A good source for HEMPHILL data is "Robert Hemphill and His Descendants 1775-1985", by June Coker McNew, pgs. 292-297 and p.322. Notes: Robert Hemphill, Jr. d. CSA, Sarah (widow) then marr. Obadiah Dean Nov 1865. Robert d.Feb.1865. His ancestors are probably the ones in Tyron-Lincoln Co. (and Rowan), NC mentioned in deeds. Minnie d.28 Sep 1894 of typhoid fever.
