Easy Google Genealogy searcher helps you use Google to find websites relating to your family.

Don't Know the Exact Year?
With Google, you can search for a range of years. If you are not sure of the year, but you have an approximate idea, do a number range search.
Some examples are:
- ship passenger list 1850..1860
- obituary 1920..1925
- John Smith Pennsylvania 1901..1980

We are definitely related. I am also a descendant of the Shrewsbury Dennis'. The name Tilton is also part of Harrison genealogy (from Shrewsbury/Red Bank). Do you know where the Tilton's were from or any of their past? You probably already have the info from the old Presbyterian Church graveyard in Shrewsbury listing the many Dennis gravesites there.
Hi, I have lots of information on the Dennis's to share if you are interested. What branch of the family are you from? My mom went to the church you mention as a girl, and she showed me all my relatives markers in the graveyard there. Thats how I became interested in tracing my genealogy in the first place.
I have not personally researched the Tilton surname yet, what I do know is that my great-grandmother Elizabeth Tilton of Eatontown was the daughter of William Tilton and Elizabeth Hance of Scobeyville, Monmouth County. Probably Quakers. (Scobeyville was a village near Eatontown & Shrewsbury.)
The published genealogies on the Tiltons I have seen show a connection back to Richard Lippincott of Shrewsbury, one of the first settlers there circa 1665. You have to take the published lines with a grain of salt, I have seen several listings I know are errors. So they make a great place to start from, but you really need to do the research to find out how accurate they are.
If you do a google search you can find a very good website on the Tilton surname that has a page about the Monmouth county families, as I recall.
In any event, there are many Tiltons in Monmouth county , and they have lived there for many generations.
