My mother is a Hilton in Itasca, Texas. My grandfather was Brian Hilton and his father was John Sheffey Hilton. John Sheffey’s dad was Francis Marion of Hillsboro Texas. Francis Marion Hiltons’ father was John Hickman Hilton of Scott County VA.
I’ve been researching the Hilton family for a long time.
The Rev. Samuel Hilton was my 4th Great Grandfather. The other 4th Great Grandfather from Hiltons, Virginia was Abraham Fulkerson who fought at the Battle of Kings Mountain in Blacksburg, South Carolina.
My Great Grandparents were Mary Hart & George W. Hilton. They moved into Kentucky and had two twin sons, George and Bill Hilton. They moved to Columbus, Ohio, since George worked for the Railroad. My Grandmother was Mary Emma Elizabeth Hilton Ayers. Her parents, Mary and George Hilton are buried at the Greenlawn Cemetery.
If I am looking at my research correctly Rev. Samuel Hilton would have been my 6th Great Grandfather. My grandfather’s (Brian Hilton) 4th great grandfather.
My grandfather’s Grandparent’s Francis Marion Hilton and Elizabeth Ann Hilton (Larkey) moved to Texas and both are buried in Hillsboro, TX.
I am trying to find out why they moved to Texas but I have never found out.
Francis and Elizabeth Hilton built a house here near Hillsboro in 1921 and Francis passed away shortly after the house was completed. My grandparents acquired the home sometime in the 50’s. After my grandparent’s passed I am now currently residing in the same home.
Rev Samuel Hilton was my 4th Great Grandfather. There is a book that I have titled:
Hiltons of Scott County Virginia by James L. Hilton. This book has so much family information. Francis Marion Hilton is mentioned on pages 85, 141, 142
I can send you copies of those pages if you would like. Do let me know.
You will be very informed about the Hilton Family from the book.
