For a researcher not on the list:
Looking for a Roxanna Hill, born in Delaware County in 1861. Parents are Charles Monroe
Hill and Clarinda Blount. Charles born in OH. Clarinda in Indiana. Charles died in the
Civil War and is buried at Tunnel Hill, GA.
Clarinda remarried a Wm. Brittenham 3-29-1866 in Ross County, OH, and moved to Wells Co.
Here she raised another family.
For some unknown reason, Roxanna and her sister were raised by an elderly couple by the
name of Means, in Randolph County. Charles Hill's military records name the girls'
mother and him as the father - necessary for the Means to get pension.
Roxanna was not found in the 1870 census. She was just a child of 9 then. She was not
living with Means, according to the Randolph Co. census.
The family of Roxanna and Wm. Jones were listed in the 1880 census in Wells Co. They had
two sons at that time, as Roxanna was carrying her third child. She disappears at age 19
in 1880 or 1881.
William Jones remarried Tina Jane Clevenger in 1887.in Randolph County.
Where did Roxanna have this third child? Did she die? Was there a divorce? Where is she
buried? Can anyone add any details to Roxanna's life?
