Hi Sue, Sorry to be so long chiming in about your search. I have a copy of "A Genealogy of the Hillhouse-Dickey Families, 1639-1972" by Bessie Hillhouse Young and Ruth Mackay Young, which I purchased several years ago. I am not a Hillhouse descendant but I have several connections to Hillhouses. I do not know if the book is still available or not. It is 85 pages, 8.5 x 11, with small print, and no index. I will see if I can find out whether it is still available for purchase. There is no date of publication, but the last page has a photo of Jeffery Alan Hillhouse, born 12 Feb 1975. The book was printed by Valley Printers, Verona, Mo. The Robert Stevenson Hillhouse (7th Generation), 23 Feb 1872-22 Jan 1910, (p. 75), whose probate papers you have was the unmarried son (8th of 8 children) of John Randall Hillhouse (p. 74) (10th of 10 children) and the nephew of your Robert Stevenson Hillhouse (9th child), 4 Oct 1824-30 Jun 1910 (p. 68). Robert's descendants are listed on pages 68-74. Robert and Mary Inman had 13 children. The last family in your line mentioned is Mary Jane Leidecker m. Paul Bateman, and their children Paul Ned and Kristen Joan Bateman (pp. 66-67). Robert Stevenson Hillhouse (7) was the son of George (6) and Elizabeth (Dobbins) Hillhouse. George (6), 11 Apr 1777 - 30 Sep 1834, and Elizabeth's family history starts on p. 24, which means there are over 50 pages on their descendants. George (6) was the son of James (5) and Mary (Dickey) Hillhouse, whose family starts on p. 16. James (5), ca. 1746- 19 Jan 1835, was the son of William Hillhouse, Sr. (4). William (4), was the son of Samuel Hillhouse (3) or Charles Hillhouse, the youngest sons of John (2) and Rachel Hillhouse of Free Hall. William was born in County Derry, Ulster (Northern Ireland). John (2) was the son of Abraham (1) of Artikelly, b. 1639 or earlier and his wife Janet. Mary Dickey was the daughter of John Dickey, born County Antrim, Northern Ireland, 1703, died 1789, York District, S. C. The Dickey family is discussed on pp. 76-84. If you have specific questions while I try to find the book for you, I will try to answer them. Or perhaps you will be able to find a copy in a library which you could borrow on Interlibrary Loan. Incidentally, there are no sources listed for the later generations, though sources are discussed for the earlier families.

Dear Ross, I am interested in the Dickey family, since I believe that John Dickey (1703-1789) is my 7g-grandfather. WorldCat lists this book at Neosho-Newton County Library, Springfield Greene County Library, and Stone County Library. (Along with Stockton in California, Iowa State Historical Society, and the Memphis Public library). I might be interested in buying a copy, too, if it isn't too expensive. Thank you very much for the information. - Heather http://hblair.uchicago.edu/ On Mon, 21 May 2007, Ross Cameron wrote: > Hi Sue, > > Sorry to be so long chiming in about your search.

Dear Ross, I was curious about the Stevenson and Dickey connection you mentioned in this post. I am a descendant of William Stevenson (1791-aft.1860) and Martha Dickey (1795-1837). William moved to SW Missouri after Martha died, but later moved on to Kansas where he was still living on the 1860 census. According to many people, Martha Dickey was a great-granddaughter of John Dickey and Martha McNeeley who immigrated from County Antrim, Ireland to South Carolina. I wondered if there were some good sources for this? Also, we Stevenson descendants have family legends that we are related to Adlai Stevenson, but I don't yet know of any documentation of that. Adlai's ancestor also immigrated from Ireland, but to Iredell Co., North Carolina. Thanks! - Heather http://hblair.uchicago.edu/ On Mon, 21 May 2007, Ross Cameron wrote: > Hi Sue, > > Sorry to be so long chiming in about your search.
