Private David E. Nathan Hemphill was born abt 1808 in Alabama.He died 18 Oct 1864 in Mississippi, and he is buried in the Haggard Family Cemetery, Winston County, Mississippi.See the free Find A Grave web site.
He married 10 Mar 1853 in Louisville, Winston County, Mississippi. He was in the Civil War. He had a sister, Martha, who married William Nowell Haggard.Mary is buried in that same cemetery.He also had a brother, Samuel Hemphill, who is also buried in that cemetery.Samuel was born 16 Mar 1826 in Pickens, Alabama.Martha was the youngest.She was born 4 Aug 1830 in Fern Springs, Winston County, Mississippi.
So that gives you some idea as to when they went from Alabama to Mississippi.
I am not aware where Robert and Eleanor (Hamilton) Hemphill were born or where they are buried for sure, but it would seem likely that they died in Winston County, Mississippi.
