| - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - son of William HILTON and Ellen MAINWARING - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - HILTON, Edward, first permanent settler of N.H., son of William, of Northwich, co. Chester, prob. he who was bp. at Northw. (Witton chapelry) 9 June 1596. The record, now prob. illeg., was read 'son of Richard' by the vicar in 1920, and 'son of William' by a superannuated antiquary some yrs. later. The historian Hubbard's statement that Edward and William were brothers, however, seems unquestionable. Apprent. to Marie, wid. of Charles Hilton of London, he was adm. to the Fishmongers Co. 9 Apr. 1621 (nup. apprent. Mrie Hilton - late apprentice of Marie Hilton - a final reading from the original record), and in the subsidy list of the Lond. companies of 1641 'In New England' is marked ag. his name. He likely made a voyage to Piscataqua with trading goods and began a plantation, unrecorded, in 1628, the yr. set by his personal friends and purchasers of his patent for his arrival, and 9 June 1628 when the plantations agreed to send Thomas Morton back to England., he contrib. �1. The earliest contemp. rec. of him and Wm. together, either in England. or here, are the livery of <can't read> of his Squamscot patent, dated 12 Mar. 1629-30, wit. by Wm. 7 July 1631. E.H. was evidently back in London, waiting on Sir f. Gorges with Mr. Lewis, when the patents were gr. These doc. empower E.H., gent., to make livery of the two on the Saco, and Mr. Lewis to do the same for Hilton at Squamscot. Whether Hilton came over at once and went back to sell his patent to the Bristol men is quest. Godfrey knew and told it best: 'A Pattent granted to Ed. Hilton, by him sould to merchants of Bristoll they sould it to my Lo: Say and Brokes, they to some of Shrwsbury'; and confirm. by Winthrop: 'Pascataquack, which the Lord Say and the Lord Brook had purchased of the Bristol men.' The patent recited: Hilton's Point lying some two leagues from the mouth of the river, having already at his own cost & charge transplanted sundry servants . . . where they have already built some houses. Hilton was in control at Dover Neck 4 Dec. 1632 when Winthrop recd. letters from Capt. NEAL and W.H. that they had sent 4 vessells and 40 men to protect Pemaquid from Dixie Bull. He contin. the Bristol men's gov. until 10 Oct. 1633, when Capt. Wiggin Err. in Boston to take over the patent for the two Lords. He then set up for himself betw. Dover and Exeter. When Mass. stepped in, the Gen. Ct. in Oct. 1641 ordered that Francis Williams and E.H., with two magistrates from Boston, should constitute the County Ct., and he was named again in 1642. In 1652 Exeter voted that he go with Mr. Dudley to the Gen. Ct. to assist him. Selectman, Exeter, 1645, 1646, 1651. When Charles II came in, Hilton prov. to be a strong loyalist, and in 1665 was arrested for sedition. We know nothing of his wives until he m., soon aft. 1654, Catherine (Shapleigh) TREWORGYE. Last ment. alive 19 May 1669, his four sons adm. in their own wrong, and a yr. or more passed bef. the ct., on petn. of Chr. Palmer on behalf of their two sisters, summonsed them to bring an invent. to ct., which they did Mar. 1670-1. Inv. �2204.

Descend. to our day are in good repute. [ref 20] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - HILTON, Edward, with his brother William and Mr. David Thompson, fishmonger's from London, began a plantation at Piscataqua in 1623. Exhaustive of the records of the Fishmonger's Company of London in 1907 failed to find any occurence of either of these names; but a tax-roll of the city, made in 1641, gives the name of Edward Hilton in the list of Fishmongers, 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 plantation and received the patent for the land -- The Squamscott Patent, so-called, which covered what is now known as Dover, Durham, Stratham and parts fo Newington and Greenland, etc. The Council for New England, "for and in consideration that Edward Hilton and his Associates hath already at his and their own proper costs and charges transported sundry 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 Assistance 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 or 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. Pollession was given in the name of the Council by Capt. Thomas Wiggin and others 7 July, 1631. 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 gighest questions and acting by themselves in cases not beyond certain limits. The Gen. Court held him to be exempt from taxation on this account in 1669. He filled many important positions and was regarded highly. He m.

She must have been much older than her brother Nicholas, as she said in a petition of his behalf to the General Court of Mass. Bay, May 7, 1674, referring, probably, to his being deprived of a mother in infancy, "I nursed him at my breast (which I canot forgett)"; she also refers to her father thus: "About 38 years since, in a time of great scarcity, our ffather laid out a good estate for the supply of this Countrey and the settling some part of it. & in a season of there want supplyed them soe reasonably with provisions, that it was thankfully receipted, & acknowledged by the authority then in being." etc. [ref 44:185] Mrs. Katharine Hilton, dau. of Alexander Shapleigh, wife, first of James Treworthy, second of Edward Hilton, made nunc. will, attested at Hampton Court 30 May, 1676.

At the age of nineteen she married her first husband James Treworgye on the sixteenth day of March 1617, at Brixham, England. She married her second husband Edward Hilton soon after 1654, in New Hampshire, she had no children by him. Katherine came with her father and brother Alexander to Devonshire, after the death of Marguerite Chaple, on the fourth day of August 1606, and emigrated to Kittery, Maine, with her father and brothers, in 1635. In the summer of 1650, after the death of Katherine's husband, she claimed, without success, a right in the estate of her father who was recently deceased, which was then in the course of settlement before Governor Godfrey, at a Court held in the city of Agamenticus, for the Province of Maine. The date of her marriage to Mister Edward Hilton, "the father of the settlement of New Hampshire. It may have been after the marriage of her daughter Elizabeth to John Gilman, of Exeter, the place of Mister Hilton's residence, as her brother Nicholas and family resided at Kittery, and she would have no apparent inducement to visit Exeter till after the alliance with Gilman. Katherine died before the thirtieth day of May 1676, at Exeter, New Hampshire.
