Posted on: HALIFAX CO, VA QUERY FORUM Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Halifax/12360 Surname: Wooding, Hill, Sizemore ------------------------- An abstract of Robert Wooding's Halifax Co., VA will can be found in T.L.C. Genealogy, Halifax County, Virginia Wills, 1792-1797, pp.71-73. He refers to Elizabeth Hill as "my loving friend", and leaves "To Thomas Hill, illegitimate son of the above mentioned Elizabeth Hill - my whole estate, both real and personal situated in the County of Pittsylvania, the whole of which is now in his possession." He also bequeaths to other of Elizabeth's children. The will was signed May 14, 1796, probate Jun 26, 1797, so it doesn't appear he actually married Elizabeth Hill. Does anyone know the maiden name of Elizabeth? I have suspected she may have been a SIZEMORE.
