have found an old book "Hall of Lawford Hall" on google books which talks
about Hilton family in essex,UK. also There were Charnolds and Hiltons birthing in lawford parish,essex,uk about 1600 ad .
another spellings may be Chilton???
While all is circumstancial, enough to suggest that Hightower name may be related to Hilton surname {ref Lawford Hall} in some fashion. There was a hilton on mayflower etc. Lawford Hall mentioned in domesday book. Trying to find a Hilton inimate enough with the king to be awarded lands in Virginia.

The foregoing statement is clear indication there is a Joshua Hightower, very much alive, residing in Richmond County, VA. It seems
logical to use this data to link John and the two Joshuas.
John Hightower, believed to have not resided in America, but having bought land in Richmond County, VA, in the early 1650's_whether he
was our immigrant ancestor is yet to be proven. My researched opinion is that he, indeed, was our immigrant ancestor and the Joshua
Hightower named in the suit filed in March, 1698, by Webb brothers was the Hightower I claim to be the husband of Eleanor Charnold and
the father of six children, two of which he named his will, probated in 1726, in Richmond County, VA. Numerous court cases are of record
in Richmond County 1698-1726 naming this Joshua Hightower.

The smallest of Dublin's Vict his is the data on Edward 1) SHEPARD'S wife Violet - she has been called
Violet WOLERTON - that is because of Gregory WOLERTON who remembered her
children in his will - the thought was she was Gregory's sister -
Perhaps it started from what is found in "The Shepard families of New
England" her surname was assumed to be WOLERTON the sister of Gregory.
NOT SO
Lawrence I. Shepard in his research in England found her surname to be
CHARNOLD the d/o John CHARNOLD -

LAWFORD: a village with nearly everything - housing, schools, industry, the countryside on its doorstep plus a mainline railway station, enabling visits to places of evening entertainment further away and still be able to get home late at night.
Thought originally to be Hall Ford, Lawford is to the west of Manningtree and bounded by the river Stour. It comes partly within the Dedham Vale, so from some vantage points in the parish there are fine views across Constable country.
King Harold before the Conquest held Lawford Hall and the D'Arcy and Waldegrave families subsequently owned it. It and Dale Hall owned most of the parish between them.
Lawford Hall was rebuilt in 1583 by Edward Waldegrave and was largely refurbished in the 18th century when a brick front was added. The hall, with its avenue of limes, adjacent church rectories and cottages, forms a very pleasant picture at the end of a lane, looking across the Stour. Externally, the house itself looks Georgian but behind the front of 1756 are Elizabethan walls, gabled wings, original chimney stacks and turreted stair turrets.
Although Lawford has possessed a church since Norman times, the present building is largely of 14th and later centuries. The chancel, which dates from 1340, is one of the best examples of Gothic work in Essex and is an ornated piece of decorated architecture. The windows are richly traceried and the carving on the sedilla, piscine and buttresses is flamboyant.
In the 19th century careful restoration took place and this included the unblocking of the very fine east window, which had until then been covered with wood. The massive tower was added in the 17th century. Of interest too, is a mass clock and some 600-year-old carvings in the chancel of birds, animals, flowers and country dancers. The hall was added in 1991.
Dale Hall, near Manningtree railway station, which is actually in Lawford, is the oldest house in the village. It was said to have been the place of execution of one of the men who burnt the Holy Rood of Dovercourt in the 16th century.
Like Shirburn Mill and the village itself, it is mentioned in the Domesday Book. The mill is thought to have had a Roman predecessor.
Since 1950 a great deal of housing development has taken place in the parish, including 620 homes on Lawford Dale while Honeycroft provides single room flats for the elderly.
The village has two primary schools and Manningtree High School, a well equipped Sports Hall, and a 14-acre recreation ground in School Lane, the base for senior and junior football clubs plus children's play equipment and two hard tennis courts. There are also play areas at Waldegrave Way and Riverview.
Ogilvie Hall in Wignall Street and the Scout Group's Venture Centre in Bromley Road are both available for meetings and social functions.
elow is Church Lawford's entry in the Domesday Book of 1086 A.D., or rather, Abraham Farley's 1783 Edition of it and a translation.
Abraham Farley's 1783 Edition :
Phillimore's 1976 Translation :
"hide" - a unit of land measure, reckoned as 120 acres (thus Church Lawford's 5 hides was equal to 600 acres).
"the Earl" - Earl Roger of Arundel and Shrewsbury.
"He" - Reginald, or Rainald de Bailleul.
"Ketelburn" - Chetelbert, holder of Church Lawford before the Conquest.
"Frenchmen" - literally men of France?
The Lawford industrial estate off Station Road houses a variety of businesses, some retail. Among the latter are takeaways, skip hire and animal feeds. The village's recycling centre is in Greensmill off Riverside Avenue West.
Going towards Suffolk are the Cattawade marshes, much of which is in Lawford. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds now owns part of the land and various bird watching and nature-based events are held there.
