According to Lewis Parker Abell,
"JOSEPH HILTON, born on the homestead, Oct. 17, 1868; m. Harriett
Wood of New Scotland, b. Mar. 6, 1870, dau. of Charles & Catharine H.
Flansburg, of New Salem.
He operates the homestead acres, which remain undivided except for
the portion purchased by his brother James, but in partnership with
his brother and leasing from other members of the family their
individual shares inthe estate.
There was some action by the county about 1930 to acquire the
whole property for a "Rest Home" for the elderly, but apparently the
plan was not carried out. They have one daughter, Catharine W., b.
June 26, 1904; m. William Randall Wands, of the family of one of the
early settlers in New Scotland. They reside at the neighboring
station of Voorheesville, N.Y. Joseph Hilton was a graduate of
Albany Business College and served as Town Supervisor two terms and
is now Postmaster."
