Larry, My grandfather Wade Hampton Hill, born 1885 was said to have been born in Heard County, Ga. He married my grandmother Tincie Redden around early 1900's. His father James Madison Hill was in the 1900 census in Chambers, Lee Co., Ala.Tincie Redden was in Randolph Co., Ala. also Heard Co., Ga. James Madison Hill's father, Wade Hampton Hill, Sr.was born 1827 in Russell County, Ala. My father, Delmas Lee Meeks, deceased, was born 1925 just south of Rome, Ga. in Polk Co., Ga. in a small town of Argon across the line from Rome, Floyd Co., Ga. He married my mother Cynthia Hill, living, in probably Franklin Ga. One note: the granddaughter of the first son of James Madison Hill (his name was James Wesley Hill, born 1871, lives in Gainesville, Florida.) I have a postcard with the date of 1912 which was written by William Hershel Hill, born 1878 and his brother "Foney" Hill from Dallas, Texas where they had traveled to work. The postcard was addressed to James Madison Hill in Prattville, Autauga Co., Alabama the year of 1912. It would appear that he may have left there after 1912 and I think he may have died around 1915/1916 in Shelby Co., Ala. (have not verified it). He had a son named James Madison Hill born 1882 so I don't know if this is your James Hill who was in Rome, Ga. Could be though. If you want to go further back from Wade Hampton Hill, Sr. born 1827 his father was Sion Lassetter Hill who lived in Jones, Harris Co., Ga. 1830's then moved to Covington Co., Ala., 1860/65 church record, then on to Dale County Ala. where he is buried at Ozark, Dale Co. Ala. at the Union Church Cemetery with his wife Francis Dismukes Hill. Sion was born 1796 and he died 1871. If you have information to share on this family please let me know.
