    1. [NYTIOGA] HILL, Geo. Washington death
    2. helen graves
    3. I am seeking information on the George Washington HILL who married Elizabeth/Betsy TAYLOR. This is the family who appears on the 1855 census as living in Owego (I have found a similar, but different record for ANOTHER George Washington or Geo. W. Hill so it appears there were two of them living in this area). The one I want is per the 1855 Owego census: HILL, George W. 43 b. Scoharie NY Elizabeth 37 Steven 17 John 16 Martha 13 Harriet 10 George 8 Elizabeth A. 6 Kyman 4 Mariah 2 (Mariah b. 1853 is my husband's ancestor; she married James Swartwood in 1869 after he returned from the Civil War.) On the 1865 census I found this family: Babcock, Franklin - married 2x Elizabeth 50 - married 2x Hill, Betsy 16 "" Lyman 14 "" Maria 12 "" James W. 7 (born ca. 1858) "" Rosetta 4 (born ca. 1861) Thus, it appears that Geo. Washington Hill died between 1860-1865 and that his widow married Franklin Babcock. Her older children were out of the home, but the younger ones were living with their mother and step-father. If anyone has info on this family, please contact me or post to the Tioga Co., NY list. Many thanks. -- Helen Graves
