Ebenezer was the illegitimate son of Elizabeth Thompson and Mainwaring Hilton (a son of William Hilton and Ann Parsons Beale.) Elizabeth had another child by a Ball. The two fellows skipped town when she revealed civilly and at church in Berwick, Maine. I believe Elizabeth wanted to join a church as well and her son probably when she married Alexander Gray. Ebenezer had gone by his stepfather's name then when Ebenezer married Mary Lord he took his father's name legally Hilton.

Ebenezer Hilton and the Boynton young man were killed by Indians at Montsweag. He managed to get to the garrison but died. Ebenezer with his feet cut off fought on his knees. William a young son was taken to Canada and escaped (New England Genealogical Society). There were depositions by the children in Boston about the attack. Tappan sent for the family and brought them down to Mass. The very accurate account by Charles Thornton Libby who was Sec'y at the Society has it right on the genealogy of the Hilton families in The Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New England I believe Savage had one by that title.

I am not sure that his name was Joshua Boyntoin but there have been reports of the fondness for the name perpetuated in the Hilton families. The Hiltons descendants of Ebenezer and Mary Lord Hilton are numerous. Genealogies were really messed up, until Libby put out facts in The Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and NH by Noyes, Libby and Davis is the important book on this family as Libby got the answers right with verification. Some books published around the late 19th or early 20th centuries, were deceptive about our Ebenezer. Why? Some of the better genealogist stopped when they encountered the genealogy of the illigitimacy. Ebenezer Hilton was tacked on to the line Of Edward of NH rather than to the Williams born along with his brother Edward in Northwich Cheshire County, Lancastershire. Their parents were also from there. Wlliam Hilton and Ellen Mainwaring (she died in London) to perpetuate a distortion even today. My husband's family connects to three of the Ebenezer children.

• Joseph Hilton (was at the Battle of Plains of Abraham) married Anna Gray. Had a nephew by the name of Joseph Hilton in the Embden, Maine region. Anna Gray, born in England, had a mother with surname of James.
• Daniel Hilton (War of 1812 married Polly Brewer. Their daughter was Mary Ann Hilton who married for second husband Simeon Williams (Litchfield, Maine). ,
• Moses Hilton's daughter was Anna Hilton. Moses Hilton first wife was Rachel Anna Thompson, Anna their daughter lived in Wiscasset. Anna Hilton married Lemuel Williams, an officer in the Rev. War. They had twenty children, North Anson, Somerset County.
