Henry Hilton

Henry Hilton (October 4, 1824 – August 24, 1899) was an American jurist and businessman. He became best known for the so-called "Hilton-Seligman Affair" in 1877, his refusal to admit financier Joseph Seligman to the Grand Union Hotel in Saratoga Springs, New York (no relation to Hilton Hotels & Resorts), reportedly because Seligman was Jewish, but also possibly because of a personal feud.
