Life

Samuel Hill was born on 31 May 1812 in Edgefield County, South Carolina, according to the FamilySearch tree, which cites no source for the date.1 On 7 March 1844 he married Rebecca Freeman; the tree places the marriage in Lowndes County, Alabama, where the federal census of 1850 recorded him, and gives her death as 1855.2 On 24 June 1856 he married Sarah A. Robbins, a daughter of Solomon Robbins Sr., at Nixburg, Coosa County.3 The censuses of 1860 and 1870 found him in Coosa County, in 1860 in the Southern Division and in 1870 in Election Precinct 9, Concord.4 The tree names six children of the second marriage, born between 1857 and 1876, the last of them Samuel Robbins Hill.5 By 1878 the family had moved to Smith County, Texas, where he died on 14 October 1878; he is buried in the Bascom Cemetery near Tyler, according to the tree and a Find a Grave memorial.6 The Texas death records of five of the children of his second marriage name him as their father: William Payton Hill (1943), Mattie E. Woodley (1948), Mollie E. P. Barbee (1950), Maggie Katherine Acker (1952) and Sam R. Hill (1958).7 Inference The 1960 death record of Sarah Elisabeth Ginn, which names her father as "Sam Gill", is probably that of his daughter Sarah Elizabeth, misindexed.7 Two further Texas death records attached to his profile, of Emma Carolina Ingram in 1936 and of John S. Hill in 1939, name a Sam or Samuel Hill as father; the tree lists neither among his children.8 Inference They may be children of his first marriage, to Rebecca Freeman, for which the tree records no children, but this is untested.8
