  • Notes 
    • Sibling? Jno. HILL, born ca 1834 PA; found in William Hill's home in the Morgan Co IL census 1860.

      Sangamon Co IL? I found a reference on ancestry.com which indicates that Minnie Ellen HILL was born 4 Aug 1869 in Sangamon Co IL. This county is right next door to Morgan Co IL, where the family is found in the 1860 census.
