Hi Cynthia, My g,g,grandfather was Benjamin M. Hill, born in 1796 and I believe some of his children and grandchildren may have moved to Alabama. Of course there are several Benjamin Hill's. His children, 5 in all, were born between 1816 and 1830 in the Wilkes and Taliafarro county area and he moved to Albany with his son, William J. Hill in 1852. William had 5 children and one of them was Benjamin Franklin Hill b 9/16/1859, who married Mary (Molly) Louise Rimmer , and died in Canton, Miss. Let me know if any of this is helpful.
