One of my great-grandmothers had the maiden name of Colton which I have managed to trace back as
far as Robert Colton who was born in 1786 in Nash, Bucks. He married Mary Harding in Whaddon in
1811 and their children were George (1820), John (1821) and Sarah (1822).
John Colton who was born in 1821 married Elizabeth Illing from Nash, in Whaddon in 1841. They had two children, Keziah Jolley Colton in 1843 and Zilpha Colton in 1844. Elizabeth sadly became infected with tuberculosis and two years after the birth of her second daughter, she passed away in 1846. John, left with two daughters to care for must have appreciated some help from Elizabeths sister, Sarah Ann Illing. He married Sarah Ann and went on to have a further three children, Keziah Grace (1853), Christopher Caleb (1859) and Reuben William (1861). Reuben William Colton married Jane Elizabeth Matthews in Thornborough Church, Bucks in 1884. Reuben and Jane had the following children, Sarah Elizabeth (1884), John William (1885), Keziah (1886), David (1887), Rose (1888), Reuben (1889), Sidney David (1890) and George (1891-94). Sarah Elizabeth Colton was my great-grandmother who married King George Henson in Passenham, Bucks in 1909. The photo below shows the wedding party at Sarah's brother Sidneys wedding. Present are the Grooms parents, Reuben and Jane Henson along with all his siblings including sister Sarah with husband King Henson and their children.
