Glad everyone enjoyed my picture of Benjamin Hill, who was my gg grandfather. Do any of you have pictures of the Hill family you could share? I would love to see them, and I know my mother would. Thanks! septsky58@comcast.net
I am enjoying your photograph of Benjamin Craton Hill. He is my Great Grandfather. He is buried at Cox Chapel Church cemetary on Cox Chapel Road in the Mabe/Rye Cove area of Scott County. I took a picture of his grave/headstone a while back. I am just now learning about the geneology of our family. I suppose we are cousins. It is all so interesting. I would appreciate any information you could give on the family. thanks!!!
Thank you for the post of Ben Hill’s headstone. I wonder if Ben Hill and his family lived nearby? I have that his wife Lucy was buried at the Shepherd Cemetary. I thought it was off the Mabe-Stanleytown Road, but I couldn’t find it. Your grandmother and my g-grandmother were sisters. It’s so nice to connect with a cousin – second cousins once removed?
Forgot to add, my Grandmother was Emma Hill. She married Kelly Peterson. Their son, Carl G. Peterson was my father.
This is my GG Grandfather on Lucy Hill side. I think I have seen his middle name spelled Creighton before.
Hello everyone! I’m writing because I am also the gg granddaughter of Benjamin Hill. My Mamaw is Nathen Hills daughter her name is Agnes Hill (Davis). My mom and I are trying to figure out how everyone else on her is related and who your parents are! My mom is Vickie Davis daughter of Agnes and great granddaughter of Benjamin! I am also doing a family tree on ancestory.com so any info would be appreciated.
Mandy – my mom is Gerlene Wallen (Darter), grandfather Ernest Wallen, g-grandmother Lucy Hill Wallen, then my gg grandfather Ben Hill.
I am trying to trace Benjamin Hill back to Richard Stanley for Revolutionary war connection, Does anyone have any info on this?
Revolutionary war connection? Ben Hill, Daniel Y.G.Hill, Madison Hill, William Hill of Amherst County Va. (Rev. War. Soldier)
