I am researching the Hilton and Thomas surnames. My grandfather was Fred O. Thomas. (son of William Robert Thomas and Liz Catherine "Katie" Parvin) of Wheelerville, MO. He died in 1948, m Susie Hilton, daughter of Lemon Hilton and Mary Elizabeth Maddox. Lemon's parents were William S. Hilton and Elizabeth Owen. William's parents were Enos Bird Hilton b. 1800 and Anna Belle Bailie/Baillie.
