HILL -
As far as I can tell, my Hill Family originates in Virginia, with the ancestors of my
great-great-grandfather, John F. Hill and his brother, Scott Hill. I am not sure of
what county in Virginia, but on John's death certificate, it says he was born in VA. I am looking
forward to your response.

ROBINSON, WILSON,
WOODY -
My g-grandmother had one brother who died in the Civil War. I was told he died in "Kentucky,
Virginia". I found a reference to a battle or skirmish at Kecaughon (?) Virginia on the day
he was supposed to have died in 1861. I have been unable to find the reference again. Could
anyone help me with this? He was her only brother, Bartley Wilson from Yancey Co. NC. His
mother was Judith Robinson, daughter of George and Susannah (Woody)
Robinson, who went into NC in 1790s from Franklin Co. VA. Merry Christmas to all.

COCKERHAM, PIGG -
Need to find the origin of Daniel Cockerham who died in Halifax County in 1767. His wife
is believed to have been named Francis. Daniel may have moved there from Prince William Co and
was likely born around 1700-20. His son Daniel Jr., d. in Halifax County in 1772, was married to
Martha who married Samuel Pigg after the death of Dan Jr. Daniel Jr. is believed to be the
father of Elder Humphrey Cockerham b. 1745 in Halifax? who moved to Wilkes County, North
Carolina about 1777 and died there in 1835. I have data to swap.

SORENSEN, SORENSON -
Like a million other genealogists, I am trying to find the proverbial needle in my family
haystack. I have a great uncle that must have been part nomad. He was born in Denmark, 31
August 1889. I am certain his name probably was NOT Peter when he immigrated at age 2, but more
than likely Pedder, Peder or Petter. The surname was Sorensen ... which I have found
incorrectly listed in several of his family member's records as SorensOn. Uncle Pete's
date of death was March 5 or 6th, 1956, again I am assuming in Virginia. Anyway, to make a long
story longer, Uncle Pete had a garage partnership in Chicago in the 20s. He sold out his portion
of the business just prior to the Depression (I think) and moved to Texas, where he was reported
to have been a deputy sheriff or a sheriff around the San Antonio area...so what am I doing in
Virginia? A helpful person found Uncle Pete's social security listing in the SSDI. (Now WHY
didn't I think of that?) The number was obtained in Texas, BUT his last residence was listed as
Virginia. I don't have a clue WHERE in Virginia. The information indicates that Uncle Pete had
no children. His wife's name was Mary, and supposedly they were married in or around the Chicago
area. So far everything I have turned up has yielded only rumor ... nothing concrete ... and
since I am probably the only person looking for Uncle Pete, I doubt there would be anything
listed in the way of queries. I would appreciate any information, suggestions, clues ... etc ...
to find this galloping relative! Thank you! Judi Sorensen Antonson, Pueblo, Colorado

COLEY, GILLESPIE -
My great grandfather's name is Jacob Monroe Gillespie (b. 1859, possibly in Tazewell
county, VA and d. 1918 in Kay county, OK.) He married Lucinda Coley. I do not have a date.
I am looking for his father's name. Jacob had a son, my grandfather, named William Reese Adison
Gillespie who was born 11-24-1876 in north Tazewell county, VA. Brothers of W.R.A. were
Thomas (b.5-30-1878, d. 8- 22-1898) and Emmett. I am also trying to find out where Emmett went.

HATHHORN, HUTTON, PORTER -
I am looking for any information on a Esau HUTTON who was born around 1818 in Virginia and
later moved to Saline County Missouri were I found him in the 1850 State census married to Betty
(last name unknown). She was born about 1820 in Virginia. They had five children at the time of
the 1850 census their names were Mary E. age 12, James W. age 6, John D. age 4, Elizabeth F. age
3 and Martha J.. I know that they had several other children one was my Susan Cathryn (Katie)
HUTTON [my line] and several that died before the age of 5. There was a Elizabeth
HATHHORN, age 63 born in Maryland living with them in the 1850 census. He also was a
farmer. I believe he had a brother that may have moved to Missouri with him his name was James
HUTTON; Elizabeth born in Kentucky, Joseph, Sarah M., William, Charles, and Newton. There
was also a Elizabeth PORTER, age 71 born in Virginia, living with them at he time of the
1850 Saline County, Missouri County Census. He was a carpenter. Any information on these families

BRUMFIELD, CLAY, COBURN -
I am seeking the parents of Thomas Coburn, born 1811 in Va. died 1891 in Lawrence County
Ky, and his brother Gordon Coburn born 1804 in Va. Thomas Coburn married Julina
Brumfield born 1811 in Va. She died 1908 in Lawrence Co. Ky. Gordon Coburn married
Clarinda Brumfield born 1806 in Va. Both Julina and Clarinda were the daughters of Micajah
Brumfield and Ellen Clay of Giles Co. Va. Jeremiah Coburn and Micajah
Brumfield were listed as bondsmen in the marriage of Clarinda Brumfield and Gordon
Coburn on 18 July 1825 in Giles Co. Va. Micajah and Thomas were in the 1820 and 1830
census of Giles Co. Micajah moved to Lawrence Co. Ky and was in that census in 1840. Thomas
Coburn, Gordon Coburn and their famlies were in the 1850 census of Lawrence Co. Ky.
Although Thomas Coburn lived in Gallia County Ohio and had his first two children there
before moving to Ky. Jeremiah Coburn is believed to be the Father of Thomas and Gordon but
need some proof. Jeremiah does not appear in any of the 1840 or 1850 census in Ky. Jeremiah's
brothers believed to be Samuel, David, James, Jacob and possibly Issac Coburn from Va.
Appreciate any help.
