Mr. C. K. Hill
	  Harriman, Tenn.

Dear Sir,

	No doubt you
will be surprised to
get a letter from a
stranger, but I have
been trying to trace
my ancestors back to
the American Revolution
and in so doing was
advised by Miss Bass
of Richmond Va. that
you were the one person
that could help me.
I was a Miss Hill and
my people came from Tenn.
to Ark.  My Grand father

page two

was Geo. Hill, his father
Reuben Hill and his mother
was Joeasy Hank's (or Hauk's) of Ky.
They lived in Tenn. and
my Grand father had letters
from his mother written in
1847 which I have in my
possession now.  Joeasy Hanks (or Hauks)
was a sister of Elijah Hank's (or Hauk's)
a Baptist preacher & lived in
Maury Co. Tenn.

Now, what I want to know
is this, what was Reuben
Hill's father's name? and
was he in the American
Revolution 1776.  I want
to join the D.A.R's.  Can
you help me out on this
data.  I will be so glad
to hear from you and
can assure you any in
formation will be appreciated.
The dates and information
I have was taken from our
old bible.

The Thomas Hill and John
Hill data was told to me
by an old relative D. R.
Hill of Eugene, Ore, son of
Hank's (or Hauk's), Neville, Hill.

Thanking you for any in
formation on this line.

		Respt
		Mrs. E. L. Dew
		421 South 4th St.
		Okemah, Okla.
I was Miss Caroline J. Hill
