      His son Edward II Hilton (from his first marriage) was born at Dover (NH) c. 1626 and married Ann Dudley (born 16 October 1641 in Salisbury, Massachusetts), daughter of Reverend Samuel Dudley by Mary Winthrop (grand-daughter of Massachusetts Governors Thomas Dudley by his first wife Dorothy Yorke and John Winthrop by his first wife Mary Forth). His grand-son Lieutenant-Colonel Winthrop Hilton (born c. 1671) married Ann Wilson (daughter of Humphrey). He earned the bitter hatred of the Indians who succeeded (after many previous attempts) in surprising him at Epping (his mast-making business near Exeter, NH) on 23 June 1710 where he was killed along with two of his men while his brother Dudley was carried off, never to be heard of again.

      1706: Another band (of Indians led by Bernard-Anselme d'Abbadie de Saint-Castin), who had marked Major (Winthrop) Hilton for their special prey, lay in wait for him around his garrison at Exeter. One morning ten men came out of the house with their scythes, and went away into the fields to mow. After they had laid aside their guns to begin mowing, the crawling savages suddenly rose up and rushed in between them and their fire-arms, killed four, wounded one, and captured three more. The two others made their escape. Two of the prisoners, Hall and Miles, afterward came in, in a deplorable state, having lived for three weeks on roots and the inner rind of trees.
