HILTON,
Edward, with his brother William and Mr. David Thomp- son, fishmongers from London, began a plantation at Piscat- aqua in 1623. [Hub.] Exhaustive search of the records of the Fishmongers' Company of London, made by the compiler in 1907, failed to find any occurrence of either of these names ; but a tax-roll of the city, made in 1641, [Lay Sub. 251, 22], brought to light by Mr. Gerald Fothergill, [Extracts in Reg. LXI], gives the name of Edward Hilton in the list of fish- mongers, with the memorandum, "Newe England" after it. This indicates that he had certainly been in business there and had continued the shipment and sale of fish there up to a recent date. No trace of his parish or family has been found, nor the name of his first wife. He was the leader of the plan- tation and received the patent for the land -- The Squamscott Patent, so-called, which covered what is now known as Dover, Durham, Stratham and parts of Newington and Greenland, etc. The Council for New England, "for and in considera- tion that Edward Hilton and his Associates hath already at his and their own proper costs and charges transported sun- dry servants to plant in New England at a point called by the natives Wecanacohunt otherwise Hilton's Point, lying some two leagues from the mouth of the River Pascataquack . . . where they have already built some houses and planted corne, And for that he doth further intend by God's Divine Assist- ance to transport thither more people and cattle ... a work which may especially tend to the propagation of Religion and to the great Increase of Trade," . . . convey to him "all that part of the River Pascataquack called of known by the name of Wecanacohunt or Hilton's Point ... with the south side of the River up to the ffall of the River and three miles into the Maine land by all the breadth aforesaid" etc., etc. Possession was given in the name of the Council by Capt. Thomas Wig- gin and others 7 July, 1631. [Sup. Court Files, also Reg. XXIV, 264.] Part of this land was sold to individual settlers, part to the lords Say and Brook and some N. E. gentlemen. Mr. Hilton made his home after some time at Exeter; signed petition of inhabitants in 1642. Was that year appointed by the Mass. Bay govt. one of the local associate justices of the Court. sitting with the magistrates on the highest questions and act- ing by themselves in cases not beyond certain limits. The Gen. Court held him to be exempt from taxation on this ac- count in 1669. He filled many important positions and was regarded highly. He m. (2) 6he , dau. of Mr. Alexander

-
Shapleigh and widow of James Treworgy, q. v. He d. before March 6, 1670-1, when admin. of his estate was granted to his sons Edward, William, Samuel and Charles; the claims of two daus. were presented by Christopher Palmer. Widow's dower to be £30 per quarter.
William, came in the Fortune to Plymouth in Nov. 1621. His wife and children came in the Anne in 1623, and lands were assigned to the family that year. Mr. Hilton wrote soon after his arrival a letter of great historical and personal value which was published by Capt. John Smith in his "New Eng- land's Trialls" in the edition of 1622. The name of the per- son addressed has not yet been found. He tells his "Cousin" (nephew) that he "found all our friends and planters in good health" in spite of trials they had endured; the land and pro- ductions excellent ; "the companie for the most part very re- ligious, honest people; the word of God sincerely taught us every Sabbath : so that I know not anything a contented mind can here want." Adds to the account the following wish : "J desire your friendly care to send my wife and children to me where I wish all the friends I have in England." Signs him- self "Your loving kinsman William Hilton." Other letters of his are extant which show him to have been well educated and eminently intelligent and well-informed. His family stayed at Plymouth after he began the plantation at Piscataqua, and the baptizing of his babe by Rev. John Lyford, a thorn in the sides of the Puritan Pilgrims, was the occasion of the banish- ment of the Church of England partisans from Plymouth col- ony to Nantasket. But the letter above quoted from is cvi- dence that Mr. Hilton was on the best of terms with the Pil- grims. His son William, years afterward, applying for con- firmation of a deed of land near the present city of Concord, N. H., from the Indian sagamore Tahanto, affirms that his father removed from Plymouth in a short time after the ar- rival of his mother and the children. Mr. Hilton threw his influence on the side of the Mass. Bay govt. ; was appointed a commissioner for trial of cases not above 20 shillings in 16.12; freeman of the colony that year ; deputy to Gen. Court in 1644. He resided near his brother in the vicinity of Dover some years; then rem. to Kittery and afterward to York. Carried on a ferry; kept public house; was one of the selectmen, etc. He d. before June 30, 1656, when his widow Frances' second husband, Richard White, admin. on his estate.
A possible clue to the connections of the Hiltons with Eng- lish families may be found in the fact that a suit was brought
