Hi, I have a partial register of descendents of Sgt. James Hill of Amherst County, VA: 1. James Hill b. Jun 1758, Amherst Co. Va, occupation farmer, m. Ann Overton, d. bef 1831. James died 1831, Amherst Co, VA. owned a large farm in Mt. Moriah Church Area (Percy, 91) on Lynch Road, not far from Amherst Courthouse (McFerrin, 12 Feb 1994); received pay as corporal in Samuel JOrdan Cabell's Company of the 6th Virginia Batallion of Continental Forces commanded by Lt. Col. James Hendricks for July 1777. LDS Genealogical index suggests James Hill b. 1758 the sone of another James Hill (perhaps b. 1736, Amelia Co) perhaps one enlistment is for the father; alternatively since James Hill appears on Ewell's payroll for 1779....James Hill granddaughter Elizabeth Robinson married Thomas Hutcheson, Jr., whose father Thomas Hutcheson, Sr., reportedly served in Ewell's Company also; will of James Hill recorded in book 9 page 117 of Amherst county, written in 1818 and probated 6/18/1831; wife Anne was dead at the time of his death. Children: Nancy, James b. 1779, Tabitha b. 28 Oct 1781, Francis b. cir 1782, Permelia. Hope this if of some help to you.
