Fellow Virginia Researchers:
Being as how there are numerous Hill families in Virginia I am pasting in
below the following email from the Hill list regarding the ambitious DNA
project that is underway. This might be of interest particularly to some of
you having trouble making connections. If so I recommend contacting:Ray HILL
([log in to unmask])
For me this is a godsend as I descend from an illegitimate Hill great
grandfather in TN believed to descend from one of the lines already tested
(Isaac Hill and Lucinda Wallace), as all those named below have been. This
means an initial investment for us cousins of $99 split several ways, versus
$600 or more plus time dregging up the folks to match.
Best Regards,
Janet Hunter

Hello fellow HILL listers:
I just wanted to make everyone aware that a HILL family DNA project
is well underway. Our main objective for participants in this project is to
find
DNA matches with one or more well-researched HILL lines not otherwise proven
by traditional methods of research. To start the project, we selected
living MALE participants from the following lines:
Henry Truman HILL (NORTHERN BRANCH/Illinois)
Henry Truman HILL (SOUTHERN BRANCH/Old Ninety-Six, SC)
Robert HILL/Mary WEBB (Surry Co. VA)
William HILL/Susannah SMITHERS (Surry Co. NC)
Jonas Hill/Mary Barnes (NC > SC > TN)
Henry HILL (brother of Jonas)/Sarah COX (NC > SC > TN)
Isaac HILL, Sr./Lucinda Wallace (MD > NC > GA > TN > TX)
William HILL/Hannah BRIDGES (NC > SC > GA)
Wilkes Co. GA HILLs, aka Henry HILL/Mary HINTON
Green B. HILL/Martha IVEY (VA > NC > SC > GA > AL > TX)
Charles Hill/Temperance Webb
Abel Hill/wife unknown
Robert Hill/Martha Halbert
Moses Hill of Fairfield SC
Results from the test will begin to be posted in a few weeks.
Participation in the test is open to ANY male HILL descendant of ANY Hill
line. The more participants we have, the more we will all learn from this.
If you are interested in participating, please contact Ray HILL
([log in to unmask]), who is serving as our HILL DNA Project
Administrator. Email to Ray your NAME, ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER, and EMAIL
ADDRESS. He will then order you a kit which will be promptly be sent to your
home. The process involves an easy swabbing of the inside of the
participant's mouth with the materials provided. The kit is then returned to
the testing lab and you will be sent a confirmation email when it arrives.
When the lab completes their analysis of your DNA, you will be notified of
the results. If your code matches another participant in the project, each
of you will be notified of the match, which we are hoping will lead to some
new breakthroughs for some of us. The cost is $99 (+$2 shipping).
Please contact Ray if you have any further questions.
