William had five siblings: John (1810-1810), Mary (1811-1826), Jane (1817-1877), Sarah (1820-1889), and Margaret (1823-1869).
William married Eliza Drake (1814-1896), daughter of Aaron Drake (1765-1824) and Margaret Gulick (1783-1869) on Jan. 14, 1837 at the Presbyterian Church in Mt. Olive, NJ.
They had seven children: Samuel J. (1837-1909), Thomas K. (1839-1843), my great-grandfather John H. (1842-1920), Martha A. (1845-1914), William T. (1848-1920), Charles (1853-1874), and Philip G. (1859-1935).
Although William's grave has not been located I'm guessing the grave is in Mount Olive Union Cemetery for no other reason than it was originally the Mount Olive Presbyterian Church Cemetery, the church where he was married, and Eliza's death certificate lists her burial as being in Mount Olive.
Any of the four photographs I added could be the grave markers for Eliza Drake Hilts or William Caskey Hilts.
William's death certificate spells his name as "Hiltz"
