"The first Tilden of whom we have record in America was Captain Richard Tilden of England who died in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, October, 1762. He Married Anna Meyer, born in New York, August 31, 1731, daughter of John Meyer and Elizabeth (Pell) Meyer and granddaughter of William and Elizabeth (Van Tuyl) Pell.
