The name Tilton comes from "Aelmar" the Saxon, Soc, Man or Lord of Tiletone in Leicestershire, was the first to take the name, A.D. 1040. The Family record during the "Crusades" and later Wars was good. The Noble Family of Digby are from the Tiltons, and they bore the name of Digby De Tilton as1500. The Landed Estates of the Tiltons at Tilton England, were not disposed of until 1639, when small farms were made from the Estates. The old Church, now restored at Tilton, was built by the Family in the early days, and all early Members of the family are buried in the Church yard, and their Tombs are are still in Existance.
