. Can anyone help to determine the lineage of this Isaac Hill? Circa 1810 he was commissioned to survey Illinois ( hence the clock from Jefferson? ) We feel that there is no record of this because he was an American spy. I am puzzled by his connection with John Sevier. My guess is that Issac is the Hill officer that fought with Sevier at Kings Mountain. I am a Hill descendant through Chloe Hill who married Levi Casey. Many of the Scribner clan in Illinois feel that Issac is blood. I doubt this. Any help would be appreciated.
