Sir: 
I have to advise you, that form the records of this Burearu, it appears that Charles Tilden's name appears on a list of applicants for invalid pensions, from New Hamp-shire on Feb 28, 1975, as a resident of Lebanon, N.H. who served as a private in Captain Vail's Company, Colonel Warner's Regiment, and who, while at Montreal, in 1775, incurred debility of both arms, occasioned by being pinioned to a bed with cords tied round his arms, while in a state of insanity; but as his disability did onto proceed from any known wound, he was not entitled under the pension law. 
The above noted, is the only Charles Tilden found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau.  There is no data on file as to his family. 
Respectfully,
Washington Gardner
Commissioner.
