I'm trying to establsh the parents of Tillman Hill ~1820-1910 from the Grimsby area. He was married to Jane Ann Perkins. His mother's maiden name was Culp. I have many reasons to believe that Abraham Hill and Azuba (Margaret) Culp were his parents but I need some kind of confirmation i.e. Abraham's will, family bible, etc. If anyone has any info or ideas on this branch of the Hill family please contact me. brucesmurray@hotmail.comRegards, Bruce S. Murray. Hamilton, ON

The Annals Of The Forty, Vol.5 (Available for purchase from the Grimsby Historical Museum) has the following information: HILL - Solomon Hill was the first member of this family to settle in Grimsby Township. His name was on Lot 6 Conc.IX near Smithville. He probably came from Duchess County, New York State, with the Griffin Family. He married Bethia, dau. of Richard Griffin about 1782. Solomon Hill served on the Grimsby Township Council as one of two Assessors in 1798 and 1799 and as Collector in 1804 and he was elected a Member of Parliament in 1803. Among 12 or more children listed is: Abraham Hill, b. 1787 md. Azubah Culp l Sept.1811. They lived on Lot 3 Conc. l Clinton. Abraham & Azubah are buried in the Presbyterian Churchyard, Smithville. Culp Family History is in Vol.4. Azubah Culp listed as dau.of Christopher & Frances Culp The Grimsby Historical Museum sells these publication and they have a site on the Internet.

Helen:
Thank you for all the great information. Israel was my grandfather. He married Augusta Gouda after divorcing her sister (name unknown to me) with whom he had 3 children.(Sadie, Chuck and Ed) They then had 6 children together (Myrtle, Violet, Inez, Jim, Virgina and my father, Peter) Israel died Novemberf 12, 1938 at age 68 at his home in Palmyra after suffering a heart attack. I have more information regarding that portion of the family. E-mail me if you're interested and it may be easier to exchange info that way. I just recently located a photoof Israel and some other relatives whose identity is unknown unfortuantely.
