Individual Details

The census indicated Emarilla was perhaps born in 1856 or 1857. I imagine the date of her birth as 23 Apr 1859, given in the McColman book is on her grave marker. Her death date is given as 27 Feb 1878, but this is obviously an error, as she had twins born in 1891 and she has a Virginia Death Certificate. She actually died 17 Feb 1915. The Certificate states she was born 23 Apr 1857.

She married Andrew Jackson Hylton, son of George and Annie Marie Harman Hylton, 27 Feb 1879, Floyd Co, VA. She was 22; he was 25. His parents listed as George and Mary Hylton; hers as Matthew and Ituria Weeks.
