Mel, My Hill line. 1. James Hill born abt 1794 in PA. Wife Mary maiden name unknown born 1794 in New York state.. They were alive in 1850 in Knox County, Ohio. Living in Hillier township. Probably died between 1850 & 1860 If they are buried in Rich Hill Cemetery their graves are unmarked. If they moved to another part of the county, I don't know where. Children: Nathaniel Bm. Mary Ann Roberts, Rachel Hill married Aaron Harris, James married Mary Stull & Aaron. 2. James Hill, born 2 March 1819 - 5 Apr. 1857. Married 28 Apr. 1839 Knox County, Ohio. Mary Stull b. 4 Apr. 1819 -1 Nov 1855, daughter of George & Elizabeth Friend Stull. Their family consisting of James & Mary, their children, James, Elizabeth, George & Abraham went to Cumberland County, Illinois between June 1850-13 Dec. 1851. On 13 Dec. 1851 James & Mary Stull Hill sold, Mary's share of her father's land (George Stull) in Knox County, Ohio to her brother, Martin Stull. The deed was written in Cumberland County, Illinois and is signed by James & Mary Hill of Cumberland County, Illinois. Recorded in Knox County, Ohio Sometime after the death his wife Mary Stull, James married 2nd Mary Ann in Cumberland County,Illinois This is all I know of her name, as the records of Cumberland County were burned. The only way I know her name is from a letter written by my Elizabeth Hill, to the Stull Aunts. In 1860 after the death of her brother, George. Elizabeth wrote that Mary Ann was a mean person and all she wanted was the land James owned. She had not given the children any more then the clothes on their backs after their father James died. 1st Mary and James Hill died in Cumberland County, Illinois and are buried in unmarked some where near where they lived. They had bought land in Cumberland County, but it was sold and #2. Mary Ann Hill's name was on the deed. Both James & #1 Mary were born in Pennsylvania. No Idea where. In 1901 William & Elizabeth Hill Pepper came to visit her brother, James Hill. She gave him the family Bible saying she had had it a long time and it was time for him to have it. It passed on to James Alfred Hill with no other information in it. It has the birth and death of the James & Mary Stull Hill family. 3. Elizabeth Hill Pepper. My ancestor. I don't know the cause of death for the family. Since George died in 1860 he is on the Mortality Census. It doesn't list the cause of his death.
