Further discussion of Rebecca Hilton Robert's parents tracing through her brothers:
"This one seems like a fairly large mess.
Let's talk about Edward's father for a moment:
The kerrysdavis site that Darlene linked to for Edward Hilton (1595-1670, Hilton-52) has drawn the conclusion that the father was acutally a Capt Roger Hilton, after stating that the NEHGS shows a William without any sources.
Hilton-52 shows the father as a William Hilton.
The genforum discussion cites Anderson saying they were sons of William Hilton of Northwich.
Hilton-52 also links to Anderson, where on page 950 he writes: "Noyes, Libby and Davis, discussing the baptismal entry for this immigrant in the Northwich parish register, say that "the record, now probably illegible, was read 'son of Richard' by the vicar in 1920, and 'son of William' by a superannuated antiquary some years later." So "William Hilton" as the father does have some source via Anderson, although fair to say not the most confident?
In the same genforum string that Darlene mentioned, there is this reference: "vi MAINWARING, b. by 1646 [YLR 2:33]; m. by about 1670 as her first husband Mary Moulton, daughter of Thomas Moulton (eldest child of daughter Magdalen b. York 24 September 1691 [NEHGR 110:60]; on 4 July 1671 administration was granted to "Tho[mas] Mowlton of the estate of Mannering Hilton his son-in-law lately deceased" [MPCR 2:214]." Mannering? Mainwaring? If someone can check this source, it may help.
Both WikiTree and kerrysdavis site, despite having different fathers, have the same mother.
Siblings: Anderson shows Edward Hilton-52 had brothers William and Richard. Kerrysdavis site shows a brother William. WikiTree shows Edward Hilton-52 had a brother William and a brother Arthur, as well as sisters Amy, Elizabeth and the Rebecca that started this discussion.
Other notes: The genforum that mentions a son of Edward's named Mainwaring starts with "William and Edward were brothers but at this time cannot be said to descend from Sybil LUMLEY." (my note: Sybil was the illegitimate granddaughter of Edward IV).
Hilton-52's profile calls the royal line 'spurious' and quotes the Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire, pg. 133, and mentions a pedigree was published that "will doubtless charm the credulous for years to come." "

"Thomas Roberts made his will, dated 27 Sept 1673. Since it was probated 30 June 1674; he probably died in 1674, as it was the custom to probate the wills soon after the death of the testator. He left a wife named Rebecca."
John Scales, "Colonial Era History of Dover, New Hampshire" p.302
"He was buried in the oldest cemetery in Dover, which is adjacent to the Roberts homestead on the high bank of the Fore River at what was known as Dover Neck."
Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire, Noyes, p.589.
"After her husband's (Thomas Roberts) death in 1674 she was in Boston, Mass. where she died."
Further discussion of Rebecca Hilton Robert's parents tracing through her brothers:
"This one seems like a fairly large mess.
Let's talk about Edward's father for a moment:
The kerrysdavis site that Darlene linked to for Edward Hilton (1595-1670, Hilton-52) has drawn the conclusion that the father was acutally a Capt Roger Hilton, after stating that the NEHGS shows a William without any sources.
Hilton-52 shows the father as a William Hilton.
The genforum discussion cites Anderson saying they were sons of William Hilton of Northwich.
Hilton-52 also links to Anderson, where on page 950 he writes: "Noyes, Libby and Davis, discussing the baptismal entry for this immigrant in the Northwich parish register, say that "the record, now probably illegible, was read 'son of Richard' by the vicar in 1920, and 'son of William' by a superannuated antiquary some years later." So "William Hilton" as the father does have some source via Anderson, although fair to say not the most confident?
In the same genforum string that Darlene mentioned, there is this reference: "vi MAINWARING, b. by 1646 [YLR 2:33]; m. by about 1670 as her first husband Mary Moulton, daughter of Thomas Moulton (eldest child of daughter Magdalen b. York 24 September 1691 [NEHGR 110:60]; on 4 July 1671 administration was granted to "Tho[mas] Mowlton of the estate of Mannering Hilton his son-in-law lately deceased" [MPCR 2:214]." Mannering? Mainwaring? If someone can check this source, it may help.
Both WikiTree and kerrysdavis site, despite having different fathers, have the same mother.
Siblings: Anderson shows Edward Hilton-52 had brothers William and Richard. Kerrysdavis site shows a brother William. WikiTree shows Edward Hilton-52 had a brother William and a brother Arthur, as well as sisters Amy, Elizabeth and the Rebecca that started this discussion.
Other notes: The genforum that mentions a son of Edward's named Mainwaring starts with "William and Edward were brothers but at this time cannot be said to descend from Sybil LUMLEY." (my note: Sybil was the illegitimate granddaughter of Edward IV).
Hilton-52's profile calls the royal line 'spurious' and quotes the Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire, pg. 133, and mentions a pedigree was published that "will doubtless charm the credulous for years to come." "
