Strong belief she was a PALMATORY and was married to Jonathan HILTON before marrying George Naylor. There is a marriage record in the book, Missouri marriage to 1840, that shows a marriage between Jonathan Hilton and Margaret Fannin, on 9 Jan 1838 in Ralls county, Missouri. Could this be her? >> No, would not be the same one. Howard County Missouri, Marriage records Book 1 1816 to 1833 Jonithan Helton married Margaret Palmatery, 15 July 1831, Howard Co., MO, Book 1, Pg. 240 (This is a break, as I believe this is Jonathan Hilton, and the maiden name of Margaret was Palmatory) 1898 The Higbee News 29 Apr 1898--RENICK ITEMS--Mrs. Margaret Naylor died at the home of Jesse Kirby between Burton and Myres on April 22, 1898, at the ripe old age of 83 years, 4 months and 3 days. She was born in Kentucky on December 19, 1814. She first married Jonathan Hilton and subsequently Geo. T. Naylor, in 1838. By this marriage she had 3 sons and 2 daughters, all of whom are now living and married, save one daughter who died many years ago. Mrs. Naylor was step-mother to Rev. Silas B. Naylor, who has always with the most tender care and anxiety looked after the interests and welfare of his mother. Mrs. Naylor was buried in New Hope cemetery on Sunday the 24th, and services were conducted at the church, where a large number of friends and relatives were assembled to do honor and justice to the memory of one who was greatly esteemed and loved. Sister Naylor joined the Missionary Baptist Church at Mount Gilead, Howard county, early in the 40's, under the ministry of "Uncle" Billy Duncan, and continued up to the time of her death, a faithful and devoted member of the same church. We often see one remaining for some years a member of their first church but how very seldom does one remain for over half a century a member of the church into which she was baptized.®292 Howard County Missouri, Marriage records Book 2 1834 to April 1844 1838 George T. NAYLOR married Peggy HELTON , 8 Nov 1838, Book 2, pg 99 1838 George T. NAILOR, administrator of estate of Ignatius HILTON, dec'd, d. int. 11 Nov 1838. Sec: George T. NAILOR, William B. MUNRO, Stephen COX. $200. [from Howard Co. Wills and Administrations 1818-1840, compiled by Carolyn Bartels) I believe Ignatius Hilton is the same as Jonathan Hilton....only problem I see is that Ignatius Hilton died on 11 Nov 1838 and George and Margaret "Peggy" married on the 8th of Nov 1838. Maybe that was an application and not the actual marriage date. Either way..if it is the same couples...they were ready for old John to go.... Linda
