Surnames: Hill, Barfield, Barefield Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Jd.2ADE/13679 Message Board Post: The age old question of “what is the relationship of Slaughter Hill of Macon County & Archibald Hill of Taylor County is finally answered. It was answered a while back but did not surface to our attention until Joan Hill found the following court case posted right under our noses: TAYLOR COUNTY Superior Court Records - 1859 File contributed to USGenWeb by Virginia Crilley crilley@eramp.net Transcribed from microfilm LDS #0321118 SUPERIOR COURT 1859 “Slaughter Hill sworn says he never bought a horse from John Barefield, has a brother named Arch Hill knows no other Arch Hill, did not sign the notes taht have been in exhibited to John Hudson always write his name and never made his mark. The notes aforementioned were ? read to the Jury by the prosection.” A lot more about the case is found at the link below. http://searches1.rootsweb.com/usgenweb/archives/ga/taylor/court/superior3.txt It has been speculated for a long time that there was certainly a relationship between the two men, it is great to finally have proof. They were probably related to the Barfields in the case also. Thanks to Joan for locating it, and Many Thanks to Virginia Crilley for taking the time and effort to transcribe the record, one more Hill mystery is solved.
