Life

Sarah Adeline Robbins was born on 10 June 1834 at Nixburg, Coosa County, Alabama, a daughter of Solomon Robbins Sr. and Mary Martha Wilson, according to the FamilySearch tree, which cites no source for the date.1 Her younger sister Kate Grayson, in a letter about the family printed in George E. Brewer's "History of Coosa County, Alabama" (1942), gives the same date and place; the letter is a family recollection printed in a county history, a secondary source.2 By the letter's account her father had moved the family from Autauga County to Coosa County in 1832 (the printed text reads "1882"), and she was the first of his children it records as born at Nixburg, where he kept the first post office.3 The federal census of 1850 listed her as Adeline Robbins in the Coosa County household indexed under her mother, Mary Robbins.4

On 24 June 1856 she married Samuel Hill, a widower born in South Carolina in 1812; the tree places the marriage at Nixburg, and her sister's letter also names her husband as Samuel Hill.5 The censuses of 1860 and 1870 recorded "S A Hill" in Samuel Hill's household in Coosa County, in 1870 in the Concord precinct.6 The tree names six children: Mary Jane (born 1857), Margaret Katherine (1859), Martha Eliza (1861), Sarah Elizabeth (1864), William Peyton (1870) and Samuel Robbins (1876).7

By 1878 the family was in Smith County, Texas, where her husband died that October, and the census of 1880 recorded S. A. Hill in Justice Precinct 1 of the county.8 In 1900 she was living in the household of her son Samuel R. Hill in Smith County.9 She died at Tyler, Smith County, on 24 December 1903, a date confirmed by the Texas death index and by her sister's letter, which says she "Died in Texas, December 24th, 1903"; the tree places her burial at Bascom, where a Find a Grave memorial to Sarah Adeline Robbins Hill is indexed.10 The Texas death records of five of her children name her as their mother, as Sallie, Adaline or Sarah Adoline Robbins: William Payton Hill (1943), Mattie E. Woodley (1948), Mollie E. P. Barbee (1950), Maggie Katherine Acker (1952) and Sam R. Hill (1958).11
