these contenders, one was Marmaduke Tilden,
son of Charles; the other was Marmaduke (?-ca.
1802), son of Marmaduke Tilden (?-1816). Mar-
maduke, son of Charles, was probably not the
legislator because he is listed in the 1783 assess-
ment as a single man without property. Marma-
duke (?-ca. 1802) was younger, less wealthy, and
less prominent than his father, and so is a less
likely candidate for the term of service. Mar-
maduke Tilden (?-1816) was chosen because of
his age and his wealth. Of the three men by that
name, he was also the most active politically.
