Hello All, This might prove to be a great idea, so I will try one more time. My Jonathan Hills was b 1792 in Rutherford, NC. He married Lucy Lincoln (daughter of Hannaniah Lincoln) in Hardin Co., KY. They were Caucasian with dark hair. Lucy's two brothers, Austin and Thomas? were mentioned by President Lincoln as cousins. Their children are: William Jeffreys, Sarah m Buford McIntire, John Alexander m Maria Shipman (daughter of John Shipman), Margaret m. James McGill, Sena Catherine m David Ambrose, James m Julia Stiff, Charles, Elizabeth, Mary Priscilla m Richard Morman, Malvina, Eliza Rebecca, Lucy Jane m Manoah-Smith Lasley, and Martha. All born Elizabethtown, Ky. A Picture of their home and family history is in "History of Elizabethtown". Waldo Lincoln's book "Descendants of Samuel Lincoln" lists this family down to John Alexander and Maria (Shipman) Hills. He also said that Mordecai Lincoln m Sarah Jones, the widow of John Shipman. Mordecai is ancestor of Lucy. Children of John Alexander Hills b 1822 above and Maria Shipman are: Mary E. b 22 Apr 1854, James H. m Nannie M Campbell, Lucy Lone (birth card in KY gives middle name as Love), Nannie, and Mary B. All born Garrard County, KY. Per family lore Lucy was named "Lone" by Mr. Pope's wife. I have no idea who Mrs. Pope is. Lucy Lone Hills married in KY, Rufus C. Hardy, a resident of Indiana. They went back to Indiana, had a family and both died there. Family names mentioned are Hall, Woods, Web and Webster. There is a connection to the Lee family, but I have been unable to find it. Two Hills sisters married Carters in Hardin Co. about the same time Jonathan married in 1815. Other family names are Dunn and Hogan. Sorry to write a book, but there must be someone out there who connects with this family and may know who Jonathan's parents are!!!!!!!! Desperate in Texas, Barbara
