Subject: [HILL-L] James Hill Fayette County, Georgia

Hello to All,
My research has been James Hill and wife Elizabeth Cleckler in Fayette
County, Georgia. With the help of other researcher I have put together
enough info to make a statement as to what line James goes with. Based on the
info below I believe that James is son of William Hill and step son of Lydia
White Jones Hill. I believe his mother was ELizabeth Clanton based on his
age.
Please read over and let me have your thoughts.
In 1809 in Jasper County, Georgia, James Hill was mentioned in the estate
papers of William Hill and Lydia White Jones.
William Hill had 2 daughters, one married Cheadle Cochran and the other
Benjamin Lassiter. Both where on the adminstration papers of James Hill's
estate.
On September 15, 1806 James Hill m. Christian Lassiter sister of Benjamin
Lassiter.
On April 3, 1808 James Hill m. Elizabeth Cleckler, sister of Elijah Cleckler.
