Indiana (Darrah) was born March 10, 1841, now a resident of Jefferson county; Joseph was born November 2, 1843, lives near Bethany, W. Va.; John H., born May 8, 1846; Francis H., born November 28, 1848, lives near Tiltonsville; George W., born June 25, 1851, he lives on the farm formerly owned by J. West. The dividing line between Belmont and Jefferson counties runs through his house, so that he can vote in either county. Joel Tilton died February 3, 1873. His son, John H., was ap- pointed administrator of the estate. The wives of Joel, Noah J., and John H., reside on the Joel Tilton homestead, and the sons, John and Noah, operate the farm.
