I am researching my Kansas Hill family. My gg grandmother, Dora Minerva Hill, was born August 21, 1860 in Richwood, Ohio. She came with her family to Chanute, Neosho, Kansas 1876. She married John J. McCowan January 1, 1878. Her death certificate lists NOEL HILL and MIN CASE as parents. I have found some land records of a NEWELL HILL and RACHEL MINERVA HILL. I also found record of a NEWELL HILL marrying a MINERVA CASE in Delaware County, Ohio May 7, 1839. The same day that Dora Hill married John McCowan a CECIL HILL born abt. 1856 married MARY MCCOWAN. (January 1, 1878). Dora states that her father (NOEL/NEWELL HILL) was born in Virginia and her mother (RACHEL MINERVA CASE) was born in Ohio on the census. The family resided in Vermillion County, Illinois between 1869 and 1876. Does anyone see a possible connection to these Hills? Susie Meyer dsmeyer@alaska.net
