Hello list -

I'm hoping someone has some clues for me. David HILTON was born in Lunenburg Mass and
served in the Rev. War. He did not receive a pension. He married Mary Ann, Mary Anna
or Mary HAMMOND. They started having children about 1780. I think the first child died
young, then Polly or Mary, David, Samuel, Hannah, Levi, Annie, Clarissa & Roswell.
Many of the children listed Vermont as their birthplace, but I can find them in no
records. By 1810 they were in Monroe Co. NY, where David and Maryann died in 1822.
I've found lots on the HILTON ancestry, but nothing on HAMMOND. Their were some
Hammons in Lunenburg, but I can't prove they were Maryann's. Does anyone know anything
about Mary Ann HAMMOND?

Thank you - Kathy
