      THE CHILTON FAMILIES
      OF VIRGINIA AND MARYLAND
      By John Frederick Dorman

      GEORGE CHILTON
      ( -ca.1666)
      George Chilton, brother of Stephen and John Chilton of Lancaster Co., Va., appears to have settled on the
      Eastern Shore. There is reference to his will in 1666 but the will itself is not of record. Neither does
      George Chilton appear on the tithable lists of Northampton County during the years 1662-66. On 28 Nov. 1666
      the Court of Northampton County recorded:
      Whereas George Chelton deceased by his Last Will & Testamt made Nicholas Hudson & Tho. Getting
      Executors in trust to surrender his Estate unto his Brothers, if they came to demand it within a twelfe month, & Jno. Chelton pretendinge himselfe one of his Brothers & haveinge alsoe from another Brother called Stephen Chelton, (which came over the Bay) power from him before Mr John Andrews & Nicholas Hudson witnesses, to take the whole Estate into his Custody, hee haveing given him freely his pte, & the sd: John Chelton petitioninge to the Court to be invested with the sd: Estate, Capt. Wm. Spencer acknowledginge in open Court to bee securietie to the Court, that hee the sd: John Chelton is Brother to the sd: Geo: Chelton; Itt is therefore ordered, that the sd: Nicholas Hudson & Tho: Gettings shall forthwith deliver upp the sd:
      George Cheltons Estate unto the sd: John Chelton, hee haveing putt in securiety to the Clarke of the
      Court, to save the Court harmelesse, & to pay & discharge all iust debts & legacies as farr forth as
      the Estate extends, and the sd: John Chelton do paye charges of Court, and to bringe under his
      Brothers hand tthhaatt hee the sd: John hath his Brothers pte.
      It does not appear that George Chilton married or left descendants.
