Jane McGehee
Recent evidence has come to us through the expert research of some of our cousins, indicating that the woman named Jane McGehee who married Hayden Hilton was NOT our wife of James after all. That it was a possible other child of James and Jane named Jane.
Here is a copy of her marriage
certificate. It states that Miss Jane McGehee married Mr Hayden
Hilton and permission was given by her father, James McGehee.

This would indicate that the
Sarah Jane Hilton on the 1840 and 50 census of Lawrence County
Mo, was not the daughter of Jane McGehee (James' wife) but
actually the grandaughter of
James and Jane McGehee.
Below is the rest of the marriage licence.
The only child known of this marriage between Jane and Hilton is Sarah Jane Hilton who married Rev Cyrus Cepal Bryant. They had the following children.
Martha Ann Bryant Bn Lawrence
