Individual Details

Elizabeth Hylton/Helton is thought to be buried Thompson-Bolt Cemetery in Carroll Co VA. She may have been the daughter of Samuel Helton. Those who believe that Charles Mabry married twice, suggest Elizabeth died before February 1836.

Some say her parents were John Hylton/Helton and Obedience Cox and she was a sister to Elias Hylton. Some online databases say John & Obedience did have a daughter Elizabeth, b. 1769, and married to Henry Hylton, probably a cousin. John & Obedience married 24 Nov 1757, St. James Northam, Goochland. John Hilton & Obedience Cox had a son George born 20 May 1761, Goochland Co, VA, baptized 13 Sep 1761 at St. James Northam. They must have left Goochland soon after. Others say that Elizabeth was the widow of Elias Hylton or that the second wife Sarah named in the estate settlement of Charles Mabry was the widow of Elias. Elias Hylton left a will in 1825 - if Sarah was the mother of Samuel & Susanna as their death records state - then the widow of Elias was NOT their mother.

There is a Memorial headstone, Thompson-Bolt Cemetery, Carroll Co VA, placed many years after the fact, with three names. Sarah Elizabeth Helton Mabry with no dates and the notation "believed buried here". Charles G. Mabry also listed on the stone, as is Sarah Mabry who died 24 Aug 1846.

What makes the most sense is that Charles was first married to Elizabeth Helton, daughter of John & Obedience Cox. But then those death records of Samuel, b. 1802, and Susanna, b. 1806, name their mother as SARAH. If the first wife died and Charles remarried, it is quite possible he married the widow of Elizabeth's brother Elisha, whose wife was indeed named Sarah. But Elisha left a will in Grayson Co in January of 1825, naming his wife Sarah and his children, precluding that his widow was the mother of any of Charles Mabry's children. Sarah, wife of Elisha had no proved surname. I doubt that either lady had both names Sarah and Elizabeth. It is possible there was never an Elizabeth as I've not found her name in any record.

This is a major discrepancy - there are death records for children Samuel S. (b. 1802) and Susanna (b. 1804) in a database on FamilySearch.org. Both of these cite Sally, or Sarah, Mabry as their mother. This seems to discredit a wife who died in 1836 - unless both of Charles Mabry's wives were named Sarah.
