Generation No. 3

5.

William Isaac3 Hilton (William2, Mr.1), son of William and Ann / Mary / Josie 'Amey' Hilton, was born April 18, 1818 in South Carolina, and died February 23, 1904 in Harrisville, Simpson Co Mississippi.

He married Sarah Amanda Pearson 1844 in Selma, Alabama.
Sarah was born June 24, 1828 in Alabama, and died January 26, 1917.

 

 

 
1850 Simpson Co Mississippi, household #330/330, has William age 30, born in SC, Amanda, age 22, born in Alabama, John J., age 3, born in Al, Patrick Hilton, age 1, born in Ms

Living next door is Amey Hilton, age 52, born in SC, with child Humphrey C. Hilton, age 10. Is she Wm's mother, and who is the child, Humphrey.

1860 Simpson Co Mississippi, household #59/59 has William I. Hilton, age 40, born in SC, Sarah A., age 31, born in Al, John J., age 14, William P., age 11, Solomon A., age 9, Samuel J., age 7, Minervy A., age 2. All children born in Ms, except John, who was born in Al.

He is two doors from Elizabeth Hilton, age 50, with child, Alexander Hilton, age 17. She is the widow of James Hilton.

1870 Westville Simpson Co Mississippi , household #213/213, page 352 has William I. Hilton, age 51, born in SC, Sarah, age 42, born in Al, William, age 21, Solomon, age 19, Thomas, age 17, Margarett, age 11,-Is this Minerva?- Elonzo, age 2, all born in Ms, also in the home are: Charles Hilton, age 17, Henry Hilton, age 11, both born in Ms

I am unsure of who Charles and Henry are. Also, they live two doors from an Annie Hilton, age 67, with child, Elizabeth Hilton, age 10, is she Wm's mother? If Amey, in 1850 is his mother, at age 52, I don't think Annie will be his mother at at 67, 20 years later. And who's child is Elizabeth?

Wm and Sarah's children, Amanda, Sarah, Brady, and Isaac Wm, are not in this census, have they died? Samuel is not in the census either, but may have left home.

Children of  William Hilton and Sarah Pearson are:

+22 i. 
John James4 Hilton, born December 29, 1845 in Alabama & died March 02, 1927 in Harrisville, Simpson Co Mississippi.
+23 ii.  William Patrick Hilton, born April 17, 1849
+24 iii. 
Solomon A. Hilton, born April 29, 1851 in Harrisville, Simpson Co Mississippi & died December 19, 1912  in Desoto Parish Louisiana. 
He married Sarah Eda Loflin August 08, 1872 in Rankin Co Mississippi. 
 25 iv. 

Samuel J. Hilton, born 1853 in Harrisville, Simpson Co Mississippi.
He married Nancy.  Her maiden name is unknown. -I do not recall where this information comes from-

What became of Samuel J. 1870? I find a Samuel in Crystal Springs, Copiah Co Mississippi, his age though, is 21, wife, Laurinda, age 27, children: Grace T., age 7, William, age 3, and Benj. P, age 8 mo. The child, Grace, cannot be his child, unless he fathered a child at age 14! I am unsure that this is the same Samuel. I have been unable to locate him in 1880 either.
