Update on my Hill family. After weeks of research this summer, I have discovered that the 'Joel' Hill I was looking for is indeed a 'John'. I still haven't discovered his roots. Does anyone have anything on the family below? Thanks for you help. John H? Hill b abt 1830 NC(according to the 1880 lee Co., KY Census)d bef 1900 Lee Co., KY Census. m m Arena Moore b1844 NC d 1919 Lee Co., KY m abt 1864 (where?) Her parents are: Thomas and Michel Butler Moore who are in the 1850 Surry Co., NC Census.John is about the right age to be 'the' John in the family of Robert Hill and Elizabth Vest in Surry Co., NC but I have no proof. Hill children: Rufus H b 1865 NC (my ggrandparent) Mary 1867 NC Phoebe E 1868 NC Colonel Henry 1870 VA Walter J 1873 VA John 1876 NC James 1877 VA twin girls Abba and Palla Alto 1878 Lee Co., KY
