Notes for THOMAS TILDEN:
Thomas Tilden acquired lands in Sussex (possibly through his third wife, Alice.) It is not clear that he ever resided there. He was named eleventh Jurat in Queen Elizabeth's Charter for Tenterden, dated 1600. He removed to Wye where he held lands. His son Thomas lived in Wye also. The date of, and reasons for, his removal is not clear. His oldest son (third child) Nathaniel, our first American Ancestor, remained in Tenterden, became Jurat, then Mayor in 1622, an emigrated with his family to America, in 1634-5. (Tilden Family Our English Ancestors)
Between 1604 and 1614, Thomas Tilden moved from Tenterden and went, perhaps, to East Guilford, County Sussex, which is ot much beyond the border from Tenterden, as he possessed considerable real estate there according to his will. (Tilden Family Our English Ancestors)
More Notes for THOMAS TILDEN: He married three times. He married Alice BIGGE March 10, 1575/6 in Tenterden, Kent, England. Alice was born in Benenden, Kent, England. She is the daughter of Robert BIGGE and Elizabeth (BIGGE). Alice died at age unknown. Her body was interred May 13, 1593 in Tenterden, Kent, England. He married Elinor HUBBARD November 13, 1593 in Tenterden, Kent, England. Elinor was born circa 1545 in maybe, Rolvenden, Kent, England. Her body was interred July 22, 1601 in Ashford, Kent, England.(23) An article about the Cushman family in N.E.H.G. Register (April, 1914) shows her three marriages in parish registers, extracts the wills of her first two husbands. Her son, Robert Cushman, is said to have probably been he who was "the agent of the Leyden Pilgrims in England." The article argues that if Thomas Tilden's last son, Freegift, was of his 3rd wife, then Elinor must have died before 1604. The article says her parents are undiscovered. He married Alyce (TILDEN) after 1602. Alyce was born date unknown. Alyce died after 1616/7 at age unknown. John G. Hunt, in English Origins of New England Families, suggests that she may have been Alice Bourne, daughter of Thomas Bourne of Boughton Monchelsea, Kent, whose will was proved June 6, 1608 in the Consistory Court of Canterbury. That Alice Bourne had a brother named Freegift, who inherited lands in Tenterden. However, the will of Thomas Bourne refers only to his daughter Alice, without surname. Thomas's estate was probated June 20, 1617 in Consistory Court, Canterbury, Kent, England.(24)
