Healton/Helton Family History

I am a little confused on my Healton/Helton ancestors.  What I do know is that Abraham Christopher Helton born about 1770 died between 1808-1861, was my 5th great grandfather.  He was married to Rebecca Vestal on 30 October 1801 in Surry County, North Carolina.  There are many family trees online, but several have conflicting information, especially on dates and generations.

It is presumed that A.C. Helton was the son of Abraham Helton who was the son of Peter Helton.  However, some trees show an extra Peter or no Abraham.  Without documentation, I can not safely say what the correct ancestry may be.
