Hello List- I occasionally post my query about this Hill family, so here goes: William HILL was born abt 1848 in MA or CT. He married Mary MOREHOUSE in about 1870, and they had the following children: * Joseph HILL * Burr HILL * Horace HILL * Charles Lyon HILL (b. 1874) Charles married Grace Ethelena SQUIER on 5 Oct 1901 in Bridgeport, CT. Horace married Grace's sister, Drusilla SQUIER. The Squier sisters were from the Wilbraham, MA area, and I have reason to believe that Charles was residing in Goshen, MA. Charles Lyon HILL died on 14 November 1929 in MA, and his obituary list his brothers as residing in Easton, Bridgeport, and Fairfield. Anyone have anything that might fit this elusive family? Any suggestions for finding William HILL's date of birth & death?? Thanks, Chris Pobieglo ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Please help! My Great Grandfather James Alexander Hill was born March 1810 in Madison County, Kentucky. I would like to know if his parents were Humphrey Hill and Mary Alexander--since he named two of his sons Humphrey and Alexander. Your help will be appreciated. Ben Hill

I found this on the back of an old newspaper clipping. The clipping had the obit. of my gg-grandfather, James Preston Hill. I noted the back had something that looked like an ad for Tax Assessor: Sam Hill or S.S. Hill is a candidate for office [in Jefferson Co or a town in or around Dandridge, TN (Eastern TN).] " Mr Hill is a farmer on a small scale and cultivates his little farm with his paralyzed arm tied to the plough handle. " The Election was 8/5/1920. I think the may have been my gggrandfather-s brother. If so, their mother was Sarah (Moore)Hill 910/1/1821-4/14/1868, and father was Rev. James Maston Hill (1/1821-3/27/1882).

My grandmother's maiden name was Hill, and the family was from Dandridge TN (eastern TN). But I just found in my Husband's tree: Cynthia A. Hill married pater Ray in 1895. She was b 4/862 and he was b10/1839... she was the 2nd wife, my husband's line coming from the first wife. Cynthia and Peter had 2 boys, b 11/1896 and 1/1899. Hope this helps someone out there! Also, and info you have about the Ray family would be welcome...we are having problems tracing them. They were from Mississippi (Belzoni, I believe) and Arkansas. jo

Donna, You have a lot of information and clues. Write a general letter stating the information you have and asking for any documents from the funeral home who should have some, the cemetery and the church. Check the Social Security Death Index for any of those people. In D.C. check city directories, etc. You should get more information. M. Clough

Does any have access to the 1880or 1890 census for Ak? I have a Laura Barkley ,ggm, married to Henry Hill. She was born in Monroe Co, 1883. I have found no record of Barkleys there in 1870. She had 3 brothers, Jim, Tom ,& Blaine all younger. If someone could look for me , I would really apperciate it then I would have something to go on. At this point I have no where else to go, that I know of. ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.

I would like to request some guidance from the Hill list members. Recently at the College of William and Mary in Virginia, while on vacation in that state, we found my husband's father's obituary. He never knew his father (having been moved to the home of his grandparents at about 2 years of age). His father is CHARLES THOMAS HILL, born in 1902 and died on November 29, 1964 at Bethesda MD. According to the obit, he was also the father of a CHARLES C. HILL of Miami, FL (in 1964). Charles Thomas had three brothers, my husband' uncles. They were WILLIAM R. HILL, H. WALLACE HILL (my husband's middle name is Wallace), and ROBERT V. HILL. The funeral was handled by Chevy Chase Funeral Home and the Mass was at St. Jane Francis de Chantel Church. Interment at Congressional Cemetery. Questions: 1) Since the information is from 1964, how should we proceed to try to find this new brother, Charles C. Hill? 2) If we contact the Chevy Chase Funeral Home, what should we expect them to be able to provide for information? 3) Would the Church have any records that might be helpful? What might they offer in info? 4) Congressional Cemetery - same thing - what could we expect to discover there? 5) Does anyone have information on the brother, William who owned W.R. HILL STATIONERS (office supplies) in DC? He may have been married to an Agnes in 1939 and a Doris in 1954? 6) Or of Wallace who evidently was married to a Mabel A, worked in 1911 as a mechanic for Washington Cadillac, and lived at 911 G SE in DC then. 7) When CHARLES THOMAS was married to my husband's mother, BERNICE CATOR, he worked for a company as a driver for Wood & Loth in DC. What is Wood & Loth? 8) The father of Charles Thomas Hill is THOMAS DOMICK HILL who married ANNA GERTRUDE GREENFIELD. Direction and responses VERY welcomed. Thanks, Donna

Seeking researchers on the John D and Nancy Hill family of Williamson Co. Tn. John died 1818 and Nancy 1832. Also would like to info on the Hill families of Decatur and Henderson Co Tn, 1830, Taylor, John P., Dutton, and Campbell Hill.

Fellow Hill Researchers: I've been meaning to do this for some time but am just now getting around to doing it. I am transcribing a letter from my great grandfather Hugh Lawson White Hill, b. 1840 Warren Co TN, to B.T. Mason in Warren Co TN. The letter gives a wonderful view of agricultural prices, the economy, family relationships, further travels by offspring, etc., and religion. I hope you enjoy it. There are also a number of Missouri and TN surnames here. By way of background: Hugh Lawson White Hill, b. 1840 was illegitimate, possibly/probably the son of a Congressman of the same name, b. 1810 Warren Co TN. Our HLW Hill ran away from home at age 13 or so, when his probably adoptive stepfather in McMinneville died, and his probably adoptive, but maybe real mother Mary Miller remarried. He arrived, so the family legend goes, penniless in Lawrence Co Missouri and was given a job by Wm MCCanse in his store as a clerk and the rest is history. Wm McCanse ("Uncle Billy" as he was known) was a prosperous merchant for a very small town of course. To sort the names out in the letter here: In Warren Co TN he lived in the household of the Millers in 1850 census (he is shown as H.L.W.Hill) and Masons lived close by. He regarded the other Miller children (several mentioned below) as his half siblings and went back to Warren Co TN. ca 1870 and brought several of them to Missouri. Those of us wanting to find out who his parents are find only further ambiguity in the letter ("mother to all intense") Hugh Lawson White Hill in 1863 married Sarah Elizabeth Tennessee (aka "Tennie) Gay, d/o William Washington Gay, b. Davidson Co TN 1818, and Mary Bowen Whaley, b. Dekalb Co TN, 1827. Children of Sarah Gay and Hugh Hill are: 1. Mary Frances5 Hill, born June 16, 1865 in Lawrence County MO; died August 03, 1873. 2. William Camel Hill, born August 28, 1867 in Lawrence County MO. He married Myrtle RHYDY. 3. Nannie Mattie Hill, born December 23, 1869 in Lawrence County MO. She married Albert PRATER Abt. 1888. 4. Sarah Emma Hill, born March 08, 1872 in Lawrence County MO; died August 08, 1873. 5. Thomas Benjamin Leonadulus (Lon) Hill, born July 20, 1874 in Lawrence County MO. He married Oren Ella FORTNER November 11, 1895 in Mt Vernon MO. (I have much more on this family. I descend on my mother's side from cousins of Oren Ella Fortner. Their roots were in Greene Co TN. Her grandfather migrated to Lawrence Co in 1850s. His sister, my ancestor's, descendants didn't come until 30 years later. Time had not broken any bonds. In the 1930s several of these families' descendants moved from Missouri to the Los Angeles Basin or San Joaquin Valley. My parents did not move there until 1954. Again, family reunions, holidays, etc. all of us together..with a few families that had intermarried of course). 6. Lena Bowen Hill, born January 04, 1877 in Lawrence County MO. She married Timothy BAKER, son of Zachriah Baker and Samantha J 7. Margueritta Louise Hill, born January 18, 1879 in Lawrence County MO. . She married William Loren BAUGH November 08, 1900 in Lawrence County MO, son of William Edward/Eggleston Baugh and Letsey SHELTON. He was the son of Archibald Bolling Baugh and Caroline WASH. Letsey was the daughter of second cousins Moses Hurt Shelton and Nancy Clark Shelton. This is my line through Margueritte and Loren Baugh's son Herbert Hill Baugh who married Marjorie Lee Sexton, d/o Charles Ceburn Sexton (Greene Co TN) and Lucy Bell Marsh (her TN roots are Bedford Co) 8. Sada Elizabeth Hill, born Abt. 1882 in Lawrence County MO; died January 23, 1890. 9. Richard Henry Hill, born July 27, 1883 in Lawrence County MO. He married Geneva WOODARD. 10. Hugh White Hill, born February 04, 1886 in Lawrence County MO; died March 26, 1886 . 11. Lawson Edgar Hill, born March 30, 1887 in Lawrence County MO. He married Mary HALTERMAN. 12. Archibald Pierce Hill, born September 28, 1889 in Lawrence County MO. He married Carrie HUDSPETH Here is the letter with all spelling in tact, and some bracketed inserts included in the Miller Press, Lawrence Co MO. It was reprinted in the Miller Press at some point none of the family can remember. I inserted a couple of extra paragraph breaks. Lawrenceburg, Lawrence County, Missouri May 2nd 1880 Mr. B.T.

Good by rite and I will rite soon and rite moore. H.W.L. Hill to B.T. Mason. ======================= A note to the Miller Press article: Mr. Hills son, Richard, states that his father struck out from Tennessee at the age of 13 and alone because his stepfather "bonded him out" to work. (He recalls his father saying he arrived at the Mississippi River without a coat and only 50 cents in his pocket.) His descendants have debated exactly how old he was when he left (13,14 and 15), but there is a record of the remarriage in late 1852 in Warren Co TN. There are also theories on where he got the money to buy his farm: loan from McCanse, or from the Gays, or from his possible father Hugh Lawson White Hill in Warren Co TN (who became a Congressman....WAS a state assemblyman when our HLW Hill was born.) I hope you all enjoyed this. Sorry to go on for so long. I have much more on the descendants of HLW Hill and on Sarah E.T. Gay's ancestors, which include 160 years on the Eastern Shore of Maryland/VA, from 1600s - 1804 (Bowen, Whaley, Bratten, Truitt, Fleming, Gavan, Whittington, Fassitt, Hammond, Powell, Patey, Jenkins, Kendall, Lamberton, Smith, Clarke, Watson, Timmons).
