Thanks. > Elsie Fox susan@reliable-net.net > If Samuel's oldest children were born in NC between 1790 and 1800, he may have been the son of Matthew HILL, who, in the mid 1780s, took his family from Mecklenburg Co. VA to what became Stokes Co. NC. Matthew's will was probated there in June, 1804, with Samuel still in the area. Samuel's brothers, John, James and Matthew Jr., all went to TN. Please contact me if you think there may be a match.
