Hi everyone, I am trying to break through a brickwall. My 3rd greatgrandfather William A Hill was born abt 1811 in Baltimore.I found him and his wife Elizabeth Collins in the 1850-1870 census.After that they both disappear. I have no idea where they are are buried or when they died. They lived in ward 19(1860 and 1870) and ward 20 (1850) I have some information on the one son John and most of the information on their daughter Melvina.Other then that I haven't found a thing. Has anyone come across anything about these people???
