I am searching for information that may be in the subject book. According to a note I have there is a section in the book that erching W. Hill came from Western Rutherford County, NC in 1835--the part that is now Polk County. His son Charlie, fought with General Lee in Virginia. His son Grandy Hill (Uncle Buck) was wounded in the Civil War-Minie ball in the knee. It is thought that Stanhope Hill was one of 14 children. Stanhope Hill took part in moving Cherokees to Indian Territory 1837-38. He was Justice of the Peace for Macon County, NC......He built and ran a hotel to promote development of Highlands, NC as a summer resort. He became the first Mayor of Highlands when it was incorporated and remained Mayor for five years. He kept excellent records and they are still locked in the town library vault-can be read there. Stanhope Walker Hill and Celia Marinda Edwards Hill were one of the first families to settle in Horse Cove, NC. After the premature death of Lauinia Arsillas Hill Norton, her daughter Ittie Lavina Norton, came to live and was raised as one of S. W. Hill`s children. Ittie father, Barak Pickeral Norton, died of typhoid fever when she was only 6 weeks old. Her mother Lauinia, died of pneumonia when she was 2 years old. Ittie was born 21 October 1857, Whiteside Cove, Jackson County, NC. She was married 15 February 1888 in Horse Cove in the home of her grandfather, S. W. Hill to Jesse Siler Robinson. I would appreciate any information about the book "Hills of Home" and information about Stanhope Walker Hill and his family. Thanks, Ron Hill Sautee Nacoochee, GA
