More on Aaron HillAaron Hill is of particular interest to us, as Aaron Hill travelled "prospecting" from North Carolina to Indiana and back in 1829 with Joseph Henley, brother of his first wife, Mary Henley. We have a copy of his diary of the trip from the Randolph County NC Journal, Vol III, #3, Fall 1978 and when time permits will post it here.Aaron Hill was son of William and Mary Smith Hill. William Hill was born 1/31/1740, son of Aaron and Margaret Smith Hill. He married Mary Smith, daughter of John Smith on 11/10/1762 at Center Monthly Meeting. William and Mary had twelve children documented in Quaker records. Of interest to us are Aaron and his brother Samuel Hill. Samuel Hill married Mary Branson and they had a daughter Anna Hill born 7/23/1849 in Randolph County. Anna Hill married Elihu Mendenhall, son of James and Miriam Hoggatt Mendenhall, on 6/17/1841 at Back Creek MM, Randolph County. They had four children; then Anna died 12/24/1856 and Elihu married Aaron's daughter Abigail Hill (more below). Elihu Mendenhall was a descendant of Aaron and Rose Pearson Mendenhall, through their son James, and thus was a distant Woodward cousin. MORE TO COME.... |
