Excerpt: ... SUPPLEMENT NOTES ON THE ORIGIN OF THE TILDEN NAME AND FAMILY. This paper is the fruit, partly of a collection formed by throwing into a drawer during many years, almost without plan or definite purpose, memoranda of particular facts which came casually to the collector, and partly by special investigations caused by him at intervals. These materials have now been examined and collated during the leisure moments of a few weeks, under a sense that this work could only be done with the aid of a memory supplying the connections between the scattered materials, and that the information might be of interest -- perhaps of utility -- to the younger members of the family. A knowledge of one''s descent from a line of virtuous, honorable, and reputable ancestors who performed worthily their part in their day and generation, and who enjoyed the esteem of their contemporaries, is an incentive to emulate their example. That a heredity in mental and moral as well as in physical capacities and qualities exists, at least as a tendency, has been recognized in all ages, although the laws bv which it is governed have never been ascertained. How blest is he who his progenitors With pride remembers, to the listener tells The story of their greatness, of their deeds, And silently rejoicing, sees himself The latest link of this illustrious chain. For seldom does the self-same stock produce The monster and the demi-god; a line Of good or evil ushers in at last The glory or the terror of the world. 1 On the large map of the county of Kent in England, published by the government, on a scale of one inch to the mile, from what is called the Ordnance Survey, the name of Tilden appears in four places.
