Kinsman township was drawn in 1798 as a standard township and assigned to John Kinsman who owned two-thirds stock and Uriah Tracy and Joseph Coit who together owned the remaining third. The land contained in the draft had been owned jointly by Kinsman and Major Joseph Perkins. These men had owned most of the Western Reserve but were dividing their interests so each could concentrate on developing and improving certain areas. Cummings and John and Isaac Mathews were left behind to clear the land. On the return journey, Kinsman made a contract with three Youngstown families to settle in Kinsman. David Randall purchased 202 - 1/2 acres of land for $405.00. Martin Tidd bought 106 acres for $212.00. The third family was that of James Hill, who was Tidd’s son-in-law. This group left Youngstown in the spring of 1802, bound for Kinsman with two teams and wagons. http://www.hubbard.lib.oh.us/HPL_Pages/docs/PDF/CityHistory/Kinsman.pdf _________________________________________________________________ Join the next generation of Hotmail and you could win the adventure of a lifetime http://www.imagine-msn.com/minisites/sweepstakes/mail/register.aspx ______________________________Date: Thu, 11 May 2006 21:34:26 +0000 From: "Aaron Hill" <mrmayor@hotmail.com> To: HILL-L@rootsweb.com Subject: HILL DNA Project I want to encourage any male HILL descendants to participate in the HILL DNA Project.

About 1830 he married a Mary Unknown and had the following children: David b. abt 1834 who married a Mary Jane Mason on 5-26-1855 in Claiborne Co. TN Preston b. abt 1838 Mary b. abt 1841 Martha A. b. abt 1844 Hugh b. abt 1845 and married Ozzie Kiltz Louisa b. abt 1848 William married a Sarah Unknown sometime between 1850-60. In the 1860 Claiborne Co. TN census William was listed as being blind. Does anyone have more information on this William Hill. Looking for his parents or more info on his children. Wondering if he could be a son of William and Hescenia Smallwood Hill who lived in Sullivan and Claiborne Co. TN during the years mentioned above. Appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks, Kyle B Kukla Old age ain't no place for sissies. -Bette Davis- --------------------------------- Blab-away for as little as 1¢/min. Make PC-to-Phone Calls using Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.
