Biography
Buried in the Mouth of Hylton Branch Cemetery, Willard, Carter County, Kentucky. Find A Grave Memorial# 41462798
"Benjamine Hilton, farmer and stonemason, was born in Kentucky, presumably in Madison County, March 13, 1786, and died in Johnson County, KY June 4, 1856. He married in Floyd Co., KY about 1803, Nancy Preston, born in Bedford County Virginia in October 1781, died June 28, 1871 in the home of her son E. P. S. Hylton, near Willard, Carter County, KY. She was buried in a nearby graveyard at the mouth of Hylton branch. She was the eldest child of Nathan Preston, Revolutionary War soldier, and his wife, Elizabeth (Vaughn) Preston." [Early Families in Eastern and Southeastern Kentucky, page 374]
Nancy Preston, according to Jeffery Preston's deposition in Nathan Preston's Rev. War Record, "was the eldest child born after Cornwallis was taken, but in the same month, October 1781, probably in Bedford County, Virginia. (Cornwallis capitulated Oct. 19, 1781.) Jeffery further stated "that he has always understood from both of his parents that they had eight children." (Deposition of Jeffery Preston taken 29 Aug. 1839 in Floyd Co., KY.)
In abt. 1858, Nancy Preston Hylton moved from Johnson to Carter Co., KY with two of her children, namely Anna Hylton [wife of James Wright] and Eliphaz Preston Shelton Hylton, a widower with four children. Eliphaz owned 600 acres on Little Fork at Hylton Branch. Nancy died at his home and was buried in the cemetery nearby the house. (Marlitta H. Perkins, personal research, Johnson and Carter County, Kentucky tax records)
