Good morning everyone, I hope it is all right for me to thank all of you for the information in this one message, rather then send several messages. The Hill family has been very hard to research, and hard to find very much on them. I have often wondered what happened to the Barrett boys, and appreciate the information on the Civil War units they belonged to and their deaths. I will watch for the name Bithel Hill in my research. Thank you again....
