Tazwell B. HILL was my Great Grandfather's younger brother. He was born 27
May 1837 in Callaway Co., Missouri not long after his parents, John &
Frances (TATUM) migrated there from Virginia.

He married first Belle MOGER, 4 Mar 1862, probably in Callaway Co.,
Missouri.
She was born 1 Feb 1841 and died 12 Mar 1873.

Their children were:Aliceb: 1863
Annieb: 1865
Tinab: 1867
Leetieb: 1868

He married second Amanda M. ROSS, 30 Dec 1873 in Crawford Co., Georgia. *
She was born 14 Mar 1846 and died 6 Mar 1915.

Their children were:Addieb: 1877
Otieb: 1878

Tazewell died 11 Dec 1925, probably in Audrain Co., Missouri. He and his
two wives are buried in Midway Cemetery, 12 miles north of Mexico, Audrain
Co., MO.

* PUZZLE - This marriage is documented, but I guess I'm presuming that
my Tazwell HILL and the one listed in the marriage book are the same. My
two reasons for doing so are: 1 - Tazwell is a very unusual given name. 2
- Amenda (spelling) is how his wife's name is spelled on the 1880 census.
But the census also causes some confusion because her birthplace is shown
as Ohio. It's possible she moved with her family or a spouse from Ohio to
Georgia. Figuring she was 27 when she married in 1873, an earlier marriage
would be quite possible. The other part of the puzzle is, why and when was
Tazwell in Crawford Co., Georgia?

I'm hoping one of you has information about Tazwell, his wives and/or his
children that you're willing to share. Thanks for reading this far, and
good luck with your own puzzles.
