My information doesn't clarify the ancestry of Simon Hill any better. I can just furnish what I know about two of the people listed in Billy's information. T.Q. Hill who married M.E. Cunningham is Thomas Quincy Hill, son of Martha "Mattie" Geoghegan and her first husband, Samuel R. Hill. M.E. Cunningham is Mae Cunningham, daughter of Nancy Elizabeth "Betty" Lazarus Cunningham and her husband Thad Cunningham. Thomas Quincy was born in 1871. Mae Cunningham Hill's grandmother was Clara Ann Seale Lazarus King. Thomas J. Hill married Sedonia E. Dove. She was the daughter of John Cornelius Dove and Mary Elizabeth Shirley Dove and was born in Neshoba County, MS. The Doves were originally from Fairfield County, S.C. Thomas J. Hill is buried in the Williams Cemetery in Franklin County. The dates on his tombstone are September 10, 1858-January 1, 1905. According to information given me by another relative, Thomas J. Hill died of yellow fever and was buried secretly and at night in the Williams Cemetery. There were no children from this marriage. He was quite a bit older than "Donie" She was born in 1870. Hope this helps.
