DECLARATION - an abstract by Ima Eula Mewborn

Declaration was made in Johnston County, North Carolina by Nancy Hill who states 
she is a daughter of Richard Hill and his wife, Easther Hill: that the said 
Richard Hill was a soldier of the Revolutionary War that she has heard him speak 
of his being in service that he then resided in Glasgow now the County of Greene: 
that it appears from the register of ages in a book, entitled Articles of Barth (?) 
which declarant states was born in June 1763 died 20 March 1833, being age 70 and 
that Easther Hill was the wife of said ----

Said Richard Hill when married, declarant cannot state but he relies on the 
testimony of Mary Sugg upon the registry of the age of Drury or Drewry Hill who was 
born Dec. 2, 1790 and who was the oldest child of said Richard and Esther Hill, and 
that Easther Hill wife of and widow of said Richard died June 2, 1842, never having 
married again after death of her husband.  That Richard and Easther Hill had fourteen 
children, all now living to wit:  Polly Dixon widow of Benjamin Dixon, Alred Hill, 
Nancy the wife of declarant John Dixon, Penny married to Needham Waters, Martha Hill, 
Henry Hill, Elizabeth married Bryant Tindal, Avery married to William Farmer, Smitha 
married to John Hill, Richard Hill, John D. Hill, and Easther married to Henry Sugg.  
Declarant swears his mother-in-law Easther Hill did not apply for her pension during 
her life ----

One place in the declaration it is shown that Nancy Hill made same, but John Dixon 
signed same 1843 Nov 9 which who I suppose was her husband.

NOTE: At the bottom, Ima has the following note:

Omitted from the above list is Robert (Robin) Hill married Elizabeth (Betsey) Spivey
