Hi Karlan, I know that it has been a while since we have talked - about the Langstons and Hill family tree... But I am on the Bibb County Roots list serv, and there has been alot of activity regarding the need for information about the Hills. I am CCing this to the list, because alot of folks have responded and had questions. I have responded by saying that Richard Hill's mother, Elizabeth Hill had him illigitimately, perhaps due to prostitution or other reasons. There is now discussion on this list serv that the Hills were Native American or had some connection as African American. So could it be possible that the illigitimacy could be connected to the shame of being related to AA or NA? I am attaching the other e-mails that have this discussion. It would be great if you could chime in on this, since you have done some research on this. I know that you have gotten stuck with info on Elizabeth Hill. I think that there are others who might have some more information.... -- Jo Ellen Holmes fromdianehammsciara@aol.com reply-toalbibb@rootsweb.com togc-gateway@rootsweb.com, albibb@rootsweb.com dateSat, Aug 16, 2008 at 9:15 PM subjectRe: [ALBIBB] Hill Family mailing list<albibb.rootsweb.com> Filter messages from this mailing list mailed-byrootsweb.com hide details Aug 16 (2 days ago) Reply Still trying to research James W.

The Elizabeth that I know of is supposed to be of Native American descent and from the area around Abercrombie and Harrisburg. This may or may not be the Hill family you are speaking of. Richard Hill is one of those. Who specifically are you looking for?

The old picture I have of Richard Hill looks very native american.? My grandmother told me before she died in 1996 that he was native american.? I think I found him as J. W. Hill age 6 on the 1860 census.? No father is listed.? His father could have been black.? I am lost here.

Aren't all of the past emails stored somewhere on rootsweb or albibb. I don't know if there's anything helpful, but I do know that the Hill name has come up before and has been linked to the Hendersons before also. ----- Original Message ----- From: "JoEllen Holmes" <jholmeslcsw@gmail.com> To: "h19k4hjohnkarlan" <h19k4hjohnkarlan@aol.com> Cc: <albibb@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, August 18, 2008 9:22 PM Subject: [ALBIBB] Hill family > Hi Karlan, > > I know that it has been a while since we have talked - about the Langstons > and Hill family tree... > But I am on the Bibb County Roots list serv, and there has been alot of > activity regarding > the need for information about the Hills. > I am CCing this to the list, because alot of folks have responded and had > questions. > > I have responded by saying that Richard Hill's mother, Elizabeth Hill had > him illigitimately, perhaps due to prostitution or other reasons. > There is now discussion on this list serv that the Hills were Native > American or had some connection as African American. > So could it be possible that the illigitimacy could be connected to the > shame of being related to AA or NA? > > I am attaching the other e-mails that have this discussion. > It would be great if you could chime in on this, since you have done some > research on this.
