Cherokee Phoenix March 4, 1829
“Married on the 3rd of March, at the Asbury Missionary Institute, near Fort 
Mitchell Creek Nation, by the reverend Mr. Hill, the Mr. James Hill of the US 
Army, to Miss Amanda Doyle, a Creek Pupil of the Institution. This 
establishment is under the charge of Mr. and Mrs. Hill, who were desirous of 
showing the natives how this ceremony is performed in a refined state of 
society, and the highest encomiums are due them for their entire success. 
Great exertion and ingenuity were necessary to accomplish it. The company 
consisted of about twenty white persons and one hundred and fifty natives. 
The bride and her two maids were dressed with great taste and propriety, 
according to the fashion of the age. The groom and his two associated were in 
full military costume; and those persons present accustomed to wedding scenes, 
pronounced this bridal party one of the handsomest they had ever witnessed. 
After the marriage ceremony, the happy pair were congratulated with all good 
wishes; cake and wine were passed around, and in due time a bountiful supper 
was partaken of by the whole company , and the evening passed on in the most 
agreeable manner possible. All parties seemed delighted with the occasion. A 
number of strangers present will never forget the kind and hospitable 
reception given them by Mr. and Mrs. Hill.-Georgia Courier”-transcribed from 
the Cherokee Phoenix 1929

Hill marriages to Nancy, Sara, and Amanda Doyle (Creek Nation Citizens) live 
in Liberty, Calhoun, and Jackson Counties Florida today
