Seeking info on John Calhoun Hill and his wife Martha Elizabeth Bugas Dozier (Also found listed as Elizabeth Brooks Hill on a UDC application). They moved from an unknown area of SC to Burke Co., Ga after 1860. He does not appear on the 1860 census indicating he was probably still in SC but moved here shortly after because he did join an 1863 inf. co. from Burke during the War Between the States. Later census records indicate he was born ca. 1836, this calculated by his age on the census return. He was a practicing physician. His children: Elizabeth, John Mary, Martha, and Leonard Dozier ..some born in SC the later at Burke Co., GA. Upon his death 8 Dec 1895 his obituary says his body was taken back to the land "of his nativity" but no names in SC listed. Don't know who his daughters married or if they are buried in Burke Co. *Note --Martha appears on the 1870 census but not the 1880 census indicating she had died in childhood. There is no grave for her in Burke that is marked nor is there and obit. that we can find. His son John was killed in a shoot out behind his store downtown in 1905 (his bro. L. Dozier came to his rescue and killed the men responsible by retalliating with shot gun fire..Dozier is the only of the 4 men who survived) and is buried in the Waynesboro, Magnolia cem. As is his younger son, L. Dozier. So far only the descendants of L. Dozier have been located in this county. None of the Hill men had wills probated in Burke Co, Ga. either. There is no other notation of Dr. Hill's death in Burke records other than a type of letter to the editor by close black persons to the doctor who expressed there sorrow at his passing and told how fair he was to all and how he would be missed. The Hill's owned a great deal of land in Burke, aquiring land that once was Drone Plantation and much other land around Gough and the vacinity as well as some city lots and other odds and end pieces in the county. Due to the connection to SC and his body being carried home, and his wealth I would guess he was an active property owner in SC as well. Whatever the reason for his move to Burke, he brought his wealth and lifestyle with him by all indications of the newspaper announcements and different couples that were married at his home.-Do not know if he was a Justice of the Peace. A newspaper announcement gives his sister as Mrs. E.L. Andrews (a widow from SC) who married a Mr. John Lite (age 71) at Dr. John C. Hills home with "SC" elegance, style, graciousness, and etc. then the couple left for their home in Florida. No other info has been uncovered locally. Is anyone searching for a lost Dr. John C. Hill? If so I have him!!! please contact me: acobb52442@aol.com. Thanks for any help you may offer. I am sorry this is rambling but I have tried to put in as much detail as I know.
