Why is Elizabeth not named in the will?
She and Benjamin had left NC long before 1817. Perhaps Thomas gave them her share when they married, or when they moved away. Usually, though, people mention such disbursements in their will to prevent problems with the administration.
Note that I do have DNA matches to descendants of Jeremiah and James.

This is probably him:
1810 census Wilkes Co NC p892, Wilkesborough
Thomas Hampton 1 M <10, 1 M 10-16, 1 M 45+, 2 F 10-16, 1 F 45+
[x, James 12, Thomas 66, x, x, Elizabeth 54]
There are several Thomas Hamptons in NC, but this is the only one in Wilkes Co.
This is probably him:
1800 census Wilkes Co NC p44, Morgan twp
Thomas Hampton 1 M <10, 2 M 10-16, 1 M 16-26, 1 M 45+, 3 F <10, 1 F 10-16, 1 F 26-45
[James 2, Livingston 11, Jacob 14, (Jeremiah 20 or Welcome 25), Thomas 56, x, x, x, x, Elizabeth 44]
This is the only Thomas Hampton in Wilkes Co. It looks like there were some daughters between Livingston and James.
Is this him?
1790 census Craven Co NC p131, twp not given
Thomas Hampton 1 M 16+, 3 M 0-15, 2 F
[Thomas 46, Welcome 15, Jeremiah 10, Jacob 4, Abigail, Elizabeth]
If so, Livingston was born after 1789, Judah was born after 1790, and Nancy was married before 1790.
Or is this him?
1790 census Stokes Co NC p180, twp not given
Thomas Hampton 3 M 16+, 1 M 0-15, 7 F
If so, Welcome was born before 1775 and so was Judah, two of the other sons were born later or died young, and he had many daughters I don't know about.
Stokes Co is near Wilkes Co, but Craven Co is on the other side of the state.
