Jonathan Hilton, son of William, and brother of Richard Hilton, married his cousin Sobriety, daughter of Edward and Mary (Dudley) Hilton. He had a son, Jonathan, and it is difficult to distinguish between them in the records. Charles Hilton, son of Jonathan, was baptized December 10, 1727, "in minority." Fifty acres of land were assigned Jonathan Hilton, April 17, 1710; also a grant of fifty acres "on the south side of Lam- pereel river at a place called Dudley wigwam"; he was with Capt. Nicholas Gilman's scout for two days, July 5, 1710; presented a claim against the estate of Col. Winthrop Hilton, for his wife's portion given her by her father's will. Fifty acres of land were apportioned to Jonathan Hilton, father and son, each, April 12, 1725. There were reserved for Jonathan Hilton twelve acres out of 284 sold to Joseph Jacob in 1728 by Mrs. Mary Brown, "lately Plaisted." The parish committee purchased of him twelve acres which they deeded to Mr. Moody, August 7, 1730; and ten acres were assigned him August 9, 1738. He petitioned for bridge over Squamscot River, November 21, 1746 ; and having ' ' endured the brunt and hardship of the late war, ' ' for a township, 1754.
