According to "Massachusetts and Maine Families in the Ancestry of Walter Goodwin Davis (1885-1966)" by Walter Goodwin Davis, page 458, Deliverance was the daughter of Francis Littlefield St (The Elder). It also documents that Deliverance was Abraham's second wife. Complete Tilton coverage is on pages 440 to 479. There is a "US, New England Marriage Prior to 1700" record showing Abraham's marriages to (1) Mary Cram and (2) Deliverance Littlefield. In addition, "Ancestors of Heather J. Gilbert, Susan Scott Gilbert and Allyn Ellsworth Gilbert, Jr." by Hilah Scott Gilbert shows Deliverance being born 5 Jul 1655 and marrying Abraham Tilton.
Abraham married Mary Cram 25 Jan 1665/6 in Hampton, NH and the family moved to Kittery, ME soon after. In 1670 the Tiltons removed to Wells where Francis Littlefield Sr (a.k.a. - The Elder) was a Tilton neighbor. Mary released her dower in the 1671/2 deed to Myles Thompson and Israel Hodgsdon, dying within a few years. The first child of Abraham and Deliverance was Sarah, but there is no birth information for her. Their second child was Abigail who was born 1 Apr 1679 in Ipswich, MA.

Deliverance mentions her three step-sons (the children of Mary Cram), calling them "my three sons - Abraham Tilton, Samuel Tilton, & Isaac Tilton" in her will.
