I recently had a query to my Hill web site, asking about the following: "Jeffrey Barksdale Hill (b. 1814 GA) is my ggg grandfather. I am also related to a different Hill family in Texas, William Henry Hill and his father, John Christopher Foster Hill (wife Mary Elizabeth Owen, daughter of Ezekial Owen and Volley Burleson). I am trying to find any information on this Hill family and their origins in Tennessee. My Great Aunt who just passed away at age 92 said that the two Hill families were distantly related. She was told this by her grandmother, Elizabeth "Bettie" Hill Hill (b. abt. 1865), who was the daughter of Jeffrey Barksdale b. 1814 and the wife of William Henry Hill of that other Hill line. Can you be of any assistance?" -------------------------------------------------------------------- While I have a fair amount of data on Jeffrey Barksdale Hill's family, I'm afraid I don't know the distant connection between his line and the other Hill line of William Henry Hill that Jeffrey's daughter married into. If anyone out there recognizes this Wm. Henry Hill line I'd appreciate a note. Thank you.
