Till Family

Thirty-plus years of research on my branch of the Till family currently indicates that Peter Till immigrated from Germany in the mid-1700's.  Documents indicate that he initially settled in Salem County, New Jersey, then moved to Middlesex and eventually settled in Morris County in 1804. 

For almost 30 years, I believed that my Till ancestors descended from the Welsh Tills, dating to the mid-1500's, who immigrated from Wales and settled in Philiadelphia, PA, in 1711 and are traced through the Lloyd Manuscripts.   The closeness of Salem County to Philiadelphia, as well as the frequency of names such as Samuel, William and John used in both families, seemed to indicate a connection.   My problem was a gap from 1711 to the mid-1700's with no source documentation to connect the lines.  I recently obtained a death certificate on one of Peter Till's sons which lists his place of birth as Germany.  I decided however, to still list my documentation on the Welsh/Philadelphia Tills in the hope that it may prove useful to others.

"Verified" information on the following pages is based on source documents such as marriage, death or birth certificates, as well as census records, tax records and books/manuscripts.  All source documents are listed in GREEN.  Surnames are listed in RED.   Eventually, links to scanned copies of source documents will be listed in BLUE.   "Unverified" information is listed as such, but is provided since they may be pieces to the still unfinished puzzle.   

Good Luck in your search,

John Cresseveur
