Abt. 1750 in Maryland or Pennsylvania. Notes for THOMAS HILL: "Thomas Hill migrated to Rhode Island about 1734 with his parents Thomas and mother Abiah. He then migrated to Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. He married Mary Hamlin or Mamblen or Hamblin either in Maryland or Pennsylvania. Thomas lived in Pennsylvania for time where his brother William and wife Rachel lived. His first four sons were born in Pennsylvania. About 1765 Thomas and his family moved to Fauquier County, Virginia, then to Pittsylvania Co., Virginia where a number of his children were born. He was a land owner in various parts of Virginia, as seen by the many deeds, Prince William Co., Loudoun Co. to mention a few. Thomas signed the "Oath of Allegiance" and was on Charles Kennon's list in the War in Defense of Virginia, signed 1 January 1778 which is recorded in Chatham Court House, Pittsylvania County, Virginia. A copy is at the D.A.R. Library and at the Virginia State Library. About 1798 and before 1800, the Rev. Thomas Hill and his family received a land grant in Kentucky of 1602 acres as a result of being a patriot in the Rev. War. (Feb. 25, 1800 and Dec. 4, land on Fishing Creek in Lincoln Co.) He presented his credentials as "being in regular communion" with the Baptist Church and leave is granted to celebrate the rites of matrimony. He performed many marriages in Pittsylvania Co., Virginia and then again in Pulaski Co., Kentucky, including that of his daughter Sarah to the Rev. Thomas Hanks.. There was a group of Baptists that came from Pennsylvania early in 1765. (Reuben was born in Pennsylvania in 1761 and was 4 years of age when the family went to Virginia, Statement of Hanks Neville Hill) The group settled in Fauquier Co., Virginia and established the Broad Run church. It is still believed to still exist. Later, around 1769, twenty members from the Broad Run church moved further south into Pittsylvania Co., Virginia and established the Birches Creek church, which later became known as Mill Church and with John Creel as pastor. (John Creel married Rhoda Dodson) This church was in excellent condition in 1974, according to Wm "Bill" Randolph, a Dodson descendant." Notes of O. Josephine (Hill) Adams of Danville, California, September 11, 1978 Much of the Hill, Hanks and Dodson's properties are located on or near Birches Creek, Pigg River, Strawberry and Shadberry Creeks in Pittsylvania Co., Virginia.

In 1823, My Great-great-greatgrandfather, Martin True applied for a pension for his service in the Revoluntion and stated that he part of the time with Allen Hill. True moved with the Hills, Hanks and Dodson form Pittsylvania Co., Virginia to Pulaski Co., KY and to Maury Co., TN by 1811, leaving Thomas Hill in KY> Thomas was known as Sickle-saw Tom, supposely from his manner of speaking while preaching. Allen Hill was also a preacher and he and his wife are buried in the Hill Cemetery in Madison Co., TN with their large family. My husband and I were at the church and cemetery in Pittsylvania Co., VA in 1985, The small well kept old building is not the orginial and the cemetery did not have any very early tombstones. Small world-In 1794, my father's Thomas Hill helped inventory the estate of my mother's Francis Wisdom in Pittsylvania Co. Then George Hanks fought in the same Texas Regulator- Moderator War in Shelby Co., Texas 1842-1844, that claimed the life of one grandfather, Howell Hudson. His son Eli Hanks was the brother-in-law of Howell Hudson.
