    1. [HILL-L] New Jersey around 1753?
    2. Just had some research done in Jennings County, Indiana. This is as far back as I have - Thomas Hill, born around 1680. Lived and died in England. His son, Thomas, born in England in 1716 emigrated to American after the war between the French and the English. He settled in New Jersey. In 1753 he married Sarah Hamlin and in 1764 moved to Loudon County, VA. They had 16 children. One of their sons, Thomas, born in New Jersey March 17, 1763. When he was a child, his parents moved to Virginia, locating at Martinsville, Henry County. At the age of 19 Thomas Hill enlisted and served a three month's term in the war of the American Revolution. On October 26, 1786 he married Mary Stone. About the year 1788 or 1789, Thomas was converted and united with the Baptist Church and was licensed to preach. After a few years in Virginia, Thomas moved to East Tennessee. Here he resided about 4 years. In the fall of 1789 he moved to Kentucky, setttling near Somerset, Pulaski County. In March 1817 he moved to Indiana and settled on Coffee Creek, Jennings Co. In 1822 he organized the Coffee Creek Baptist Church. He died Monday May 22, 1848. One of their sons, was Thomas Hill who was born in East Tennessee, Sept 12, 1797. In his infancy his parents moved to Pulaski County Kentucky. In 1816 he came to Indiana with his father and friends. He returned to Kentucky and married Susan Buster on Feb. 27, 1817 and then settled on his farm in Indiana In 1823 he was licensed to preach. Susan Buster Hill died on Apr. 27, 1865. Thomas died on March 27, 1876. They are buried at the Coffee Creek cemetery in Jennings County. One of their daughters was Margaret Hill. She was born Feb 9, 1819 and died November 10, 1879. She married a cousin, Isaac Perry Hill (These are my great great grandparents). Her sister, Mary, married Isaac's brother John. There were eight other siblings, I have their names. Isaac and John moved with their wives and children to Burleson County, Texas around 1857. Does any of this connect with your HILLs?
