Mr. Prior's successor was Rev. George Henry Tilton, who was
born in Nashua, N.H., Jan. 31, 1845. He was the son of William
Wells and Sarah Ann (Morrill) Tilton, descended through his
father from the Tiltons of New Hampshire, for whom the town
of Tilton was named; and through his mother from the Morrills
and Aliens of Amesbury and Salisbury, Mass. His great-great-
grandfather was Col. Henry Morrill of Revolutionary fame. Sir
Hugh Morrill was presented with the Morrill coat of arms in the
fifteenth year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth. His ancestor
Capt. Jacob Allen was killed in the battle of Saratoga, Sept. 19,
1777. The Tilton family traces its ancestry back to Everard
(Sir) Ix)rd of Tilton and Drystoke, ancestor of Sir Kenelni Digby,
Knight, styled "The ornament of England.*' The town of Tilton
in England was in existence prior to the time of William the Con-
queror. The original family was Digby de Tilton, but the **Digby"
was dropped, becoming a branch name, but both use the Digby
coat of arms. John Tilton came to Lynn in 1642, and a brother

George married Ella Minerva Mann, daughter of Thomas Stanley Mann and Minerva Wheaton Freeman, on 6 Jun 1876 in Massachusetts. (Ella Minerva Mann was born in May 1852 in Attleboro Bristol Massachusetts and died on an unknown date.)
