• Edward Hilton married Katherine Shapleigh, daughter of Alexander Shapleigh and a wife (name unknown), after 6 July 1650.^1,5
• Edward Hilton died between October 1670 and 6 March 1671.¹

• He was the first permanent settler in New Hampshire.⁶
• Edward Hilton came to Dover, New Hampshire, from London, in 1628. He moved to Exeter by 1639. In 1629 he made a trip to England, returning to New England in 1630 or 1631. He was a Fishmonger, and served as Magistrate at the Piscataqua Court, May 1642, 1661, 1663, 1664; and as Arbiter in 1642.¹
• The Hilton brothers, William and Edward organized the first church at the Oyster River Plantation (Durham), in the area of Dover, New Hampshire. In 1651 the Oyster River Plantation was granted permission to have a meeting house, and it was built in 1655 by Valentine Hill.⁷
• Administration of Edward Hilton's estate was granted on 6 March 1671 his property was appraised at £2204.²
• An 1853 piece regarding the early settlers of Dover, New Hampshire (NEHGS v.7) by Alonzo Quint states that Edward and William Hilton, fishmongers from London, were the first settlers of Dover, New Hampshire. He states that Edward Hilton is on the list of magistrates at Dover in 1641, but soon afterwards moved to Exeter, New Hampshire, where he had received a large grant of land. In 1652 he was "requested to go along with Mr. Dudley to the General Court to assist him." In 1653 Edward Hilton received another grant of land "about two miles square, comprehending the site of the whole village of South Newmarket. Here he is supposed to have settled, and a considerable part of this grant has remained to this day the property of his descendants."²
• From The Great Migration Begins: Noyes, Libby and Davis, discussing the baptismal entry for this immigrant in the Northwich parish register, say that "[t]he record, now probably illegible, was read `son of Richard' by the vicar in 1920, and `son of William' by a superannuated antiquary some years later" [ GDMNH 331].
  The ages of the children of Edward Hilton, as estimated from depositions and ages at death, result in a list of children in which the first four are born in a span of four years, after which there is a gap of seven years before the birth of the fifth. We might in other circumstances suggest that Edward Hilton had had two wives, but the close spacing of the first four children suggests that the clues to age are slightly off, and that the children were born in a normal sequence, with about two-year intervals from the late 1620s to the early 1640s.
  As Noyes, Libby and Davis note, "[t]he historian Hubbard cared little about the eastern country, and his paragraph about the founding of N.H. ... is mostly false. Hilton did not come to the Piscataqua with David Thomson in 1623 and Chr[istopher] Levett's book proves that no settlement had been made up the river in the spring of 1624...." [ GDMNH 334]. "He likely made a voyage to Piscataqua with trading goods and began a plantation, unrecorded, in 1628, the year set by his personal friends and purchasers of his patent for his arrival, and 9 June 1628 when the plantation agreed to send Thomas Morton back to England, he contributed £1" [ GDMNH 331]. In summary, Edward Hilton arrived in New England, and on the Piscataqua, after 1624, but no later than 1628. Many later historians have been misled by Hubbard's version of Hilton's settlement.
  When the "Squamscott Patent" was issued to Hilton, it was "in consideration that Edward Hilton & his associates hath already at his and their own proper costs and charges transported sundry servants to plant in new England aforesaid at a place there called by the natives Wecanacohunt otherwise Hilton's Point ... where they have already built some houses, and planted corn" [ NEHGR 24:264-65]. This implies his a trip back to England in 1629, and probably then a return to New England in 1630, or at the latest by 1631, for THOMAS LEWIS gave livery of seisin on 7 July 1631 [ NEHGR 24:266]. Since Edward Hilton's first child was born about 1629, it may be that while he was in England he acquired both a wife and his patent.
  "Edward Hilton Steward of the Plantation of Hilton's Point" was included as one of the witnesses of the forged 17 May 1629 deed of the four sagamores to John Wheelwright [ NHPP 1:56-60]; as Savage points out, he was "the only one of the nine witnesses, who, we may reasonably believe, was there 17 May, 1629," and the demonstrable absence of the other eight is the strongest evidence against the validity of the document [ WJ 1:486-514, at 510].
  With other inhabitants of Exeter Edward Hilton petitioned the Massachusetts Bay General Court to receive for the town one hundred acres of common meadow about seven or eight miles distant, 24 May 1652 [ NHPP 1:198-99].
  On 9 May 1669 Massachusetts Bay General Court "on perusal of the articles of agreement between this colony & the inhabitants of Dover, &c., several of them well remembering that Mr. Edward Hilton was one of those that were commissionated to agree with this Court in behalf of the inhabitants of Piscataqua, do declare that Mr. Edward Hilton is, according to the articles, justly exempted from the country rates" [ MBCR 4:2:430].
  At the October 1670 court Mr. Edward Hilton withdrew his suit against Mr. Andrew Wiggin for damage done to corn by Wiggin's hogs [ NHPP 1:256]. If he was alive at this date and the case was not withdrawn simply because Hilton had died, this is his last contemporary appearance in the records.
  BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTE: In addition to the material gathered by Noyes, Libby and Davis [ GDMNH 331-37], a good account of Edward Hilton was published by Mary Lovering Holman in 1938.¹ [ Pillsbury Anc 333-335]
