• Notes

  Mary Helen Haines notes: Her tombstone actually reads death date of May 9, 1838. Will of Elizabeth Hill, p. 515, Will Book 4 abstraction from Jefferson Co. Tennessee Will Book 4 & Sale Book 1833-1840, p. 50 "I confirm my two sons, John W. Hill and Wm. Hill have each recd a portion by me of my part of the estate of my decd husband, Robert Hill. I give my daughter, Priscilla Hill, the horse now owned by her. I have retained one thousand dollars of the estate willed by my dec'd husband to me. My daughter, Jane Hill, shall have that sum. I appoint my son, John W. Hill, guardian of said daughters, Priscilla and Jane. I appoint my son John W. Hill, executor of my Will. 16th of Sept. 1837. Witnesses: Robert McFarland and Benjamin McFarland. Elizabeth Hill (her mark) July court 1838. Will of Elizabeth Hill dec'd was presented in court for probate. John W. Hill qualified. Elizabeth and her husband Robert Hill are buried in the Col. Robert McFarland Cemetery. In the Marriages of Jefferson County, tennessee 1792-1836, p. 15, Betsy McFarland married Robert Hill on July 2, 1806. I have included Elizabeth as a child of Robert because of her burial in his cemetery. On her tombstone it reads that she died May 9, 1838, age 51Y 5M 28D (according to photo on FindAGrave). This would put her birth day as Nov. 11, 1786. However, then there is the problem with her sister Margaret being born Jan. 1787. Elizabeth and her husband Robert Hill are buried in the Col. Robert McFarland Cemetery. In the Marriages of Jefferson County, tennessee 1792-1836, p. 15, Betsy McFarland married Robert Hill on July 2, 1806. I have included Elizabeth as a child of Robert because of her burial in his cemetery. On her tombstone it reads that she died May 9, 1833, age 54Y 5M 28D. This would put her birth day as Nov. 11, 1778. If that is correct, then she is probably a twin of James, and their birthdates need to be reconciled.
