Research Notes
Date of death changed due to deed record and probate record. The date shown previously 10 Jan 1826 is the tombstone inscription date of David Hampton of Oldham County, Kentucky, who is a different person.
David Hampton and John David Hampton are TWO DIFFERENT MEN.
David Hampton is shown as a son of Ephraim Hampton in the will of Ephraim Hampton. Family tradition asserts that this is the David Hampton of Oldham County, Kentucky. DNA tests tend to show that this connection is correct.
John David Hampton is a DIFFERENT PERSON. Their names and profiles on Ancestry have been conflated because of faulty trees on Ancestry, and because photographs of the tombstone of David Hampton are being incorrectly attached to the record of John David Hampton.
Ancestry's ThruLines is also substituting David Hampton for John David Hampton and vice versa. Again, because of faulty trees. Also, perhaps because there are hundreds of descendants, and many DNA testers like me who are descended from both men.
David and Sarah's daughter, Lemenda K Hampton, married Ephraim S Hampton, the son of John David Hampton and Elizbeth Ann Smith. Family tradition states that they were cousins. This also has not been proven, to my satisfaction, but the DNA testing looks like it is probable.
Connie Gilbreath Belcher, in her book "A Genealogy of John Hampton of Lawrence County Alabama", shows John David Hampton as another son of Ephraim Hampton of Granville County, based on John Hampton being a witness to Ephraim's will. Ephraim Hampton did give land to a John Hampton, nephew. I have not found any documentation to show that John David Hampton is a son of Ephraim Hampton of Granville.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with John by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with John:

Ephraim Hampton was the son of Andrew Hampton and Sarah, whose surname is NOT Kuykendall. That surname was only a conjecture by Robert Cox, and has been discounted. Her name was mentioned only once in a sale of land, to release her dower rights, and without a surname.
Ephraim's siblings were a daughter Hampton who married Joseph King; Ezekiel Hampton Sr 1737–1811; John Hampton the Loyalist Lieut Col 1745–1843; Joseph Hampton 1746–1803; Zachariah Hampton 1750–1781.
Ephraim and Lemender Harris 1748–1814 had the following children: David Hampton 1774–1826; Ephraim Harris Hampton 1774–1821; Oliver Hampton 1776–1868; Frances "Fanny" Hampton 1780–1843; Robert Hampton 1784–; Lemender Hampton 1788–; Thomas Hampton 1790–; Henrietta "Ritter" Hampton; Martha "Patsy" Hampton.
John David Hampton has NOT been proven to be a son of Ephraim and Lemender. Connie Gilbreath Belcher listed him as a son, based on family tradition, and the supposition that he was the John Hampton who witnessed Ephraim's will. It is unknown which John Hampton was the witness. Ephraim also gave land to "nephew" John Hampton in Rowan County. It is also unknown which John Hampton this was, but it is possible that he was the son of Zachariah Hampton, who is shown as the son and the executor of Zachariah's estate.
The children shown as half siblings, Jonathan Hampton [half], Susannah (Hampton) Eaves [half], Andrew Hampton Jr [half] and Mary (Hampton) Bradley [half], are not siblings of Ephraim. They are some of the children of Col Andrew Hampton of Rutherford County, North Carolina, and his wife Catherine Hyder (Hider.)
