Hill is purty common, and this may just be a stab in the dark, but found in "Republic of Texas: Poll Lists for 1846", compiled by Marion Day Mullins -- Francis Hill in Angelina Co, TX.
I would check land and tax records for that county, see when Francis showed up, and if a Henry showed up at about the right time to fit your Henry.Good chance a copy of the deposition taken for Francis will be in the county records, that would tie up this Francis as yours.
You might check the Angelina Co, TX GenWeb site, some GenWeb counties are not only putting their local cemeteries online, but a few other records, too.Post your query, plus ask if anyone has a copy of a county history, and will they check their copy for any possible information on your family.Anyone there that early has a good chance of at least being mentioned in county history.
