Additional Comments:
Robert Elbert Hill and Anthony J. Hill were first cousins and for a number of 
years business partners, doing business in the name of Hill & Hill.  Amongst 
other things they had a thriving livery business and also purchased together 
many parcels of land.

The interesting thing about this deed is the "Negro grave-yard" mentioned in 
the second parcel.  My cemetery map does not show any such cemetery in that 
area.  Does anyone know anything about this cemetery?
