In recent research on my WHITEHILL family, I found many of them died around the same time in 1815. The first death was my gggg-granduncle John Whitehill on August 1, 1815. Then, my gggg-grandfather, James Whitehill, and four of his young sons died within weeks. They were buried in Old Millcreek Cemetery near Hookstown. John Whitehill - August 21, 1815 James Whitehill - August 22, 1815 Robert Whitehill - August 31, 1815 David Whitehill - August 31, 1815 Isaac Whitehill - September 1, 1815 I assume there must have been some kind of epidemic. Does anyone know what it was? Diane
