      Date: Sat, 20 Apr 2002 12:13:55 EDT

      My mother-in-law is a direct Hill descendant. Byrd was the son of Rev. Allen
      Hill and Sarah Garrett. My best guess for the reason that Louisa died and is
      buried in Holly Springs, Marshall Co., MS is the family was visiting Byrd's
      brother John "Jack" Garrett Hill, Sr. and his family when Louisa became ill.
      After the signing of a treaty with the Chickasaw Indians which moved the
      Indians to Oklahoma and opened sections in North Mississippi to settlement
      (about 1837), John G. Hill moved his family to Marshall County, Mississippi
      near Holly Springs in the Wesley Chapel neighborhood. ~Carolyn Menges, San
      Leandro, CA
