Good morning to all, I am searching for information on the ASHTON and HILTON families of the county of Lancashire in England. My g-g-grandfather was James Hilton ASHTON. He was born 5-24-1817 in county of Lancashire in the parish of Oldham and left Liverpool on May 26, 1840 and arrived in America on July 4, 1840. His parents were Thomas ASHTON and Ann HILTON. He came to Mt. Pleasant in 1841 in Maury County in Tennessee. He was married to Julia Ann BUTLER, 9-5-1848. Julia's father was John BUTLER. James and Julia had children, John Butler, Mary Lou, James H, Samuel F., and Robert Lee (my Great-grandfather), all of whom are buried in Maury County, Rose Hill Cemetery. Two other children that died at a young age, Marshall and Ann E., are buried in the Daimwood Cemetery in Maury County. Thanks in advance for any information anyone might be able to provide me on either the ASHTON, BUTLER, or HILTON families. Marsha
