WASHINGTON

November 6, 1918.

	Dear Sir:

		Referring to your letter of October 28, 1918,
	and my reply of October 31st, regarding the family
	of Joab Hill:

		I am giving you, on the enclosed schedule, a
	copy of the data returned for the only head of a family
	named Joab Hill found enumerated in the schedules for
	McMinn County, Tennessee, at the Census of 1830.

		The schedules for McMinn County, Tennessee,
	as returned at the censuses of 1840 and 1850, have been
	carefully examined but we fail to find any person named
	Joab Hill enumerated therein.

		At the censuses prior to and including that
	of 1840 only the names of the heads of families were
	returned, together with the number of members of the
	family returned by certain age groups and by sex.

	Very respectfully,

	Sam. F*. Rogers
	Director.

	Mr. R. B. Cassell,
	 Attorney at Law,
	Harriman, Tennessee.

	Enclosure.
