We are now building family pages for each family

Now looking for information/family ties to father of James Helton and which Peter Helton son/grandson or brother was James' father.

Helton Family Tree

The tabs to the left actually show the earliest origin that we've tracked and work backward to present. Currently, the James Helton File (to the left) is the oldest confirmation we have. As you open the James Helton page, the tabs to the left will change to show his children. From there John Conelas, then Thomas Quitman's family is completed up to current day. The tabs will change with each parent or child. If your tabs are there but the pages are blank, provide us with the information to fill these pages. If your tabs are missing, you could be the missing link. As we make contact with all of James Helton's children's ancestors (Thomas Quitman's brother and sisters) and they fill in the result for their family history, we will be able to get a more complete lineage.

It's possible that finding these long lost Cousins could help us in making the connection between James Helton and Peter Helton Sr. At this point we are unsure whether james Helton was a Peter Helton Grandson (and which Peter Helton son was his father) or whether he was the son of a Peter Helton Brother. There may be a lost family bible, death or birth certificates, will, land purchase receipt or other records of value that everyone would like to see. Make a scanned copy or photo image of these records and send them to us. We will upload them to the website so everyone can enjoy the keepsake.

We are now following leads from South Carolina. While every Hilton/Helton lays claim to Peter Helton, not every Peter Helton son has been thoroughly documented. Also, John Helton, Peter's Father had several sons. Not much is known about the brothers of Peter. Rather than taking the short route as so many have done (in tying roots to peter), we would like to fully develop the John and Peter Helton ancestral line, identify both the their brothers and sons and relieve Peter of some of the child support payments he is responsible for since more than 10,000 direct descendants claim Peter, rightly or wrongly. Once more brothers and sons are found I think more brick walls will come down.
