Amelia Hilton was born around 1821 in England. She married John Hilton sometime around 1840, and they had at least three children: James, born around 1843; Mary, born around 1851; and John, born around 1854. They immigrated to America sometime in the 1840s and settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Her husband worked as a weaver, and by 1860, they owned $100 of personal property. A decade later, they owned $3,000 of personal property. Her husband died in Philadelphia on November 20, 1886, and she may have followed on July 21, 1893.
