Personal Notes:
Henry Hilton was in Tumut in 1847, probably much earlier. At one period he was acting Postmaster and also schoolteacher.

In 1847 the Government Gazette on pages 223 and 481 respectively, show that Henry Hilton was appointed a Bailiff of the Court and also Chief Constable. His third daughter married James E. Madigan, licensee of the Queen‘s Arms Hotel in 1879. His son, William Henry Hilton was the first Town Clerk to be appointed in Tumut and held office continually from 1887 to 1907. After leaving Tumut he became Town Clerk at Junee. Later he was licensee of an hotel at Armidale. He died at Haberfield on 8 July 1911

Henry's will was subject to a Supreme court challenge between his son, William Henry (defendant) and the other children in the case "Madigan vs Hilton", heard by Justice Manning.

Death has visited our town during the week, and earned away a very old resident in the person of Mr. Henry Hilton. The deceased had been ailing for some months past and getting gradually worse, he breathed his last on Sunday morning. Years ago he was one of our leading public men, be possessed good scholastic abilities, having received his education at the University of Bonn. For some time he kept a school here, and trained many of our now grown up residents. He was also Registrar, Postmaster, Mining Registrar, &co. The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon, and the cortege was of great length. He was buried according to the rites of the Roman Catholic Church, having been received into her communion (to which his widow and family belong) the night before his decease.
