      Notes for WILLIAM HILL, JR.:

      The book "Reminiscences & Memories of North Carolina and Eminent North Carolinans" by John H. Wheeler describes Rev.William Hill, Jr. as a Baptist Minister, a sterling patriot and a honest man. His break with his families Episcopalian background is said to have temporarily caused his father to disown him. It is said by some sources he was Chaplain and a member of the Committee of Safety, Salisbury District, NC during the Revolutionary War.

      The December 1928 issue of the National Genealogical Society Quarterly Magazine states that Rev. William Hill, Jr., came to NC a few years before his father, and owned land on the Dan River, in today's Rockingham Co.,NC. His plantation was called "Popular Hill." The magazine article says Reverend William Hill lived there until his death.
