Harriman, Tennessee,
                             July 3, 1920.

Hon. John C. Daves,
214 Chamber of Commerce,
Baltimore, Md.

Dear Sir:- I heartily approve of the action of the General
Society, in making you Secretary General.  Please accept my
congratulations, for I know you will fill the office well.

Regarding my membership in the Society, I would be very
glad to transfer to the right of Colonel Sumter and let my
kinsman take up the Hill right, but unfortunately he is not
a descendant of the Hill family, being related on my
maternal side.

If you will be so good as to suggest just how to take up
this Hill right, I will be only too glad to go into the
matter more thoroughly and see just what I can prove.  I
appreciate the fact that you are a busy man and have not
the time to go over this ground again.

Since looking over the records belonging to the lady I
spoke of before, I am pretty certain that Lieut. William
Hill, 1st Reg. N.C. Continental Troops, was from Bertie
County and is her ancestor and not mine or the William
Hill of Rockingham County, who was Chaplain in the American
Army at the Battle of Guildford Court House.

I will appreciate the favor if you will suggest the course
to persue regarding the Hill right.

Thanking you for the Roster of the General Society, and for
all past favors, I am,

Most sincerely yours,


CKH/K
