He is my husband's great great grandfather. I have only encountered him as "Crofford Hill." Our line (mine by marriage -- my husband isn't too interested) goes thru his son William Crawford Hill who was born 22 Apr 1851 and died 12 July 1934. He is buried at the Homer Presbyterian Church in Homer. I have Richard Chamber's book "Cemeteries and Deaths in Banks Co, GA." I also had the pleasure of meeting him and talking about those Hills. In his book he indicates that William "Crofford" Hill's wife is Mary Elizabeth Mariett. I have never found a marriage record. I have not really looked for one though. I do have William Crawford Hill's death certificate (b1851 d1934). The death certificate indicates that his father was "Croff Hill" and that his mother's maiden name was "Miss Struese". For the life of me I cannot come up with anyone for miles and miles around the areas in which they lived with a name similar to that. Granted I could very well be wrong about my interpretation of the spelling; but not far enough off to be Marriet. I like the Marriet theory. William Crawford Hill (b1851 d1934) married Mary Etta Mason, daughter of John Clark Mason and Mary Francis Maret Mason. Oh, how often we find marriages with family links. If I am not mistaken, William Sr and family were in Laurens Co, SC prior to their arrival in Banks Co, GA. That is really about all I know about this family. I would like to know more since it is my children's surname. What can you tell me about your findings. Lomane Hill25185@aol.com > >
