Recently there has been discussion about Alexander Hill, b. 1818 in Missouri Territory and died in Dallas County, MO. He married Lucinda Edmisson/Edmondson. The 1850 Dallas County Census shows several Hill families; including: 1. Alexander Hill, 32, MO Lucinda, 28,TN Darcus, 10, MO Melissa, 5, MO Washington, 5, MO Clemantine, 1, MO Izella, 1, MO 2. Elizabeth Hill, 50, NC Catharine, 23, KY Elijah, 14, MO James H., 8, MO 3. John Hill, 30, MO Sarah, 26,IL George, 6, MO Mary E., 2,MO Charles, 5/12, MO 4. Jacob Hill, 19, MO Margret, 19, TN 5. George H. Hill, 31, MO Patsy, 23, TN Martha J., 2, MO Francis M., 3/12, MO 6. Louis Hill, 24, MO Lettice, 28, TN John H., 11/12, MO Living with the family was John Gardner, 69,SC, Lettice Gardner, 68, SC, and Nancy Gardner, 30,KY The thing that is striking about these six families is that each of the heads of household were born in Missouri, with the exception of Elizabeth whose children were born in Missouri. Were any of these siblings of Alexander Hill? Or are there other family groupings independent of Alexander? Sarah Thompson

It was formerly known as teh Gaunt Mill and the Bramwell Mill. A map shows that this was due west of the Alexander Hill property where the Hill Cemetery is now located. "Dallas Co. MO History" page 308 says that when Dorcus Hill was young she was so frail that her parents feared she wouldn't live long. So they let her choose where she wanted to be buried, and she chose a spot which became the Hill Cemetery. I have that she was born about 1840 and died after 1918 when she filed for a widow's pension from John Williams' Civil War service. I don't have the date of her marriage to John Williams or her death date. Does anyone have either of those? -- gary

Unfortunately, the public records of Dallas Co. were destroyed in the 1860s with three separate burnings of the county courthouse. The local newspaper, the Buffalo Reflex, was founded in 1869, I believe. My suggestion is that you check Greene County, Missouri. The big city there, Springfield, had a newspaper and did sometimes report deaths in adjacent counties. Also, I am sending a copy of your e-mail, and my response, to the Dallas Co. list. There are CRAWFORD researchers who hopefully can assist you. Linda Fowler CRAWFORD, for example, is a fervant genealogist and much more knowledgable than I. Best of luck and thanks for asking, Rick Gregg

Rick et al, I realized as soon as I hit the SEND button that I had erred about the burial place of Sarah WOLLARD. Sorry. I subscribe to this list from my workplace (shame, shame) and my genealogy program and most of my files are at home. As any good genealogist would do, I carry a pedigree chart with me wherever I go, but it doesn't have everything I need, unfortunately. I was going through some pictures Monday night and found a wonderful picture of my mother and her parents and siblings in front of the house in March where she was born. It stands just above the pasture where the Moses G Bennett cemetary is located. Mom was about 5 in the picture. It's so great to have a legacy of these kinds of things.

Several people on the list have mentioned wanting a copy of "Early Days in Dallas County." James Bryant of Carpe Diem Fine Books in Monterey, CA had several copies last year and I was lucky enough to get one. He also found 2 other out of print books for me that I had been looking for for several years. He sent them quickly and in good condition. I don't know if he has any more copies, but it would be worth contacting him. The info is below.
