Also, date of death is unknown. It is often listed as 1815, the death date of a nephew, son of Elijah Hylton. It is unknown what became of John & Obediance in the late 1700s, no records exist mentioning either after 1785. There is a family story mentioned that they went to Kentucky. There may be some truth to that though Ive found nothing definitive.
