Married Sarah Todd on September 3, 1848 in Barry County, MO. She preceded Martin in death in 1854
Married Martha J. Hudson on April 22, 1855 in Barry County, MO
Martin Hilton served in the Civil War,
"Federal Soldier"
His obituary reads December 1913, Cassville Republican: A Pioneer Citizen Dead: One among Barry county's early pioneer citizens died at his home on Flat Creek about two miles below McDowell Wednesday night of last week, aged about 85 years. His death was due to his advanced age complication of disease. The deceased was one of this county's earliest settlers, coming here in 1840's. Since that date he lived until his death on the same farm and by the practice of economy, a common necessity among the early pioneers of our country, he soon became one of the most substantial farmers of his community. In his prime of life he took an active interest in the affairs relating to the material advancement of the county and was recognized as an influential citizen. The long residence caused his long life to become closely identified with affairs of the county and this section of the state for more than three scores of years. His death marks the passing away of one of the county's oldest settlers, who have been passing away rapidly during the past few years. Those remaining who were here in the forties are few. Martin is buried in the Keaton Cemetery, along with his wife, Martha J. {Hudson} Hilton; 1832-1889.
