Henry Gilbert m Patience Brown 15 May 1815, Amherst Co VA. They moved to Garrard Co KY bwt 1820 and 1830 (Henry Gilbert appears on both census); moved to IN bef 1838, where he wrote his will in Marion Co IN 10 Oct 1838 - he must have had consumption at that time. He appears on the 1840 Hendricks Co IN census. His widow is head of household on the Aug 1850 census, Hendricks Co., IN. Seeking any information on the parents/ancestors of this Henry Gilbert. Speculating that he is of the Capt Henry Gilbert family. Capt Henry died the same year that my Henry Gilbert was born. Was he named after his grandfather/gr uncle? namesake? Proof is missing for this speculation! Any help would be appreciated. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I am searching for a Col. Isaac Hill whose daughter Susannah b. 1715 King William Co., Va. d. 1780 Clement Hill, Lunenburg Co., Va. I took a look at the Hill DNA and did not see any Isaac born as early as the Col. who had to be married at least by 1715, thus born around (give or take 10 yrs) 1690... As far as I know he had one other child named Robert b. abt 1745 Rockingham Co., Va. who married Priscilla Bowen (I also have a Bowen line that is related to Robert's wife) Seems to me like a HUGE difference in age between the siblings, thus IF they are siblings they MUST have different mothers... Anyone? He is a brick wall for me. If there is a Hill surname group, would you send me the link so I can search the archives. Thanks Diane Stark McConnell Sanfilippo Today's Topics: 1.

WEAVER and his wife Elizabeth, maiden name unknown. I think they married about the time of the 1870 Census, as the couple is living in Temperance Twp., Amherst Co., VA where Robert L. is a manager on a farm, and they are childless. By the 1880 Census, the family resided on Fifth St., city of Lynchburg, Campbell Co., VA; husband's occupation railroad contractor. They had four children: Hattie "Ruth" b. 1872, Albert C. b. 1874, Imogene b. 1876, and Hannah b. 1879. From my research, I believe son Albert's middle name is CHEWNING, which seems like it should be his mother Elizabeth's maiden name. I was wondering if anyone has access to Amherst Co. marriages to see if there's one for Robert L. WEAVER and Elizabeth CHEWNING c. 1870. I *think* Robert's parents were Albert G. WEAVER and Margaret B. JOHNSON...this is from research done by another person. I also found a CHEWNING family in Amherst Co. from a family tree posted on Ancestry. There is an Albert CHEWNING, b. December 25, 1800, Clifford, Amherst Co., VA; d. December 15, 1881, Clifford, Amherst Co., VA. I'm wondering if anyone can help me determine if this man may be Elizabeth's father. I was also hoping someone could tell me if any birth records might exist for these WEAVER children. This has been my brick wall so any help would be greatly aprpeciated!

So, I'll start over. I have no documentation that Dabney Hill is the son of Thomas Hill, other than our Family Bible and notes of my deceased Aunt who was the family historian but died before any of the rest of us were truly interesting. How sad, of course, but how typical. I know that Thomas Hill had an Amherst Co. will, at least according to Rev. Davis (Will Book 3, page 95), and Elizabeth was Executor, but I have not looked at the will to see who inherited. Do you have details about that will by chance? did he name any children? Are there any other estate records in Amherst Co. courthouse that you are aware of that would make a link between Thomas and Dabney? Now, as to Dabney Hill connection. As you are aware, Dabney Hill married Elizabeth Tucker, d/o Charles Tucker (originally from Powhatan I believe before moving to Amherst). That marriage is confirmed in Amherst marriage records. Elizabeth's parents Charles Tucker and Mary (she was born a Tomkins, Tompkins, or Thompkins), gave their consent. Do you know why a Howard Cash would have signed the surety for Dabney to marry? Was he kin? Dabney's alleged Father Thomas had died before any of his children were married, so I know they would have to find others for surety, but just wondering the connection to Howard Cash if any? I actually descend from two children of Dabney Hill and Elizabeth Tucker: Thomas Given Hill and Edmund Wyatt Hill I'll start with Thomas Given Hill: Thomas Given Hill married his first cousin, Mary Frances Tucker (niece of Dabney's wife Elizabeth Tucker through her brother Wiatt Tucker). Thomas Given Hill and Mary Frances Tucker had, among other children, Wyatt Tucker Hill (see the name connection as some circumstantial evidence of kinship). Wyatt Tucker Hill married his first cousin, Margaret Elizabeth Hill, who was the daughter of Edmund Wyatt Hill, Thomas Given Hill's brother. Wyatt Tucker Hill and Margaret Hill Hill had my grandfather, Harry Hargrove Hill (remember that middle name), who had my father named after Wyatt Tucker Hill also, who had my brother and me! Now for the other parallel line, through Edmund Wyatt Hill. Edmund Wyatt Hill married Elizabeth Anne Hargrove (remember I told you my grandfather from the other line had the middle name Hargrove -- circumstantial evidence of kinship). Edmund Wyatt Hill and Elizabeth Ann Hargrove had, among other children, Margaret Hill. Margaret Hill married his first cousin, Wyatt Tucker Hill (son of Thomas Given Hill, Edmund Wyatt Hill's brother). and then you are back to one line: Wyatt Tucker Hill and Margaret Hill Hill had Harry Hargrove Hill, who had my father, who had my brother and me. My son-in law says that because of the many first cousins who married in our family (many Tuckers marrying Tuckers, Hills marrying Hills, and Tuckers marrying Hills who were cousins), it is a wonder we don't all have 5 nipples. There is also a lot of other circumstantial evidence that comes from everyone naming their children the same names for generation after generation, deeds, wills, and the like that prove a lot of kinship, but in my limited search of records, I have yet to find proof positive that Thomas Given Hill and Edmund Wyatt Hill are children of Dabney (but I haven't looked for Dabney's estate records yet). I do know from death records that a Charles B. Hill was a child of Dabney and Elizabeth. In 1840 he lived in Nelson County next to Amherst, as did Edmund Wyatt Hill at the time. He named mostof his children the same ancestral names: Elizabeth, William, Sarah, Charles, etc. His daughter Anna J. Hill married cousin Paul M. Tucker, son of Charles Tucker, Jr. (Elizabeth Tucker's brother is Charles Tucker, Jr.) Paul Tucker and wife Anna J. Hill are buried in the Chis(Chiswell)Tucker cemetery in the boonies of Amherst County. In that same cemetery is an extremely large obelisk over the grave of Thomas Given Hill, brother to Anna's father Charles B. Hill confirmed son of Dabney and Elizabeth. (Thomas Given Hill was a tobacconist in Lynchburg and to have such an obelisk,much have been quite successful) I also know that in the 1850 census Dabney and daughter Sarah A. Hill lived with Dabney's other daughter Edna "Edney" Hill Dillard (Edna had married Christopher Columbus Dillard - love that name. ) Sarah A. Hill subsequently married her cousin, John Smith Tucker, s/o Charles Tucker, Jr. who was s/o of Charles Tucker. Charles Tucker was Elizabeth Tucker's father and Charles Tucker, Jr. was her brother). The apples don't fall too far from the trunk of our tree! Mary Tomkins Hill is a d/o of Dabney and Elizabeth. She married cousin Phillip Thurmond and they founded Thurmond, W. Va. (look up the interesting stories on Thurmond on the internet). Mary named her children the same ancestral names and even named one of her children Edmund Wyatt Thurmond and another Robert Given Thurmond and others were named ElizabethThurmond, William Dabney thurmond, Mary Tomkins Thurmond, Judith Tucker thurmond (sister to Charles Tucker was Judith), Charles Thomas Thurmond (obvious), etc. Thomas Given Hill and Edmund Wyatt Hill named most of their children by the same ancestral names: Thomas Given named his William D (a U.S. Congressman out of Ohio), Charles T(Tucker?) Littleton W.T. I(Wyatt Tucker?), Walker G (Given?), Sarah A. after Thomas's sister, Mary (for Mary Tomkins sister and grandmother?), and Sophia. Thomas Given Hill named his children Wiatt (later spelled Wyatt) Tucker Hill, Elizabeth Frances (for mother and for Dabney's sister Frances), Sarah, Thomas Given Hill, Jr., and Charles Dabney Hill. there's a lot more circumstantial, but I'm tired of typing.

I will check into this...my mother was a Hill, and I have traced to her line, and I am guessing, can't prove it, to the Susanna Smithers/William Hill group. wish I had some Hill relatives living that I could trace...but I will trace the Kentucky group, who later moved to Missouri. These are children of Sgt. James Hill and Anne Overton of Amherst, Va. This is great...I am working on the neill line (that's my maiden name and so far we go back a long way to Ireland...waiting for my 36 point check...and I have found some exact matches....I will check back with you, thanks for your info... ----- Original Message ----- From: <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> To: <VAAMHERS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, October 17, 2008 9:04 AM Subject: Re: [VAAMHERS] DABNEY HILL > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Author: Blair_263 > Surnames: Hill > Classification: queries > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.virginia.counties.amherst/1386.1.1.1.1.1/mb.ashx > > Message Board Post: > > Great!

Author: margaret_garls Surnames: Lobban Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.virginia.counties.amherst/2899.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: ELizabeth Jane Page (Eliza Page) was Jesse Lobban's first wife. They married in Nelson County Virginia in 1829 and she died before 1832. Jane Garrett was his third wife as far as I can tell. My family is descended from Martha M. Bell, his second wife. I am interested in identifying Jesse Lobban's parents. I am also trying to determine his date of death. I know that his daughters, Mary Eliza and Cora came to Drew County Arkansas to live with Martha's sister Winnie Stone in 1870, so he must have died before that and I can't find Jane Garrett Lobban in 1870 census in DeSoto County Mississippi, so maybe she died as well.

Please respond to the originator in private mail if you are interested in the map they are offering, so we don't clutter up everyone's inbox. Thanks Joe D. Deaver VAAMHERS List Admin
