John H. Tilton (1846-____)
J. H. Tilton is a leading citizen of Pease township, Belmont county, Ohio. Mr. Tilton was born 08 May 1846, the son of Joel and Cynthia A. (Hartzell) Tilton.
Joel Tilton was born 10 March 1813, in the state of Ohio, Jefferson county. Cynthia Hartzell first saw the light in Somerset county, Pennsylvania, 04 November 1811.
Joel Tilton's father was Joseph Tilton, who was born near the headwater 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 on 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 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 pioneer log school-house.
His father deeded his brother and himself a part of the old homestead in Belmont county, the deed being dated 10 December 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, 21 December 1834, and their marriage was blessed by the birth of five sons and two daughters named:
1. Noah J., born 03 May 1836
2. Mary McKin, now living in Kansas City, was born 19 August 1838
3. Indiana (Darrah) was born 10 March 1841, now a resident of Jefferson county
4. Joseph was born 02 November 1843, lives near Bethany, West Virginia

7. George W., born 25 June 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.

The wives of Joel, Noah J. and John H., reside on the Joel Tilton homestead, and the sons, John and Noah, operate the farm. They raise large crops of grain and are prosperous and thorough agriculturists. The family stand very high in the community.
