We are looking to connect our Dr. Moses J. HILL with his proper parents
and ancestors as well as to connect his wife Betsey ? with her family.
We know that Dr. Hill was born in NY 30 Jan 1783 and his wife Betsey was
born in the same year in CT. Their first children were born in 1813 so
their marriage was probably around that time in CT.
Dr. HILL and his family moved to Lagrange IN about 1830 and in 1832 his
daughter Laura HILL married Washington ADAMS in Lagrange. Dr. HILL's
son Moses N. Hill married that same year (1832) to Nancy Martin.
Washington ADAMS and his wife Laura HILL moved to Mt. Carrol, IL about
1853. They had three children: Mary J ADAMS, Moses ADAMS and Martha
ADAMS. Mary J. ADAMS married Andrew J. CHRISTIAN in 1861 in Mt. Carrol, IL.
Although we do not know where Dr. Moses HILL is buried other than in
Illinois, we thought it possible that he lived in Mt. Carrol IL since
his daughter and son-in-law lived there. Dr. Hill died 29 Jun 1860 and
his wife Betsey in 1855.
Does anyone have information on these families so that we can trace
their ancestors? Thank you for your help.
