Greetings! I am interested in getting in touch with anyone regarding this family which I
believe is related to me. John Hill came from England around 1869 through Pennsylvania. He
settled in Brazil, IN along with his wife, Harriet Hill, and the following children: John
Hill, William Hill, and Lizzie Hill. The men were coal miners. JOhn & Harriet HIll are
buried in Cottage Hill cemetery and the one first son, JOHN HILL, married a ROSETTA
BARRELL, and had a family of at least 5 children. JOhn & Rosetta's children are:
Thomas A., Arthur L., Charles W., Bessie A. and Sadie M. They also lived in Brazil, IN
during the 1900 census and are found in the 1921 directory. John & Rosetta are also
buried in Cottage Hill Cem. They both died in the 1930's.
I am wondering about the whereabouts of Lizzie HIll. I believe she may have died young -
around 1906 or 1907. She had a child, Henry Hill, who also died in 1913 at the age of 15.
He is buried in Cottage HIll as well.
I am interested in getting in touch with anyone from the family of the John & Rosetta
Hill family line. I believe this JOhn Hill is a step brother to the William Hill listed on
the 1880 census. I am related through the William Hill listed on the 1880 census. He is my
great grandfather who lived and died in 1907 in Brazil, IN.
Anyone with info on this family line, please contact me. Thanks, Sandy Sydlik
