Hi Barbara, What is your davis line?

Hi Betty, > It seems like the Abell (however you spell it) families went all over the eastern side of the US. Maybe one of these connects with yours. Mary Kathryn ABELL married George Edward Rapier in 1875, and that is where the Abell comes into my family tree. Lori

Hi, Lori, It seems like the Abell (however you spell it) families went all over the eastern side of the US. Maybe one of these connects with yours. I'll keep watching.

Phillip & Eleanor Bryan Miles were the parents of Dorothy Miles who m John Johnson (s/o Leonard) 1801 Nelson Co, Ky. John Johnson, bro to my George Johnson (m Eleanor Dawson Nelson Co). John & Dorothy Miles Johnson's son Sylverster ( Mildred Boone (d/o John & ? Howard Boone; g/dau of Walter Boone) was 1st cousin to my 2nd GGM Henrietta Johnson Merrifield. One should realize/be aware that Pottinger's Creek which springs up in Marion Co (formerly Washington Co) empties into the Rolling Ford River a short distance below New Haven, Nelson Co. The Rolling Fork River is the border between Nelson & LaRue (formerly Hardin Co). LaRue Co also boarders Marion Co. The afore mentioned Boones, Johnsons, Merrifield's are buried at St Catherine's Cath. Cem at New Haven. While the Merrifield's were not catholic-- my branch became so when Henrietta m Samuel Merrifield in 1839..

HON. CLEMENT S. HILL. Among the old Catholic families that at an early period in the history of the State became identified with its pioneer history and development, none have occupied a more conspicuous and honorable place than the one represented by the subject of this sketch. About the middle of the last century Thomas Hill, a member of an old English Catholic family, immigrated to America and settled in St. Mary's County, Md., where, abut the year 1754, he married Rebecca Miles, a representative of another family of similar faith, who bore him a family of seven children - three sons and four daughters.

A negro slave of Thomas Hill was killed, besides several horses, and he himself was seriously wounded by the passage of an ounce ball through both of his thighs. This happened about eighteen miles above Louisville. The boat was soon carried by the current beyond reach of the savages' guns and before night its living freight of men, women and children was safely housed in that town. Soon after the entire party went to Bardstown where they remained a year, and Thomas Hill, owing to the severity of his wounds, for a much longer time. In March, 1788, Philip Miles and Harry Hill, son of Thomas Hill, purchased lands in the Pottinger's Creek settlement, to which they removed immediately and upon which they passed the remainder of their days. Thomas Hill, after recovering from his wounds, moved from Bardstown to Cartwright's Creek, in the spring of 1789, where he soon purchased land and entered upon the life of farmer. He was very zealous in his Catholic faith nd was one of the chief promoters of the strong Catholic colony which afterward centered in that locality; and was chiefly instrumental in erecting the first house of worship there. He labored also to provide for his children every facility for culture that was within his means, and especially to found them securely in the Catholic faith, and to present to them reasonable motives for its constant and systematic practice. His death occurred in 1820, at the ripe age of ninety-seven years, and his descendants are numerously distributed through the South and the West. Clement Hill, the youngest son of Thomas Hill, remained with his parents until after his majority, when he married, in 1798, Mary Hamilton, a daughter of Thomas Hamilton, whose cousin Leonard was the maternal grandfather of the late Most Rev.

He continued in active practice, adding constantly to his reputation as a successful practitioner down to 1885, feeling the effects of years of close professional study and of active work as an advocate, he relaxed his energies and made way for younger men. As a general practitioner Mr. Hill has had few superiors at the Kentucky bar. To an unexampled skill as a pleader, he had the added qualities of a strong advocate and an exceeding aptitude in the taking of proof and the establishment of his case. Politically Mr. Hill was formerly a Henry Clay Whig, but since the dissolution of the Whig party has acted more or less with political independence. He was a strong Union man during the late civil war, and was authorized by the Government to raise a regiment for the national defense, but was prevented by failing health from taking the field.
