Hill researchers, I'm searching for information on my grandmother, Martha Elizabeth Hill, and her brother, Thomas P. Hill. Bettie was born in Mississippi on December 29, 1876 and Thomas P. Hill was born in Mississippi 19 December 1878. I remember Grandmother telling us that she was born in Mississippi and, after both parents died, she and her younger brother came to Texas to live with an uncle in Nacogdoches County. My younger brother remembers her mentioning coming from Tupelo, Mississippi. The uncle in Texas must have died before 1890 when grandmother went to live with the Doak Crawford family who lived between Appleby and Garrison, TX. Recently, in the 1880 census of Lee Co., MS, I found in hh 140, the family of Wm. T. Hill, 28; his wife Susan, 25; and their children Bettie, 3 and Thomas, 1. In hh 142, there is E.G. Hill, 71 and Sarah M.S., 68. In 1870 census of Lee Co., MS there is an Edwin G., 61; Martha, 59; and their children Albert G., 23, Wm. T., 19 and Julia A, 16. In 1860 in Pontotoc Co., MS there was this same family, Edwin G. 51 and Sarah M.S., 49; with the same children, Albert, W.T. and Julia A., plus four older children, George W., 23; Frances S., 21; Mary E., 18; and Richard J, 16. Knowing the maiden names of E. G.'s wife Sarah Martha S. and W.T.'s wife Susan might help. Is anyone on this list researching any of these families? Vaughn
