Surnames: HILL, LANCASTER, GRIFFITH A number of my HILL ancestors are buried in the Turkeytown Methodist Church Cemetery: Marshall and Margaret Griffith Hill were my great, grandparents. Their double marker (a relatively modern replacement by a child or grandchild, I'm sure) is near the entrance. The oldest HILL relative I know of there is Dennett Richardson Hill (1823-1883), Marshall's uncle. I saw Dennett's name and dates hand-carved on a slab of stone in the back left sectionof the graveyard the first time I visited there about 20 years ago. I couldn't find it on subsequent trips in recent years. There are books in the Alabama Room at the Gadsden Library that indicate who a number of the other people buried there are. Dennett and an extended group of related Hills moved from Elbert County, Georgia, to the area in 1846. According to Government Land Patent records on the internet, the cemetery land seems to have belonged at one time to Dennett's second wife, Amanda League Hill.
