My ancestor is Joel Hill . His father was Joel Hill Sr. born in 175? Joel Jr.was born in 1784. Joel was recorded in the census in 1800 at Brunswick County, North Carolina. Joel and Elizabeth Souls (the daughter of Joseph F. Souls and Elizabeth Simmons) were married July 25, 1808 at Brunswick County, North Carolina. North Carolina Marriage Bonds, 1741-1868 (Same date there was a Samuel Hill who married Elizabeth Ross... Coincidence??) Other Hills and dates: Joel and Elizabeth had the following children: i. Rebecca Hill ii. Rev. George Washington Hill iii. Leannah Elizabeth Hill iv. Armalin Bryant Hill Joel was recorded in the census in 1810 at Columbus Co, North Carolina. Joel was recorded in the census in 1820 at Columbus Co, North Carolina. Census also shows a Hardy and Aaron who might have been brothers to Joel. Joel was recorded in the census in 1830 at Columbus Co, North Carolina. 1830 Joel was recorded in the census in 1840 at Columbus Co, North Carolina. 1840 Columbus Co, NC Joel died in 1844. It was rumored that Joel had a family before he and Elizabeth married and they lived near Shallotte in Brunswick County. It is said that Joel had a brother named AAron, Samuel, Jessie & his closet in age was Ezekial. He supposedly had a sister named "Polly".Some of the info on Joel's siblings was passed along by the slave, Hardy Hill's decendents, one of his decendents actually was a midwife and delivered some of the Hill children. This is all I have. If anything rings a bell please email me. I am stuck! Thanks, Jennie Bridges
