Hi Ray. Yes, I am from the lines of Hill and Gilbreath. Hill is by marriage, however, coming down from James Russel Hill b:1818 to William Russell Hill, b:1856. William married my grandmother, Georgia Ann McSpadden, as her first marriage, and they lived in Carter Co, MO. Later, around 1903, she married John Piner Chambers, my GF, and they lived in NE Ark. I am a direct descendent in the Gilbreath line from my GGGF, Elias M Reeves, b:1817, who married my GGGM, Lerissa Gilbreath, b:1821, and they lived in Independence Co, Ark. Is there anything there you can use? Thanks. Paul Reeves At 10:37 PM 01/09/2001 -0600, you wrote: >Is anyone researching the surnames of HILL and COKER? If so, would like >to hear from you.
