I'm hoping it has where and when he was born because there are too many John Hilton's. You can contact the Stanislaus Co. Clerk-Recorder, www.stancounty.com/clerkrecorder/ and ask if they have marriage certificates back to 1871. I did find the index of the marriage cert at familysearch.org. I also found the index of the marriage to B. F. Robinson, 11 Nov 1874, Stanislaus Co., CA. Spouse=Sarah Hilton. I found the Thomas LeRoy Chandler jr. family tree, http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/10772798/person/-580788097 which shows a Eli Fisher Ben Robison b. March 1850, IA married a Sarah Hilton about 1870 in CA. You might want to contact the tree owner and see if they have any additional information. You also might want to contact the Genealogical Society of Stanislaus County, cagenweb.com/lr/stanislaus/gssc.html who does research. Successful Searching!
