Hi, I have a family lineage done many years ago that I am trying to verify. I am
looking for information on William Henry HILL and his father John Green HILL. According to
the 1850 Census records of Wayne County, Tennessee William Henry HILL was 24; a farmer;
born in Tennessee. He was living with his wife Elizabeth (WILLIAMS??) HILL also 24 years
of age and children Mary 4, Vashti 2, and S.B. WILLIAMS 15, (also a listed as a farmer).
All in this family are listed as being born in Tennessee. William Henry HILL took a job
with the railroad and the next census record I can find him in is the 1870 Richland
County, Illinois Census. This time however Elizabeth, his wife, is listed as being born in
North Carolina. Does anyone have any information on William Henry HILL 's place of birth
or his father John Green HILL? John Green HILL, b. 1804; d. 1875. He married Mary D.
MARTIN on December 4, 1823. He married second Susan D. HODGES in 1833. Deb

after 1920 most likely in Wayne Co, TN, daughter of John and Elizabeth JENNINGS POLLOCK,

Pollock researcher, Imogene Parsley, July 13, 1999. Jean mailed me photocopies of
