17 *WILLIAM, son of William of Northwich, co. Chester, and bro. of (1) and (13). He was ‘of London’ and indebted to his fa., by the accounts preserved with latter’s will, in 1605, and was legatee of his bro. Arthur Hilton of Northw. in 1612. He arrived at Cape Cod in the Fortune 9 Nov. 1621, his letter, badly misrep. conditions, addressed to his ‘cousin’ and printed in Capt. John Smith’s book, being dated two days later. The ‘cousin’ may have been a blind for Capt. Smith himself, or one of Hilton’s own nephews or one of his w.’s, with directions to send her over. She arriv. at Plymouth, with two ch., ab. 10 July 1623. They were still there in 1624 when Rev. John Lyford bp. a ch. The historian Hubbard cared little about the eastern country, and his paragraph about the founding of N. H. (N. E. Reg. 31.179) is mostly false. Hilton did not come to the Piscataqua with David Thomson in 1623 and Chr. Levett’s book proves that no settlement had been made up the river in the spring of 1624 (N. E. Reg. 76.315). It was later than this last season, therefore, when Hilton left . Plym. and joined Thomson at Little Harbor with the purpose of starting salt works. Incidentally, salt making was the principal industry of Northwich, his fa.’s home. When his bro. Edward came over in 1628 he naturally removed up river and when Capt. Neale arrived he was liv. on Dover Neck, and planting his corn, safe from his hogs, on the other side of the river in Me. (N. E. Reg. 31.181; Me. P. & C. ii. 19). When (1) gave place to Capt. Wiggin, he appar. went with him to Newfields, but was soon back. Freeman, with Wm. Walderne, 19 May 1642, Com. t. e. s. c. 1642-4, Rep. 1644. He is first found at Kittery Point in June, 1648; bef. that, in Apr., Dover had allowed him and Thos. Turner to gather 70 loads of pine knots on Madbury Neck. In 1647 Mendum, the Kit. Pt. innholder, had bot and given up the ho. owned by Capt. Shapleigh, who got the lic. transferred to Hilton, who hired the ho. and liv. there until S. put him out, soon aft. 15 Oct. 1650, because of his w. Frances, who by her own dep. had been liv. there some yrs. bef. Removing to York, he was promptly given the ferry and tavern lic., made alderman of the expiring city, then selectman 1652-4, and referee in ct. Gr.j. 1651, 1653-5; j. 1650 (foreman). Evid. educated and suffic. familiar with the courts to almost invar. win his frequent suits, he was given his title of Mr. wherever he went. For letters, autographs, etc. see N. E. Reg. 31.179-82, 333; 36.40. Lists 376a, 352, 353, 53, 275, 276, 277. Besides the w. who foll. him to Plym., and Frances, poss. a wid. with ch. when he m. her ab. 1651, there may have been others. His fa.’s endorsing for him to Ellen Hewett bef. 1605 is unexpl., and if one of his wives should prove to have been a Winslow it would expl. his letter writing with Edw. Winslow, his assoc. with John Winslow, his removal to Piscataqua with Gilbert Winslow and the mar. of two of John Winslow’s sons to his relations. Aside from this there is the railing of his w. Frances (for which the ct. sentenced her severely) that one John was his bastard. She was beneath his class. His other w., or wives, kept out of ct. and are therefore nameless. Between two cts., June 1655 and June 1656, he d. (ag. perhaps 75), and the wid. m. Richard White. Goody White called herself ± 70 in 1688 (Me. P. & C. i. 267). Ch: John, perhaps his, bur. in Northw. 26 Nov. 1610. Elizabeth, bp. 27 June, bur. 1 Aug. 1616, in Northw. William, bp. 22 June 1617 in Northw. Mary, bp. 11 May 1619 in Northw.; see (11). John, see (3). Magdalene, m. 1st by 1646 James Wiggin; 2d, of Newbury, pub. 14 May 1698 to Henry Kenning of Salem. Mainwaring, b. bef. 1650. Agnes, (Anne), m. by 1667 Arthur Beale (2). By w.
