  • William de Helton (d before 20.04.1208)
  • m. Bone (dau of German Tison of Shilbottle)
    • 1. Alexander de Hilton of Helton or Hilton
    • m. Agnes de Verly (sister of Hugh de Verly)
      • A. Robert de Hilton, 1st Lord (d c1310)
      • BE1883 (Hilton of Hilton) appears to confuse this Robert de Hilton with Robert de Hilton of Swine (see below) by reporting that he was the one who married Marmaduke de Thweng. TCP (Thweng) reports that this had been suggested by Dugdale, wrongly.

          • a. .... etc.
        • ii. Sir William de Hilton of Swine and Winestead (d 1290-1)
        • The following is supported by VCH (Yorkshire, East Riding volume 7, Swine) though, other than to note that Sir William's widow Maud m2. Sir Robert de Tilliol, VCH does not name any of the wives. Sir William's wife is identified by TCP (Lascelles) as ...
        • m. (1288) Maud de Lascelles (d 1343, dau of Roger, Lord Lascelles, m2. Sir Robert de Tilliol)
          • a. Sir Robert de Hilton or Hylton of Swine (d c1351)
          • (1) Having reference to the dates, it is presumed that this was the Robert (rather than his son) who married Margaret Thweng, sister of Thomas, 4th Lord. TCP (Thweng) identifies Thomas's coheirs as including Margaret's daughter Isabel and John, son of Isabel's sister Maud. There is no mention of Sir Robert Hilton so it is presumed that Sir Robert was not Margaret's son.
          • (2) Robert, husband of Margaret Thweng, is sometimes described as though he was a Lord but this appears to have resulted from confusion with either his grandfather or his cousin (above).

              • (A) Sir Robert Hilton of Swine (a 1393)
              • This was possibly the Sir Robert who was father of Denise. TCP (Hylton) identifies the mother of Denise as Margaret, dau of Sir Thomas de Sutton of Braunsholm Castle and Sutton. However, after noting that this had been modified by TCP (vol xiv) which presumably suggested that his wife's name was Constance rather than Margaret, 'MedieGen' indicates that Denise must have been by an earlier wife.

                • (iii) Sir Godfrey Hilton of Swine (d 1459)
                • VCH reports that Sir Godfrey, brother of Sir Robert, "seems to have held Swine manor for life". Although this has not been confirmed properly, this appears to have been the Godfrey (d 05.08.1459) who married Hawise Luttrell. The following comes from TCP (Luterel or Luttrell).
                • m. Hawise Luttrell (d 24.03.1421/2, sister/heir of Sir Geoffrey Luttrell of Irnham)
                  • (b) Geoffrey Hilton 'of Irnham' (b 09.11.1419, d 18.05.1472)
                  • TCP (Luterel or Luttrell) identifies Geoffrey's wife only as Margery (d 14.11.1495, m2. William Walron). Various web sites identify her as ...

Commoners identifies her as Lucia, sister/coheir of Peter de Brus of Skelton.
