"This pioneer of York [Maine] was one of the early settlers in New England, as he came to Plymouth in 1621 on the Fortune from London, and his letter descriptive of the country, appearing in `New England Trials' in 1622, is the first published letter written by a Plymouth Pilgrim describing this part of the country. One phrase in it is striking: `We are all free-holders, the rent day doth not trouble us.' His wife and two children followed in the Anne and there he lived until some time in 1624 when the inevitable church `row' ensued. ...He is next heard of in Dover [New Hampshire] with his brother Edward, a freeman of the Fishmongers Company of London.... The family from which they descended probably originated in Lancastershire, and about 1550 the representative of this branch moved to Northwich, township of Witton, County Chester, and engaged in the manufacture of salt, for which industry that place was then noted." {-"History of York, Maine," by Charles Edward Banks, Boston, 1935, II:47ff.} William was a taverner, served as Deputy to the General Court and as a Commissioner, had a licensed establishment and operated a ferry both at Dover and later at Stag Neck, York, Maine. He was a correspondent of Governor Winthrop and is styled "Mr.", denoting status and education; while he served in the General Court of Mass. as representative from Dover in 1644, he was on the committee to examine the new code of law before its publication. [We descend from three of the original four selectmen of York, Maine, the others being Alcock and Banks.] {Also see "The English Ancestry and Homes of the Pilgrim Fathers," Charles Edward Banks (Baltimore: Gen.Pub.Co., 1971), p. 118; "A Hilton Family," Winifred Lovering Holman (Exeter, NH, 1970); "History of York, Maine," Charles Edward Banks (Baltimore: Regional Publishing Co., 1967); "Genealogy of the Hiltons," Geneva E. A. Hilton (privately printed; based on Belknap's History of NH of 1792); "William Hilton, Pilgrim," Ethel Henry Cook (St. Paul, MN: Ramaley Printing Co., 1944); "Penobscot Pioneers," Philip Howard Gray (Camden: Penobscot Press, 1992), pp.72-77: "Saints and Strangers," George F. Willison (New York: Reynal & Hitchcock), 1945; "The Great Migration Begins," Robert Charles Anderson (Boston: NEHGS, 1995), 2:951-959.}
Dr. A. C. Wright remarks that William received the first deed to land in Maine, and that he and his brother Edward and the Rev. Mr. Lyford were the first settlers in New Hampshire (Dover) and soon organized a fishing fleet called the New England Fishing Co. His deed in Maine was given to him by Chief Tahanto and verified legally by the Boston courts in 1656. An article in The Portsmouth (NH) Herald 10 Nov 2002 states: "'Town of Newfields named for its stretches of fields,' By Deanna Dawson: Long before Newfields became a town proper, it was first part of Exeter and referred to later as South Newmarket. Newmarket and Newfields were part of Exeter until 1727 when the area was granted its own parish and 10 years later was given the right to govern itself. The actual area that is now Newfields is said to have first been settled by Edward and William Hilton somewhere around 1623. Even then it was often referred to as Newfields because of the beautiful stretch of lands that bordered the Squamscott River. William Hilton was one of the first people to plant on the newfields." Cf. History of Weymouth, Massachusetts in Four Volumes" (Boston: 1923), Chapter XVII: "...those people who were driven from Plymouth and Weymouth and settled in Maine, New Hampshire and Virginia have left records as to how they were forced to leave these places. For instance, William Hilton, who came with his wife and children in the good ship "Anne" in 1623 to Plymouth, and on account of the baptizing of which by Rev. John Lyford in 1624 had to go to New Hampshire, where he settled at Dover Point, sometimes called Hilton's Point, left a record behind him, and Rev. James Hill Fitts in his history of the town of Newfields, N. H., refers to this baptism, and states that this was the beginning of the trouble at Plymouth with the Rev. John Lyford."
Also see "The First Planters of the Colony of Massachusetts Bay...," Alexander Young (Baltimore: Genealogical Pub. Co., 1975), p. 315, which reports that in the spring of 1623 settlement was begun on the Piscataqua River by William Hilton, his brother Edward and David Thompson. "The Hiltons seated themselves eight miles up the river, at Dover. Both parties had been sent out by Gorges and Mason and certain merchants who styled themselves 'The Company of Laconia.' In 1628, Piscataqua was assessed £2 10s. for the campaign against Morton, of Mount Wollaston, a sum equal to that paid by Plymouth; and yet, in 1631, there were but three houses on the river."

[2612] John was baptised at Henlow, England; he died 1620/21 during the first winter at Plymouth; came on the Mayflower with wife Joan Hurst, also of Henlow. See "The American Genealogist," 52:202; "Mayflower Society Quarterly," 56:118. For more information on this family, see http://members.aol.com/calebj/passenger.html (7/2001) and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Tilley_(Pilgrim). See Caroline Lewis Kardell, "An English Line from John Tilley", Mayflower Quarterly, 65 (August 1999):208-209. Some have asserted that John had a second wife, as"Saints and Strangers," George F. Willison (New York: Reynal & Hitchcock), 1945, p. 90 , which describes local residents who joined the Leyden congregation of Separatists including "Bridget van der Velde, who in 1615 married John Tilley from London, silk maker." "The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England, 1620-1633"( Boston: NEHGS, 1995, Vol. 2, p. 1822 reports "John Tilley joined the expedition of 6 December 1620 along the coast with nine others, under the leadership of Miles Standish." His younger brother, Edward, died in the first sickness.
