Descendants of Robert Hill, headright of Francis England 1642
I am interested in contacting anyone who had researched the descendants of Robert Hill and wife Elizabeth who are shown in Cavaliers and Pioneers as emigrating in 1642.Francis England received the headright for their transportation.
My ancestor Thomas Hill was granted land between the Broad, Saluda and Enoree Rivers in Berkely Co., SC in 1768. I believe that he is the same Thomas Hill who had a warrant for land in Granville Co. NC in 1755 or a member of the same family.
Based on naming patterns, I believe that the Granville CO. NC and Berkley Co./Ninety-Six District/Union Co. SC Hills to be descendants of the Isle of Wight and Surry Co. VA Hills.Many of these Hill descendants of Robert Hill, the emigrant, are listed in "Southside Virginia Families."
Is anyone a Hill family expert who can help me confirm or deny that he is of that family, and, if so, help me identify his father?I'd be grateful for any clues.
