This morning I received two messages from separate Hill researchers, asking about DNA. This is odd, because I rarely receive any mail about it.
One of the men said that I had written to him in January of 2007. His earliest known Hill is a James Hill who married Armonda McGrea in 1839 in Butler County, Ohio. He died five years later.
In my original message I wrote that David Hill, born about 1812, might be related to my ancestor James Hill, born in 1763 in Pennsylvania.
Another Hill who traced his family back to Butler County, Ohio is related, based on DNA testing.
I just sent a message to both of them in the hope we will begin collaborating on our research.
