Words & letters that simply cannot be guessed are represented either by the word illegible or by a suggested word in brackets. Original spellings, capitalizations, and punctuation retained and letters transcribed as faithfully as possible. Names in square brackets are names of men listed in 1800 Burke County census who might be a match to the names listed in the Estate Bond document (court clerks handwriting hard to decipher, especially the names of the signatories which are partially obscured by their marks). Many thanks to Betsy Pittman, Resident Genealogist specializing in Burke County research analysis for her invaluable help in identifying many of the legal terms and other wording in this document (sight unseen!). I welcome any and all comments or speculations on these documents as to the children (orfins) and parents of William and Elizabeth Hill, their dates of birth, siblings, etc. The fact that John Mullins is named co-executor with the widowed Elizabeth suggests he is a close relative--brother, father, or uncle. This William and Elizabeth Hill cannot be the William Hill Jr. b. about 1783 in Burke Co. who marries Nancy Mullins (some say Lyons) b. abt 1786 in Burke/now Mitchell Counties, but its tempting to try to connect them in some relation to that William and his brother Swinfield (my GGGG-grandfather). The 1790 Burke Co. census lists a ROBERT HILL [1-1-1-0] in 1st company, and in 10th Company, an area Betsy Pittman says later became Mitchell/Avery Counties, a WILLIAM HILL [2-1-6-0], 2 houses down a WM HILL SR [2-0-1-0], and 3 houses down a JNO MULLINS[1-3-3-0]. [males over 16, males under 16, females over 16, females under 16]. In the 1800 Burke Co. census, a WILLIAM HILL [1-1-0-0-1//2-2-0-1-0//0-0], SWINFIELD HILL [2-0-0-1-0//2-0-1-0-0//0-0] HENRY HILL [1-1-1-0-1//1-1-0-0-1//0-0], and RESH (?) HILL [0-0-1-0-1//3-0-0-0-1//0-0]. There are two JOHN MULLINS and a BAKER MULLINS: John #1 [2-0-1-1-0//2-0-0-0-1//0-0], John #2 [0-0-2-0-0//3-1-0-0-1//0-0], and Baker [4-1-0-1-0//1-0-0-1-0//0-0]. Enumeration date is August 4, 1800. [males 0-10, 10-16, 26-26, 26-45, 45+//females ditto//slaves] Can anyone provide any information on any of these individuals? Has anyone seen other references to the Henry and Resh (?) Hills mentioned in the 1800 Burke census? So many questions, so few facts! Feel free to contact me directly at fran@haas.berkeley.edu or fhill2@comcast.net.
