Pamela,
Josephus was the son of John Jr. and Nancy Hilton. I don't know Nancy's maiden name either. John was born about 1740 and died probably in 1803 in Rowan County. His probated will named his wife and seven children, Joseph, Lemuel, Thomas, John, Nancy, Sarah, and Josephus. A total of 646 acres was divided between the heirs.
John Jr. was the son of John and Nancy Hilton of St. Mary's County, MD. There were nine children, Chaney, Jane, Dorothy, John, James, Cloah, Jonathan, Thomas, and Samuel. John Sr. and his family moved down from Maryland in the 1770's. He and his sons received land grants and purchased many acres of land in both Randolph and Rowan Counties.
John Sr. died in 1790 in Randolph County, leaving 290 acres to his youngest son, Samuel. Later, Samel moved to the mountains of Virginia and the others remained in Rowan and Randolph Counties.
Josephus and Patience Kenneday Hilton were the parents of seven children, Thomas English, Mary Ann, Lorenzo, Truman, Randle, Jacob, and Glendora.
This is a small brief of this family but I hope it helps you at least a little.
