Statistics Analysis James Hilton (James Helton) |
| James Helton Age 45-50 in 1820 Born 1770-1775 | 1820 Washington County Georgia Census Male Household members A=2 male age 0-10 (born 1810-1820) B=1 male age 10-16 (born 1804-1810) F=1 male age 45 and up (born before 1775) Category M = Occupation-Farmer James Hilton (Helton) did not own Slaves 1830 Census Male Household members C=1 male age 10-15 (Born 1815-1820) D=1 Male age 15-20 (Born 1805-1810) E=1 Male age 20-30 (Born 1800-1810) H=1 Male age 50-60 (Born 1770-1780)
1820 Washington County Georgia Census Female Household Members G=1 female age 0-10 (Born 1810-1820) H=1 female age 10-16 (Born 1804-1810) I=1 female age 16-26 (Born 1794-1804) J=1 female age 26-45 (Born 1775-1794) 1830 Census Female Household Members O=1 female age 10-15 (Born 1815-1820) T=1 Female age 50-60 (Born 1770-1780) |
| Using these data it can be assumed that James Helton was married and had three sons infant to 16 years old, which correlates to the 1830 Randolph County census. In the 1820 census he has three daughter vs one daughter age 10-15 in the 1830 census. However, these two missing daughters would have become marrying age during the space of this 10 year Census period and the remaining daughter would substantiate the remaining data point by corresponding age in both Census'. These are the number of children living in his household and does not include children who may have households of their own. Assuming son's ages are in a correct range for the 1830 census, this places James Helton's son's birth date range from 1800 to 1820 and 1804 and 1820 in the 1820 Census which further substantiates that James Hilton-Washington, Randolph Land Lottery winner and James Helton 1830 Randolph Census are the same person. John Conelas Helton (born in 1818) is within this date range and would have been one of the two (A) Children listed in both the 1820 and 1830 Census'. |
| Assuming James Helton is the 50-60 year old male in the 1830 Census, which placed his birth date between 1770-1780; This additional information (1820 Census) would further limit his birth date to 1770-1775 due to the difference in age assessment periods of the two Census'. |
| The two Census overlap somewhat in age which allows us to pinpoint James Helton's age more closely. In 1820 he is listed as 45 or older, then 10 years later in the 1830 Census he is listed in the 50-60 year old range. Using these data, to fall within both data collection groups he would have had to be 45-50 at the time of the 1820 Census to be within the 50-60 range 10 years later during the 1830 Randolph County Census. |
| We know that, at some the "Helton" name changed to Hilton in the John Conelas Helton lineage. It could have been Hilton all along and never changed with the exception of the James Helton/John Conelas Helton generations of the family. This could have been due to 1827 Georgia Land Lottery issues and how the Land was awarded (name). If the land was awarded to James Helton, he could have taken the "helton" name and once the land passed from James Helton to John Conelas and then to Thomas Quitman, Thomas began using his rightful Hilton family name. |
Statistics Analysis Abraham Hilton |
| Abraham Helton Age 16-26 Born 1794-1800 Probably about 20-26 based on daughters' ages and 1820-30 Census'. | 1820 Washington County Georgia Census Male Household Members D=1 male age age 16-26 (Born 1794-1804) Category M = Occupation-Farmer Abraham Hilton (Helton) did not own Slaves 1830 Census Male Household Members A= 1 male age 0-5 (Born 1825-1830) F=1 male age 30-40 (Born 1790-1800)
1820 Washington County Census Female Household Members G=2 Female ages 0-10 (Born 1810-1820) I= Female age 16-26 (Born 1794-1804) 1830 Census Female Household members M=2 Females age 0-5 (Born 1825-1830) N=1 Female age 5-10 (Born 1820-1825) O=1 Female age 10-15 (Born 1815-1820) R=1 Female age 30-40 (Born 1790 - 1800) |
| Using these data, it can be assumed that Abraham Helton was married and had one son age 0-5 and four daughters age 0-10. This son would have been too young to be John Conelas but John Conelas could be Abraham's brother. Since James and Abraham moved to Randolph County, it is feasible they were Father/Son. |
| This Abraham Helton son was too young (born between 1825-1830) to be John Conelas Helton, but Abraham Helton may have been the son of James Helton and the oldest brother of John Conelas Helton. Their listing (James and Abraham) on the census together indicates they probably lived together on the same farm, and since James Helton was 20 years older than Abraham Helton, they could have been father/son. Since James Helton also had a son who was 20-30 (Census), a 30-40 year old (oldest) son would have been likely for a 50-60 year old man of this period. It would have been highly unlikely that James would not have had a child until he reached his late 20's or early 30's during this historical period with a wife of similar age. |
| With the data range of children's ages and Abrahams age, it was likely that Abraham was probably about 35 years old during this census. However, the data range gives an estimated birth date (for Abraham) of 1790 - 1800. Using this date range with James' birth date range (1770-1780), (if they were father/son) James would have been around a median of 20 years old when Abraham was born. |
| While this data is not conclusive it is likely that James was the father of John Conelas Helton and Abraham was the brother of John Conelas. |
| There are no other Helton's or Hilton's listed in the 1830 Randolph County Census. |
| The data ranges of the 1820 and 1830 Census help us narrow down Abraham Helton's probable age. In 1820, he was listed as head of household in the 16-26 year old range. Ten (10) years later he was listed as head of household in the 30-40 year old range. This places his minimum age in the 1820 census at 20 and maximum age at 26 (36 years old for the 1830 Census). His oldest daughter would have been 5 years old in the 1820 Census based on data correlation which would probably place his 1820 age at 24-26 years old and was probably born around 1795. If Abraham Helton was James Helton's son, James would have been about 20-21 years old when Abraham was born. |
Statistics Analysis Richard Hilton |
| Richard Hilton Age 26-45 Born 1775-1994 Richard was a farmer and owned no slaves | 1820 Washington County Census Male Household members A=3 male age 0-10 (born 1810-1820) B=1 male age 10-16 (born 1804-1810) C=1 male age 26-45 (born 1775-1794)

| Richard Hilton could be related to James Hilton (Helton). Based on his age, James Hilton's age, and those of Richard's children, Richard could have been James Hilton's brother. At this time we have no correlating data points to confirm this relationship exist. |
