Re: HILTONs in Lancaster PA (early 1700)

Maybe this information will help? I too, am a descendant from the Hilton's (poor line) of Lancaster PA.

John Hilton and Mary Matthew (buried Graybills Church Cemetery Elm PA) had at least one child named Addison Matthews Hilton (born 1862 Lexington PA, buried Graybills Church Cemetery Elm PA).

Addison was the toll keeper on the road south of Manheim, PA and he married Ida Fehl Diffenderfer and had 8 children, the last two died in infancy. Ida's mother-Catherine Fehl died giving birth to her in 1867 and Ida was raised her grandparents.Ida was buried in 1935 at Kauffman's Mennonite Church Cemetery, Manheim, PA.

My maternal grandmother Stella Diffenderfer Hilton was the second born to Addison & Ida, she married Franklin Millter Witman and had 8 children: Milfred, Gladys, Glenn, Lenore-(My mother "Peggy" Lenore H. Witman Ellison being #4), Reba, Dale, Clarence & Clyde.

Frank & Stella are buried at Fairview Church of the Bretheran. Along with a baby girl My Uncle Clyde and Aunt Jackie lost in infancy.

My Uncle Milfred - Stella's first born is buried at Fairview Cemetery on the hill south of Manheim, located very close to the toll building where Addison worked.

Stella's sister Evelyn born 7/7/1905 Penn TWP Lancaster Co, PA was the sixth child born to Addison & Ida and is buried in Millerville Mennonite Cemetery Lancaster CO, PA 2/17/1983.
