My ancestor was *William HILL b.abt 1710 VA d.after 1775 Mecklenburg or Chesterfield, VA married abt 1730 *Phebe Elizabeth BRANCH, (d/of *James BRANCH & Mary ?__), b.abt 1712 Chesterfield, VA d.abt 1798 Chesterfield, VA. They had at least 5 children; John HILL b.abt 1731 VA d.bef 1775; James HILL b.1733 VA d.bef 1775; William HILL b.1735 VA d.bef 1775 VA; Elizha b.abt 1737 VA d.bef 1775; *(my line)Phebe HILL b.abt 1738 Lunenburg, VA d.June 1785 Mecklenburg, VA married abt 1758 St. James, Mecklenburg or Lunenburg, VA Joel ELAM, (s/of John ELAM Jr.), b.abt 1736 Henrico, VA d.6 Sept 1798 Mecklenburg, VA. I was told that in his will (I do not have the will) he made a substancial bequest of his household goods, cattle, sheep, hogs and all slaves belonging to him at death, to James ELAM s/of Joel & Phebe ELAM. A Peter HUDSON was also mentioned in the will. I have wondered if anyone knows of another daughter of William HILL who married a HUDSON and had children? This will information was told to me by a 3rd party. My HILL ancestry is in he HIMES line link of my homepage. My ancestry starts in the HIMES line link of our page, going back earlier from both sets of my grandparents, by generation groups, with christian names, surnames, dates and localities. http://members.truepath.com/beverly/index.html Beverly (HIMES) BARGER a FHC Patron Librarian Volunteer in NM
