Greetings from the Land o' the Maple Leaf: Although my HILL connection is very distant I have recently "e-met" a person who is researching the same family. We would both like to know the origins of Samuel HILL of Clydach, Glamorgan, South Wales. Probably a Quaker from England, he moved to Morriston in Wales in the late 1700s and then to Clydach. He and his family after him were boat builders for the local canal. His sons were: Benjamin b.1801 Samuel b. 1810 John b. 1813 The boatbuilding business continued and they also opened a colliery in 1860 - Cwmdwr Cadi Anyone else out there researching this family? Best wishes, Diana-in-Canada
