[12360] There are a lot of unknowns in regard to the life of Thomas Hildreth...such as his actual birthdate and when he emigrated to America. Early Hildreth Association publications were probably in error in regard to the name of at least one son....Peter Hildreth. Jonathan is being substituted for Peter but more research of the Southampton records is necessary. Jane Hildreth Kelley, in her article about Thomas Hildreth (Hildreth Highlights, Vol. XXVI, No. 3, April 2003) seems to have a good start at sorting out the various Hildreth families.
[15230] It would help to have the marriage record for Hannah Horton and Thomas Hildreth and appropriate records need to be searched. According to the speculation of Jane Hildreth Kelley in her recent article for Hildreth Highlights (Apr. 2003), the four children of Thomas and Hannah would have been born between 1643 and 1658. If the baptismal record for Hannah is correct, she would have been only 14 when the first child was born. My speculation would be that Hannah married at about age 16 (circa 1645) and had four children by Hildreth by 1657.
Hannah married Jonas Bower that same year and had at least two sons by him. Jonas died ca 1670/71 and by 1680 Hannah was named in her father's will as his eldest daughter, Hannah Trevale. Several sources show the spelling of his name as "Trevally".
Many of the early researchers did not have Hannah's last name and I believe they were speculating that her marriage to Trevale was her first, rather than her third marriage.
Thomas Hildreth died a young man of approximately 46 years of age in 1657, leaving behind his widow, Hannah, and three small children. (Other references indicate four children).
Hannah ( --) (Hildreth) Bower was almost certainly Hannah (Horton) (Hildreth) (Bower) Trevally. The will of Barnabas Horton of Southold, dated 10 May 1680 .... mentions eldest daughter "Hannah Trevale." The inventory of Thomas Trevally was taken 13 Jan. 1687 but the court record does not give the first name of the widow......mentions Thomas Trevally as having been a successor to and in right of Jonah Bower, deceased...

[10669] It is possible that William Hildreth has been incorrectly identified as the son of Jeffrey Hildreth. He was not mentioned in the will of Jeffrey, he used the spelling "Heldreth" and remained in Virginia when the rest of the family moved to Kentucky. William's wife seems to have been of German descent, while the other Hildreth family members intermarried with English or Scotch-Irish families.
