Rogers Hill was born in Sussex county, Dela- ware, January 31, 1799. When he was five weeks old his parents removed to Redstone, Pennsylvania, where they remained two years, when they moved to the forks of the Beaver in Columbiana county, where they remained until Rogers was of age. He was the oldest of ten children of Robert and Patience Rogers Hill, both natives of Delaware. Grandfather Rogers was an Englishman and a sea captain. On his father's side they were from Holland. Rogers Hill took up shoemaking, which he followed for twenty-one years in Pennsylvania and Ohio. Sep- tember 20, 1820, he married Eliza Chambers, a native of Pennsylvania and daughter of W. Chambers, also a native of Pennsylvania. Her ancestors were from Ireland. Their children are John, Robert, William, Eliza, Jane, Joseph, George, Matthew, Patience, Mary, Ann, Alvira, and James. The mother died February 4, 1873. April 9, 1874, he married Phoebe Anderson of Hubbard, Trumbull county. From Little Beaver he removed, in 1833, to Ohltown, where he re- sided several years engaged in farming. He then moved to the mouth of Little Hocking in Washington county, where he remained thirty years, attending a wood yard. September, 1872, he returned to Austintown township. James P.

A number of the Hills named in your messages are mentioned many times in diaries kept by one of my Little Hocking relatives when she was a teenager. There are references to these Hill family members: Bill, Eliza, Flora, Jim, Lib, Math and Rogers. In fact, Jim Hill was a boyfriend of my relative. I self published the diaries and letters as a book, "Bluecoats, Boats & Light Bread, the 1862-64 Diaries of Ann Bartlett of Little Hocking, Ohio," and indexed the names. I also listed some names from the 1860 census for Little Hocking.. Among those are: Rogers Hill, wharf master, Eliza, Alvin A. and James K. Matthew Hill, farmer, Ann, children Caroline C. and Levia (?) William Hill, shoemaker, Elizabeth, chidlren John William, George W., Flora and Robert Hall aged 23. I believe the Marietta Library has a copy of the book. If you want more information, you can email me.
