HILL CEMETERY
Madison County, Tennessee

            Hill Cemetery is located on the Campbell Lane 
about 1 mile from its intersection with Steam Hill Ferry

sale.

2003. The cemetery was recorded by B. R. Randolph on May 27, 
1972. His record appears in Family Findings, Vol. VI, No. 1,

Notes by B. R. Randolph:
          [Referring to Hill cenotaph] Luraney and Lucindy 
were twins.
          There are a number of unmarked graves in this old 
cemetery, among which is undoubtedly the grave of Mary Hill, 
sister of Allen Hill and wife of Martin True. Martin True was 
a Revolutionary War soldier.
          Anderson Co, Texas is where two of Allen Hill's 
brothers in law settled, the Rev Thomas Ranks who married 
Sarah "Sally" Hill and George Ranks who married Luraney Hill. 
Thomas and Sarah (Hill) Ranks are buried in old Antioch 
Cemetery near Montalba in Anderson Co, Texas. Their markers 
were still readable a few years ago but have since been 
destroyed by vandals. George and Thomas Hank's sister, Joicey, 
married Reuben Hill. Reuben and Joicey died in Maury Co, Tenn. 
Allen' s brother Daniel Hill is buried in Rose Hill Cemetery 
in McNairy Co, Tenn. These Hill's are children of Thomas & 
______ (Hamblen) Hill of Pittsylvania Co, Va.
