This page will take a little longer. The Hampton line is not an easy one. Illinois records, mainly Henry County, were very sloppy at this time.
In other words, the people that kept the records were lazy. Please bear with me on this one. It might get done someday.
The first two[2]generations are unverified, but I am putting them up anyway in hope that someone somewhere can verify it.
I have come across some more information on my Hampton line. I will put up what I have found.
Thank you for your patience.

My line of the Hampton begins with Moses Hampton and Hanna Vanatta. Hoping to find the parents of them someday. If anyone recognizes any names please notify me by email....
Thank you for visiting and have a nice day.
