Stoughton Tuttle, born September 30, 1739 at Nottingham, New Hampshire, died October 2, 1812 at said Nottingham.
Revolutionary War data furnished by this office are obtained from plans for pension and bounty land which have been made to the United States, based upon service in that war.
A search of the records fails to show such any claims on file on account of the service of Joseph Hitchcock, Obed Hitchcock, Ephraim Doane, Stoughton Tuttle, or of a Nicholas Tuttle of New Hampshire. The

surnames were searched under various spellings.
The record of Daniel Tilton which follows was obtained from papers on file in pension claim, S.18248, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War. This is the record of the only Daniel Tilton found on file in the Revolutionary War records of this office.
The date and place of birth of Daniel Tilton were not given, nor were the names of his parents stated.
Daniel Tilton enlisted January 1, 1778, and served one year as a private in Captain Daniel Reynolds' company in Colonel Peabody's New Hampshire regiment, and was in the battle of Rhode Island. He enlisted August 1, 1779, and served six months in Captain Ezekiel Worthen's company in Colonel Mooney's New Hampshire regiment.
He was allowed pension on his application executed August 23, 1832, at which time he was aged seventy-two years and living in Meredith, Strafford County, New Hampshire; he then stated that he was formerly of Candia then of Epping, New Hampshire.
He died October 16, 1841.
The papers on file in this claim contain no reference to the family of the soldier, Daniel Tilton.
In order to obtain the name and address of person paid the last payment of this pension, you should apply to The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, Washington, D. C., and furnish the following data-
Daniel Tilton, certificate # 951, issued October 23, 1832, rate $55.88 per annum, commenced March 4, 1831, Act of June 7, 1832, New Hampshire Agency.
