John W. (Wilmarth?) Hill 1870 CT
My grandmother's middle name was Wilmarth.Margaret Wilmarth Howell.When she died in 1990 at age 95, she left me an old newspaper article about a John W. Hill who was the postmaster in Canterbury, CT in the 1870s and 1880s.He hand-carved cork cancellations for the stamps, which have become collectors' items.I am trying to find out if he is a "Wilmarth".I believe he was my grandmother's great grandfather.I believe he died in the late 1880s.He was in the Civil War and had a pension.
