General Notes
- Sarah (Sara) TILDEN - married 13 Mar 1636/7 (1641) at Scituate, Ma. to
  servant George SUTTON (born 12 Apr 1613 at Sandwich, Kent Co., England;
  died 12 Apr 1669 in Perquiman Co., N.C.); they had at least 8 and probably
  nine children. George Sutton arrived in Boston, Mass., in 1634 on the ship
  Hercules. He came as a servant to Nathaniel Tilden of Tenterden, Co. Kent,
  England. He may have worked as servant to earn his passage to America.
  George was considered a devote member of the Society of Friends or
  "Quakers" in Mass. In 1668 the persecution of Quakers drove George and
  Sarah, along with some of their children, from Scituate to Perquimans,
  North Carolina. The area had just been opened for settlement for Quakers.
  One of the earliest Quaker Meeting Houses was built toward the end of the
  17th century on "SuttonÆs Creek," so named because it bordered the lands
  of George Sutton and his sons.
