Fellow Hill Researchers: The message I am pasting in below appeared on the Wilson list today. It is a sketch of Hugh Lawson White, for whom Henry John Alexander Hill and Susannah Swales named their last child b. 1810, Warren Co TN. That last child possibly/probably being my great great grandfather. I have an illegitimate Hugh Lawson White Hill b. 1840 in Warren Co TN. For all you Warren Co TN Hills, I thought this would be of interest.
