Richard HILL
The
Francis HILL Line (as best as can be determined)
1.
LOVIT HINES COLLECTION
a. 13 Feb 1793 - Abraham Baker of Lenoir County (or) - Richard
Hill of
Craven County (ee) - 285 lbs - 285 A - NS Briery adj Joshua
Williams, Joseph
Bruton, Richard Hill, James Collier - Wit: Bold Robin Hood,
James Collier
NOTE:
We are fortunate this Deed
has survived. It tells us when Richard moved
to Lenoir County. Levi appears to have moved much earlier.
There are any
number
of reasons they could have moved where they did. It is
possible their uncle
Francis left them his land. Both Richard and Levi married
Rouse wives who
were
from this area.
2.
1780 Dobbs County Tax List
both Levi and a Richard
are in the lower part of
Jason Township in Greene Co which is Institute and most of
Moseley Hall. This
should be our Levi, but Richard would be of the Robert Hill
family. As far as
we know our Richard did not move to Lenoir County until 1793
as seen above.
3. The Richard and Francis in Duplin, Sampson Counties are
part of the Robert
Hill family.
4.
Craven County Marriage Bonds
a. Francis Hill to Rebecca Pierce - 28 Nov 1783 - Bondsman
Levi Hill I am
going to assume this was the brother of Levi and Richard
Hill.
b. Francis Hill to Ann White - 20 May 1816 - Graywest Books,
Bondsman
Was this Francis L or maybe his son?
NOTE:
This was Gray
Westbrook
c. Richard Hill - Mehatabel Martin - 14 June 1836 - I don't
know who this is
but it could have been the son of Francis
5. Additional Wills in Craven that MAY be connected with our
family
a. William Hill - 1811 - wife Mary - William Gaskins wit - no
further
details
b. estate of Stephen Hill 1790 - Levi and William Hill
Administrators
Francis and Richard bought from estate
NOTE
: It has already been
established that William was the son of Stephen from
information in a Deed
c. estate of Richard Hill - Craven County - 1853 - Louisana
Hill, widow
Adams Creek - children - Mary, James, Pollmille
6.
Estate of Levi Hill
- FROM GUARDIAN RECORDS AT
ARCHIVES
a. owned money to William and Stephen Hill
b. Board money given to Simon Rouse for children
c. One document in the Estate Records refers to Richard, who
was one of the
executors, as Richard Jr. - more evidence that Levi, Richard,
and Francis
were
the sons of Richard Sr.
d. a rather long document that covers several years and shows
a distribution
of money by Richard, the guardian for Lydia and Richard -
shows money being
distributed to Sally Hill for room and board for the children.
THIS WAS
FOUND IN
THE GUARDIAN RECORDS, NOT THE ESTATE RECORDS

ordered account settled of Richard Hill Sr. guardian to
Richard Hill Jr. and
Lydia Hill
8.
Rev War Records in US Archives
- the only Richard
Hill was the one who
married Ester and was the son of Robert Hill
9.
Greene County Cemetery Records
a. Nancy Hill wife of Alexander Hill 1833 - 1893 -
NOTE:
There are a number of
Hill's buried at the Hull Road Free Will Baptist
Church in Greene County. I suspect these are part of Levi's
family as many of
them lived in the Arba section of Greene County
10.

Census
a. 1800- Lenoir Co - only Richard Hill and Sally Hill
1. Sally had one male 10-16, and two females - one 0-10 and
one
26-45
NOTE
: This Sally would have been
the widow of Levi and the daughter of Simon
Rouse, Sr. The two children are Richard and Lydia
2. Richard had three males 0-10, one 26-45, three females
0-10, and
one 26-45
b. 1800 Craven Co
1. Thomas Hill one male between 26-45, no females

NOTE:
where was Mary - she was
not dead at this time

e. 1830 Lenoir County
1. Mary (widow of Richard) - one male 20-30; one female 20-30,
one
female 70-80
NOTE:
This is consistent with the
death date shown in Margorie Oliver's book on
the Sutton Family - Margorie does not know where she got
Mary's death date
from, but I think it is probably right.
2. Simon Hill
3. Thomas Hill were also listed
4. Richard Hill - two males 0-5, two males 5-10, one male
10-15, one
male 30-40; two females 0-5, one female 10-15, one female
15-20, one female
40-50 - I think this Richard was the son of Levi
5. Right next door to this Richard was Sally Tilman - no
males, lots of
little girls and l female 60-70 - I think this was the widow
of Levi who
remarried a Tilman

RICHARD
HILL LINE
1. Division of Richard's land - abstracted from
WEAVING OF
THE HILLS
by Sue
Rouse
This division is well covered in Sue Rouse's book. Again, we
are fortunate
these Deeds exist in the Lovit Hines Collection. The division
was made in
1818
and only three children appear to be of age, Susannah, John
Linkfield, and
Rachel who had married Abraham Hardee. The land was divided
into nine
portions.
Many Deeds exist in the Lovit Hines Collection that show the
sell of this
property between the children and the Cross Indexes indicate
other
transactions.
a. Deed between Susan Hill (or) and John L. Hill (ee) - 18
October 1819 -
Susan sold her portion to her brother - WIT: Thomas Hill and
Lydia Barwick
NOTE
: I am inclined to think
Lydia Barwick was the daughter of Levi Hill
Thomas was their brother and since he was not of age in 1818
but was in 1819
this indicates he was born in 1798 and was the next
oldest.
b. Deed between Mary Hill (or) and Henry Tull (ee) 21 Feb 1827
- Mary sold
"her portion of the land purchased of Thomas Hill, son of
Richard Hill" WIT:
were Simon Hill and Susannah Hill
NOTE:
As it does not appear
Richard and Mary had a daughter named Mary, it
appears Thomas's Mother, Mary purchased his portion from
him.
c. Deed between Abraham and Rachel Hardee (or) and John L.
Hill (ee) her
portion of land - 6 April 1819 - WIT: Thomas Hill and Susan
Hill
d. Deed from Simon Hill (or) and Henry Tull (ee) - 20 Oct 1823
- his
portion of the land - WIT: Martin Benders
e. Deed from Richard Rouse and Eliza his wife (or) and Henry
Tull (ee) her
portion of the land - 1 Jan 1827 WIT: none given
f. Deed from Richard Hill (or) and Henry Tull (ee) - his
portion of the
land 26 Feb 1827 - WIT: Simon Hill and Susanna Hill
g. Deed from Levi and Alexander Hill (or) and Henry Tull (ee)
their portion
of the land - 3 Feb 1831 - WIT: R. C. Rouse
NOTE:
FROM THESE DEEDS
we
know who the children of Richard and Mary Rouse Hill
were and the approximate year of their birth - there is a
possibility that
Simon was older than Richard
1. Susannah Hill - bc 1792
2. John Linkfield Hill - bc 1794
3. Rachel Hill - bc 1796
4. Thomas Hill - b 1798
5. Richard Hill - bc 1800
6. Simon Hill - b by 1802
7. Elizabeth Hill - b 25 March 1804
8. Levi - bc 1806
9. Alexander Hill - b 8 May 1809
Numerous people have worked on these lines from this point
with the exception
of Levi and Richard. For additional information see the
following:
a. Susannah Hill - Lenoir County Heritage Book and The Weaving
of the Hills
b. John Linkfield Hill - Lenoir County Heritage Book
c. Rachel Hill
d. Thomas Hill - Same as above
e. Simon Hill - Craven County Heritage Book
f. Elizabeth Hill - Weaving of the Hills
g. Alexander Hill - Suttons and this study
2. Mary wife of Richard Hill
a. There has been much speculation on her maiden name.
b. Lovit Hines Collection - Deed from Mary Hill (or) and
Thomas Hill (ee)
land on the NS of the Neuse River and the North Side of
Bucklesberry Pocosin
IT
BEING HER SHARE IN THE LANDS OF HER DECEASED BROTHER SIMON
ROUSE -
this states that she was the sister of Simon Rouse. This Simon
Rouse was the
son of Simon
Rouse, Sr. who was the father of Sally and Mary. Thus two
brothers married
two
sisters.
c. In her book on the Sutton Family, Marjorie Sutton Oliver
gives the death
date of Mary as 30 Jan 1838 which is probably about right.
Marjorie does not
know where she got this information from so it can not be
verified.
d. There has been much written about the Rouse family, most of
which is
probably wrong. A great deal of research is presently going
on, but due to
the
burning of the Dobbs/Lenoir County Records, lines may never be
proven. It has
always been said that Jonathan Rouse was the son of John Rouse
Sr. I am
inclined
to think Jonathan was the son of Simon Rouse Sr. In the Cross
Indexes there
is
a conveyance between Jonathan and Simon Rouse TOGETHER. This
would make
Simon,
Jr., Jonathan, Sally, and Mary, brothers and sisters.
3. Bible of Alexander and Finetee Rouse Hill
Alexander Hill son of Richard Hill and Mary his wife was born
the 8th May
1809
Finette Rouse daughter of Jonathan Rouse and Catherine his
wife was born the
4th of February 1812
the rest is under the line
LEVI
HILL
At this point this line has not been followed although several
people are
working on it. I do know there are many descendants living in
the Arba
section of
Greene County. I am of the opinion that Lydia Hill md William
Barwick. I also
think Lydia remarried a Tilman - NO Sally remarried the
Tilghman maybe
