Statistics Analysis (James Helton)
James Helton Age 50-60	1830 Randolph County Georgia Census Male Household members C=1 male age 10-15 (Born 1815-1820) D=1 Male age 15-20 (Born 1805-1810) E=1 Male age 20-30 (Born 1800-1810) H=1 Male age 50-60 (Born 1770-1780) 1830 Randolph County Georgia Census Female Household Members O=1 female age 10-15 (Born 1815-1820) T=1 Female age 50-60 (Born 1770-1780)
Using these data it can be assumed that James Helton was married and had three sons age 10-30 and a daughter age 10-15. These are the number of children living in his household and does not include children who may have households of their own. Assuming son's ages are in a correct range for the 1830 census, this places James Helton's son's birth date range from 1800 to 1820. John Conelas Helton (born in 1818) is within this date range.
Assuming James Helton is the 50-60 year old male in the Census, this places his birth date between 1770-1780
We know from family bible records that John Conelas Helton was born in 1818 (1813 according to 1880 Census estimates). This would have placed John Conelas Helton as the oldest son living in the household, when the 1830 Randolph GA County Census was taken. Abraham Helton, John's older brother now had 4 daughters and a son.

Statistics Analysis Abraham Helton
Abraham Helton Age 30-40	1830 Randolph County Georgia Census Male Household Members A= 1 male age 0-5 (Born 1825-1830) F=1 male age 30-40 (Born 1790-1800) 1830 Randolph County Georgia Census Female Household members M=2 Females age 0-5 (Born 1825-1830) N=1 Female age 5-10 (Born 1820-1825) O=1 Female age 10-15 (Born 1815-1820) R=1 Female age 30-40 (Born 1790 - 1800)
Using these data, it can be assumed that Abraham Helton was married and had one son age 0-5 and four daughters age 0-15
This Abraham Helton son was too young (born between 1825-1830) to be John Conelas Helton, but Abraham Helton may have been the son of James Helton and the oldest brother of John Conelas Helton. Their listing (James and Abraham) on the census together indicates they probably lived together on the same farm, and since James Helton was 20 years older than Abraham Helton, they could have been father/son. Since James Helton also had a son who was 20-30 (Census), a 30-40 year old (oldest) son would have been likely for a 50-60 year old man of this period. It would have been highly unlikely that James would not have had a child until he reached his late 20's or early 30's during this historical period with a wife of similar age.
With the data range of children's ages and Abrahams age, it was likely that Abraham was probably about 35 years old during this census. However, the data range gives an estimated birth date (for Abraham) of 1790 - 1800. Using this date range with James' birth date range (1770-1780), (if they were father/son) James would have been around a median of 20 years old when Abraham was born.
While this data is not conclusive it is likely that James was the father of John Conelas Helton and Abraham was the brother of John Conelas.
There are no other Helton's or Hilton's listed in the 1830 Randolph County Census.
Statistics Analysis (Richard Helton)

Richard Helton (Note that the Helton name is used on 1830 census--Hilton is used on 1820 Census for all Helton's indicating a handwriting translation issue.) Age 40-50	1830 Washington County Georgia Census Male Household Members B=1 Male age 5-10 (Born 1820-1825) C=1 Male Age 10-15 (Born 1815-1820) D=1 Male age 15-20 (Born 1810-1815) G=1 Male Age 40-50 (Born 1780-1790) 1820 Washington County Census Male Household members A=3 male age 0-10 (born 1810-1820) B=1 male age 10-16 (born 1804-1810) C=1 male age 26-45 (born 1775-1794) There were no Females in Richard's Home in 1830 indicating his wife and two daughters from the 1820 Census (who were now old enough to marry) were either deceased or had left the home 1820 Washington County Census Female Household members G=1 Female ages 0-10 (Born 1810-1820) H=1 female age 10-16 (Born 1804-1810) J=1 female age 26-45 (Born 1775-1794)
1820 and 1830 data Correlates for Children with 3 male children under 20 still at home in 1830. Wife was either deceased or had left the home. Youngest female would have barely been old enough to marry by the time of the 1830 Census.
There is no indication that Richard and James were related. Age difference could either indicate a younger brother or oldest son relationship, if any. It would be a higher probability that James Helton and Richard Helton were brothers. This family line should participate in the Helton DNA Testing Project to establish a relationship.
