    1. Hill Ancestors
    2. I emailed once 2 or 3 years ago and no one was able to help, so I thought that I would try again. Looking for information on my direct ancestor named Wise Hill b. ca. 1715, parents and wife unknown. D. between 1994 - 1800 in Carteret County, N. C. Known children were Peter Hill I, Henry, John and Hannah. He was in Carteret County in j1745 when he appeared in the county court to make oath that there were six white persons in his family. He appeared in a muster return of the Carteret militia, with john, in 1754. In 1758 and 1763 he sesrved on a grand jury and in 1761 and 1762 received grants of land on Jumping Run and Williston Creek. He was living as late as 1794 when he gave property to his daughter, Hannah Styron. I once was told that he was born at Creektown in Carteret County which no longer exists, but I have not been able to find it on any map. Also, he was found on a "list of tithables Northhampton County, Virginia. 1730 - 1742.'" My line is Peter Hill I b. ca. 1740 - 1750 in Carteret County, d. ca. 1815 Carteret County. Known children were Peter Hill II (my line), John and probably others. His wife was named Nancy, maiden name unknown. Peter Hill II m. 6 July 1816 to Sidney Rose I and they had six known children. Peter was a carpenter and boatwright. He served in the War of 1812 as a private in the militia company commanded by Captain William Nelson which was raised for the defense of Core Banks against the depredations of the British during the summer of 1813. Any help would be appreciated. Maxine Hill Olson
