Hi All- I think I may have found my brick wall. If so, his name is Eben HILL, son of Jedediah Hill and Abigail Kilby. He was born 1791 in CT and died 1876 in Kossuth, Iowa. He was a veteran of the War of 1812. He had five brothers that I know of: Jedediah Jr., John H., Riley, Ludlow, and Ladue. I don't know about any sisters. So now, I'm looking for his wife and children. The only one I know of is my g-g-grandfather, James Melvin Hill. If anyone has information on this line, please let me know. Thank you.
