Here’s an odd little nugget I found the other day. A James Hill, about the same age as my paternal ancestor, was christened on November 1st, 1765 in Hanover, Jamaica. His mother is listed as Sisly Crooks. Since one of James’ sons had that name — John Crooks Hill — is Sisly his paternal grandmother? The problem is that my James Hill wasn’t born in Jamaica, but Pennsylvania or Maryland.

1. Sisly may be misspelled. It may be Cicely instead.
