Dear Jane, (Lena, Alta, list), This is in regards to emails to the list on 8/27/99, 8/31/99, and 9/12/99. I am interested in my wife's line beginning with James R (Russell) Hill. My genealogist did much more than me and all of the following about James comes from her. So far we estimated that he was born in the 1815-1818 range in AL or TN. He was married first to Lucinda McCormack, b 1826, on 14 May 1844 in Ripley Co., MO. Later he married Ellender (we didn't have her last name) before 1860. James R Hill had 12 children that we accounted for. The fifth child, William R (Russell?) was b Mar 12,1856 in Alley Spring, Shannon Co. MO, m to Georgia Ann Mahala McSpadden on Sep 9, 1886 in Eminence, Shannon, MO, and d Oct 13, 1934 in Georgetown, White Co., AR. Georgia's second husband was John Piner Chambers was born in Obion Co., TN, and interestingly, James Russell Hill was born about 1817 in Obion Co., TN according to the email from Jane on 9/12/99. William R Hill's children included Orpha V, Lulu C, Samuel M, Permelia J, Osee A, Onard A (Anthony?), Rufus Barto, and Arthur (C.,V, E.?). Sources of info include the censuses from Shannon Co., MO for 1850, 60, 70, and 80. My wife's line goes thru Rufus Barto Hill, Then George Weston Hill to her. I will forward this email and any responses to my genealogist. I will be glad to put individuals in contact with her. Of course we would like to find James R Hill's parents, firm up details including dates, places, wives lines, etc. Thanks for your input. Bob Reese, Tucson, AZ
