    3. Searching for FREDERICK TORRANCE HILL, a judge in Burlington, VT, my 2nd great grandfather. He had three daughters, ANNA (who married Charles DURAND of Lake Forest, IL; Mary (who married Mr. Terwilliger); and my great grandmother-ROSAMOND ADELA HILL born in JERICHO, VERMONT. (Frederick Torrance Hill's daughter, my great grandmother Rosamond Adela Hill, was also in the Chittenden line.) On World Family Tree volume 3 there is a Hill listing but it has an ERROR that I am sure of--Anna Hill, who married Mr. Durand is listed in that tree with siblings who were not hers. My great grandmother, Rosamond Adela Hill, moved to Chicago after the death of parents to live with her sister Anna C. Durand and Anna's husband Charles. Rosamond became a school teacher, and in 1884 in Chicago met and married Edmund MacClanahan, a lawyer and Confederate Civil War Veteran who went to Chicago after the war but died early in the marriage, after having had 2 children, of tuberculosis contracted during the war. First of their children, Kinloch, died at age 2 of TB caught from his father, and a 2nd child, (my grandmother) Anne ELizabeth CALDWELL MacClanahan. Anne E.C.MacClanahan married SIR WILFRED GRENFELL, medical missionary of Labrador and Newfoundland. Frederick Torrance Hill belonged to the Congregationalist Church in either CHARLOTTE, JERICHO or UNDERHILL, VERMONT. The Hill family CEMETERY is in Underhill, Vermont. In World Family Tree Volume 3, a JAMES HILL born 1860 died in CALDWELL COUNTY, KENTUCKY was married to an ELIZABETH CHITTENDEN, born February 17, 1762. This is the right lineage but I can't figure out the link between James Hill and my ancestor, Frederick Torrance Hill. Am assuming that is somehow why my grandmother, Anne Elizabeth Caldwell MacClanahan Grenfell got her middle name of Caldwell. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks Susie Phillips
