This generalization of the unsigned Stirling1 triangle A132393 is called here |S1hat[4,1]|.
The signed matrix S1hat[4,1] with elements (-1)^(n-k)*|S1hat[4,1]|(n, k) is the inverse of the generalized Stirling2 Sheffer matrix S2hat[4,1] with elements S2[4,1](n, k)/d^k, where S2[4,1] is Sheffer (exp(x), exp(4*x) - 1), given in A285061. See also the P. Bala link below for the scaled and signed version s_{(4,0,1)}.
For the general |S1hat[d,a]| case see a comment in A286718.

FORMULA
Recurrence: T(n, k) = T(n-1, k-1) + (4*n - 3)*T(n-1, k), for n >= 1, k = 0..n, and T(n, -1) = 0, T(0, 0) = 1 and T(n, k) = 0 for n < k.
E.g.f. of row polynomials R(n, x) = Sum_{k=0..n} T(n, k)*x^k (i.e., e.g.f. of the triangle): (1 - 4*z)^{-(x + 1)/4}.
E.g.f. of column k is (1 - 4*x)^(-1/4)*((-1/4)*log(1 - 4*x))^k/k!.
Recurrence for row polynomials is R(n, x) = (x+1)*R(n-1, x+4), with R(0, x) = 1. Row polynomial R(n, x) = risefac(4,1;x,n) with the rising factorial risefac(d,a;x,n) :=Product_{j=0..n-1} (x + (a + j*d)). (For the signed case see the Bala link, eq. (16)).
T(n, k) = sigma^{(n)}_{n-k}(a_0, a_1, ..., a_{n-1}) with the elementary symmetric functions with indeterminates a_j = 1 + 4*j.
T(n, k) = Sum_{j=0..n-k} binomial(n-j, k)*|S1|(n, n-j)*4^j, with the unsigned Stirling1 triangle |S1| = A132393.
Boas-Buck type recurrence for column sequence k: T(n, k) = (n!/(n - k)) * Sum_{p=k..n-1} 4^(n-1-p)*(1 + 4*k*beta(n-1-p))*T(p, k)/p!, for n > k >= 0, with input T(k, k) = 1, and beta(k) = A002208(k+1)/A002209(k+1), beginning with {1/2, 5/12, 3/8, 251/720, ...}.

From Wolfdieter Lang, Aug 11 2017: (Start)
Recurrence: T(4, 2) = T(3, 1) + (16 - 3)*T(3, 2) = 59 + 13*15 = 254.
Boas-Buck recurrence for column k=2 and n=4:
T(4, 2) = (4!/2)*(4*(1 + 8*(5/12))*T(2, 2)/2! + 1*(1 + 8*(1/2))*T(3,2)/3!) = (4!/2)*(2*13/3 + 5*15/3!) = 254. - Wolfdieter Lang, Aug 11 2017
