Mildred Maxine Hilton
A number of years ago, our mother, Millie, began writing a book. My sister now has it and I am attempting
to get my hands on Mom's hand written pages so we
may include them here.
Mom hand-wrote many stories, which we could nevery truly connect. It is hoped to include them all
here as
"Mom's Missouri Memories"
"Don't Look Back"
I do have a revised version of the first page I revised several years ago, the results of which follow below:
There is an inner feeling of joy and a touch of pride which glows within whenever I think of how many years
I simply pondered the thoughts of writing this book. Sitting here in my cozy kitchen nook and jotting down on paper
how "Don't Look Back", got it's beginning, is the forfillment of a personal dream of mine, shich has pulled at my inner core
over several decades.
God knows how I feel about those great Missouri Ozarks, their magestic beauty, a blessing to the mortal
eye, but only to be truly appreciated by those who lived through and could understand the severe difficulties living here
promised.
I grew up here when people were busy trying to cut a meeger living out of the hills, valleys and creeks,
which today still sit quietly neslted amongst these magnificient mountains.
The people are a part of me. It was another time, time past, yet never forgotten. There they
were, waiting, going no where, merely mortels, trying to survive while still managing to enjoy God's great Blassings.
Tabor owned much of the land in Christian Co., Mo., located in the southwestern corner of this state.
In those times cattle roamed the land in open range.....(Note here: More on Table & why you mentioned him-reason to link
him in later.).......
Piney Ridge, was known as the Pinery. It's people and their social events were echoed from hollow
to ridge.
< This is the only page I have to enter at this time. Hopefully, I will get the rest of Mom's hand-written
Memoirs before too long! >

John Hilton 1720 - 1790
(Recieved from Homer Johnson, W.W. Washington)
John Hilton was born in St. Mary's County, Maryland and apparently lived most of his life in that area.
He moved to Guilford, Co. N.C. about 1784 when he was 64 years old. His sister, Mary, died without marrying and John
was given power of attorney by the other four N.C. children to return to Maryland to settle her estate.
The Hiltons in Maryland were Episcopalians. In North Carolina they became followers of Youbal Sterns,
the crusader for the Baptist Church and the most noted Baptist preacher and organizer in N.C. The Hiltons joined his
church at Sandy Creek.
The will of John Hilton, dated August 14, 1788 was probated in the June term of the court in 1790 (Randolph
County, N.C. Will Book No. 1, p. 80). In it he provides for the support of his wife and gives 290 acres of land to his
son, Samuel. After John's death, the Reverend Samuel Hilton moved westward to Virginia and returned to sell his inheritance
on December 26, 1795 to David Jones of Randolph County. He mentions in the transaction that the land was that willed
to him by his father.
***
John Hilton b. 1720 m. Nancy ____ b. abt 1723 in St. Mary's Co., MD.
Children of John & Nancy were:
1. John b. abt 1751
2. James b. abt 1753
3. Andrew b. 1757, St. Mary's Co., MD
4. Jonathon b. abt 1760
5. Thomas b. abt 1762
6. Samuel b. 1766, St. Mary's Co., Va.
Samuel Hilton was born in St. Mary's County, Maryland and moved with his father to North
Carolina when he was about 18 years old. He lived there only 5 or 10 years, marrying Nancy Bird in
1787. Under the influence of Youbal Stern (also called Shubal Sterns or Starnes) he became a Baptist preacher.
Sometime between 1790 and 1791, Samuel and his family moved west to "Kentucky Land". They settled in the Mawqueson (Moccasin)
Creek area near the Tennessee line in what is now Scott County, Virginia (formed in 1815 from parts of Lee, Russell and Washington
County). At that time the Clinch Mountain was the line between Russell County to the north and Washington County to
the south.
The homesite selected by Samuel was on the North Fork of the Holston River where the Little Valley joins
the river. The site is approximately five miles east of Moccasin Gap, a famous landmark and the first of several "most
dangerous" portions of the WIlderness Trail to Kentucky. The Gap was first visited by Daniel Boone (1735-1820) in 1769.
Rev. Samuel was the first preacher in this section of the western settlements. He and Rev. Jesse Wilson
traveled widely by horseback to minister to the scattered families settling along the Wilderness Trail. In 1803 the
two preachers and 11 others from Washington and Russell Counties helped organize the Double Spring Church of Tennessee (near
the Tennessee Eastman Plant in Kingsport). Two years of attendence at such a distance probably convinced them of the
need for a church in the Moccasin Creek area. On October 26, 1803 the "United Baptist Church of Christ at Big Moccasin
Gap" was founded. It was the first church established in Scott County. The 13 members "loaned" from the
Tennessee church were Rev. Samuel and Nancy Hilton, Rev. James Wilson, Samuel Strong, Margaret Davidson, WIlliam Quillen,
Ann Black, Rebecca McClellan, Priscilla Jeffries, Teague Quillen, Polly and Samuel Eastep and Polly Wilshire. The next
day 4 more joined the church. By 1812 there were over 50 members. Among the new members for that year were William
and Sarah Cody, grandparents of "Buffalo Bill" Cody.
The following tribute to Rev. Samuel was written by James B. Taylor in "Virginia Baptist Ministers Series
1" published in 1859: "Elder Hilton lived and died in Scott County. He possessed a Vigorous intellect, and although
the Stores of learning were not placed within his reach, this deficiency was in some measure supplied by habit of clare thinking
and the thorough investigation of those subjects upon which he brought his mind to bear; In the early history of Virginia
Baptist he entered the Ministry of reconciliation, having himself felt the power of the gospel in his own salvation.
He continued until within a few years back, a fathful, laborous laborer in the Kingdom of Christ. He was highly respected
and esteemed by all Classes, and was eminently useful in the work of preaching the gospel."
Rev. Samuel died April 24, 1830. His funeral was preached by Elder David, who took his
text from Job: 23-35. Wife, Nancy, born 1766, died February 5, 1835. Her funeral was from the first verse of Corinthians.
Lands. Although Samuel's son, John, is known as the big land holder of the area, it seems that Samuel
also acquired extensive holdings. The homesite on the river was obtained sometime prior to 1800 and has been in the
family ever since.
Samuel probably acquired all of the land for a mile upstream from his home. During the 1870's his
grandson, John H. Hilton, obtained an "exact story" of part of a deed (with a survey of the eastern boundary) dated March
12, 1816, which shows transfer of land from John Hickam and wife, to Samuel Hilton. The land bordered that of Henry
Moore and ran south to the river. The original land grant, dated August 8, 1811 (found among the papers of William H.
Hilton, eldest son of John H. Hilton) was made to John Hickam in payment for services rendered in the Revolutionary War, includes
55 acres on both sides of the river, and was signed by Governor Greoge William Smith of Virginia. In the same collection
with this grant, a deed dated 1811 was found in which Hickam bought 100 acres from Abraham Fulkerson and his wife, Sarah.
The deed states it is land granted Fulkerson in 1785. This is probably land at the mouth of Dowell Creek.
Samuel's lands were widely scattered throughout southwest Virginia. At Lebonon, Virginia, Deed Book
#3, p. 725 states that on March 4, 1806 Samuel Ewing, attorney for Richard Smith of London, England sold Samuel 111 acres
on the Clinch River. Samuel sold this land to David Cox in 1818. Richard Smith was the first land speculator in
what is now Wise County, gaining possession of more than 300,000 acres on the north side of Clinch River.
One verbal report relates that Rev. Samuel gave each of his five children a square mile of land. This
seems plausible from limited information in later papers. Two of Samuel's sons, John and Jonathan, remained in Scott
County. John probably added to Samuel's original holdings. John obtained Samuel's western lands, including the
homeplace, while Jonathan acquired the eastern lands. This assumption is based on the fact thtat the lands lying two
to three miles upstream were held by Jonathan's descendants for many years. Jonathan's son, William Ode, received a
land grant, signed by William Smith, (a second Governor of Virginia by this name) in 1846. The 30 and one-half acre
tract was on both sides of Roberts Creek and was bounded on the north and west by Jonathan Hilton, on the south by James Larkey
and on the east by William King. Jonathan's lands seemed to have run north from Roberts Creek, across the river (through
the "lower place" or western third of the James H. Hilton farm on the map), into the Little Valley and eastward to make a
crescent around the Peters' land to a corner at the north bank of the river and continuing up the valley north of the......

The Walnut Shade-Spokane Road
The Walnut Shade-Spokane Road, another alternate route for a part of the Harrison-Springfield Road, was
opened for travel in the early summer of 1882 by R. P. Austin, William Hilton, A. L. Keithley and
his son J. W. A. Keithley.(4)
Mr. Hilton, who then owned the bottom farm in the forks of Bull and Bear
Creek, first conceived the idea of the Chestnut Ridge Road in hope of diverting over it some of the travel from the Harrison-Springfield
Road. Mr. Hilton, like Mr. Boston, wanted to profit from the freight wagon business.
He reasoned that his location at the south end of the ridge road would provide a suitable camp site where he might market
his corn, fodder, sheaf oats and other supplies. The opening of the Walnut Shade-Spokane Road was delayed for a time
because the Boston Road had diverted considerable travel from the old Bull and Bear Creek route of the Harrison-Springfield
Road.
The Walnut Shade-Spokane Road followed the main divide between Bull Creek and Bear Creek, known now as Chestnut
Ridge, from the mouth of Bear Creek at Walnut Shade to a point near Spokane in the Wilderness Road and the Harrison-Springfield
Road.
From the pen of Judge Keithley, the source of this information, the reader can see how the road was
opened for travel:
"The road machinery consisted of two chopping axes, a hatchet and an ox wagon. The power was a yoke
of oxen and transportation was one gray mare.
"I was the driver of the oxen; old man Hilton was the surveyor. His surveying insturment was a tomahawk.
We began at the Walnut Shade end of the route. I think it was in May or June. Hilton
was about 70 or 75 years of age, and he rode the gray mare. We could see her a long way off, as there was no underbrush
then. My father and Austin would follow Hilton, and I drove the ox team. We did
not have to cut many trees but had to move the ones that had fallen across the place where the road was to go. The work
went on for a number of days."
According to Mr. Keithley, it took some time to complete the opening-up process. The builders camped
along the way as they worked the road. At that time, it was all a virgin forest and not a person lived along the entire
route. In describing the wilderness through which the road was being built, Mr. Keithley said, "We could hear the howling
of timber wolves at night and the warning of the timber rattlers by day." The present highway that follows the principal
divide between Bear Creek and Bull Creek was, for the most part, built on or adjacent to the Walnut Shade-Spokane route, laid
out by Mr. Hilton, and his small crew in 1882.
