Biography/Pictures

Sarah (Sara) TILDEN - married 13 Mar 1636 at Scituate, Ma. to servant George Sutton. George Sutton arrived in Boston, Mass., in 1634 on the ship Hercules. George 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 devoted 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 "Sutton's Creek," so named because it bordered the lands of George Sutton and his sons.
