benjamin giles and telitha hyden - census data for 1860
though i have not uncovered anything beyond undocumented family histories, at least two of benjamin and telitha’s descendants say that benjamin giles was a son of william giles and polly huston/houston. telitha hyden (aka hyten/heiten/hitten/etc) was a daughter of richard hyden and sarah lane. several members of both the giles and hyden families lived for a time in roane county, tennessee, before migrating to bradley county, tennessee, and then on to gentry county, missouri. many giles descendants stayed in the roane co, tn area.
