Elizabeth Charlotte3 Hilton  (William2, Mr.1)   daughter of William and Ann / Mary / Josie 'Amey' Hilton,  was born 23 February 1822 in South Carolina, and died 20 October 1899 in Cisco, Eastland Co Texas, burial in Oakwood Cemetery, Cisco, Eastland Co Texas

She married 1)  Charles Hodge / Hogg, date unknown, he died in 1840, Simpson Co Mississippi
A small paper in the handwriting of Jacob Lamb, attached to a portion of the pension application filed by Elisabeth Lamb, tells that "Jacob Lamb married November 12, 1841 to Elizabeth Charlotey Hogg."

She married 2)  Jacob Lamb November 12, 1841.
He was born 25 March 1791 in Georgia, and died 25 November 1868 in Texas. Jacob had previously been married and had one son, Joseph Lamb, born c1839, who was raised by he and Elizabeth.  Jacob's first wife died about 12-14 months before his marriage to Elizabeth, according to her pension application.

Richard  Foster received the pension application of Elizabeth Hilton Lamb, which states that she is the daughter of William Hilton, born in South Carolina, and that her  birthdate is February 23, 1822. This birthdate could conflict with that of Emiline, unless Mrs. Hilton conceived immediately after Elizabeth's birth, and gave birth to Emiline in her 8th month of pregnancy. 

According to birth information, Jacob & Elisabeth were in Mississippi before 1840, residing in Simpson Co by 1846, and possibly Copiah Co before that.  However, a search of census index did not locate Charles Hodge[s] / Hogg or Jacob Lamb in Mississippi in 1840.

The family migrated to Texas in 1865 according to an  affidavit filed by Green Touchstone, and witnessed by William D. Mahaffey, in which he gave testimony telling that he witnessed the marriage of  Elizabeth  Charlotte Hilton, daughter of William  Hilton, in the year 1841, Simpson Co Mississippi.

The pension application of Elizabeth Lamb is copied here, cover sheets not included:

  • Letter asking  for  further information, dated January 14, 1888, attached a copy of a  small scrap of paper said to be written in the handwriting of Jacob Lamb, showing the date of his marriage to Elizabeth. 
    Note: I am unsure if this is a part of this original page, or if it was just copied this way, nor do I know who wrote  "his hand    writing" on the paper.
