Individual Details
(1602 - 27 Sep 1674)
It has been Roberts family tradition to believe that Rebecca was the sister of Edward Hilton, though there is no evidence to this effect. Since Thomas Roberts came to New England between 1623-1627 with Edward and William Hilton; was permanently settled at Dover Point by 1628; and married Rebecca 1625-1629, it is plausible that Rebecca was a Hilton (see Jacobsen, p. 2, 21). The Hilton surname, therefore, should be seen as possible and consistent with tradition, but not based on any better evidence.
