At that time Wilkes County was quite large, including what later became Elbert, Oglethorpe, Coweta, and others of the later north Georgia counties. Among our Abraham Hill’s close relatives who came to Georgia with him were his cousin Tom and Tom’s sons – Thomas Abraham Wylie Hill (-1848), Middleton Milledge Meade Hill (1802-1850), and Thomas Baytop Jefferson Hill (1814-1873). They all started moving west from Washington, GA, within a few years. Thomas Hill, father of the three cousins who went to Texas, married Sarah “Sallie” McGehee, then moved to Marion County, AL, before later moving with his sons to Bastrop County, Texas. http://hillsprairie.blogharbor.com/blog/_archives/2009/5/8/4179610.html Sarah Judith Hinton, daughter of Col. John Hinton and Mary Hardy COLONEL JOHN HINTON (JAMES3, JOHN CHAPMAN2, THOMAS1) was born 1673 in ,England, and died June 06, 1731 in Precinct, Chowan, North Carolina, USA. He married MARY HARDY Abt. 1690 in of Precinct, Chowan, North Carolina,. She was born Abt. 1675 in Precinct, Chowan, North Carolina, , and died Aft. 1732. Mary Hardy (ca 1685-before 1744) was the daughter of John Hardy I , (born October 17, 1665, in Dorchestershire, England, died January 19, 1718, in Chowan County, North Carolina) and Charity O’Dyer (born ca 1660, in England, died before 1719 in Bertie County, North Carolina). John Hardy I was the son of John Noble Worthington Hardy (born ca 1638, Pembroke, Wales, died October 7, 1697, Chowan District, North Carolina) and Emily Parker . John Noble Worthington Hardy moved from Wales to England, and then sometime after 1677, to America. John Noble Worthington Hardy was the son of Anthony Hardy , born January 7, 1614, in Pembroke, Wales, and died there in 1655. http://www.carsonjohnson.com/chapter07-bryan.htm Sub notes: Hinton Families Notes: On March 11, 1664/65, Francis Spike patented land in the Upper Parish of Nansemond County, Virginia at the head of Mathews Creek "butting on the land of William Eason." Some seven months later, on October 20, 1665, Wm. Eason patended 700 acres in the Upper Parish on Mathews Creek "for the importation of himself, wife and twelve other colonists to Virginia." No additional records have been located connected with this William Eason. He most likely died in Nansemond County, Virginia before 1704. It is probable that he left three sons because they appear on the 1704 Rent Roll of that county as land owners. http://www.easons.eason.net/jbbell/jbbpg6.htm Notes: 1664 March 11: Nansemond Co: Francis Spike: 700 acres on the head of a creek Called Mathews Creek adjoining the land of William Eaton: Land Office Patents # 5, 1661-1666 vol 1 & 2 pg 205 on reel 5: Library of Virginia Archives Section Notes: Descndancy Chart for Francis Speight Sr. who died in Nansmond Co.

They were great, great grandchildren of Sir Thomas Hinton, the largest investor to establish the Jamestown (VA) settlement.

Bev Conolly A White Oak DNA researcher From: BRConolly@aol.com Susanna Fields b. 15 Dec. 1765 NC, d. 20 Sept. 1794. Married Wm. Lester 17 Sept. 1780. It is posted online that she died in Sumner Co., TN which is not correct. Susanna died after giving Wm. Lester six sons. Joshua, Presley, William III, Vincent, John & Thomas. Wm. married 2nd wife 10 Sept 1795 in Federal City (Washington DC). Wm. Lester did not come to wilson Co., TN until 1816. Two of his sons, Joshua and Presley came to Wilson Co. in 1801. Presley and Joshua were both Baptist ministers. One of the trees list Joshua b. Smith Fork TN. This is incorrect. He was pastor at Smith Fork Baptist church, Wilson Co., TN. I know vincent was in Wilson Co. His name appears in a Cainsville Store Ledger dated 1836-37. There is a William Lester b. VA on the US Fed. Census, Wilson Co.,TN for 1850. There is a marriage record for Wm. and Mary Jane Duffy. I am not interested in a full tree on all the descendants of Nathaniel Fields and Mary as there are millions.

NOTES:
E. H. Cathey (2002) writes that Alexander Cathey, born 1707, married Elizabeth Pinkney. He appears in the Cumberland Valley in 1734. EHC speculates that Alexander, an indentured servant, met and married Ms Pinkney when he and his master were located near Annapolis, MD. Later, in the McFarland neighborhood on Conodoguinet Creek (near the present day Pennsylvania Turnpike, I-76), Alexander lived across the creek from his uncle James Cathey. It is believed that Alexander left Lancaster Co., PA, for Virginia after his father’s death.
In 1753 Alexander Cathey was a Justice of the Peace in Salisbury, NC. He presided over the first courts of Rowan County which were held in 1755. He was a friend and neighbor of Squire Boone, father of the famous Daniel Boone. He is buried near Salisbury in the Thyatira Cemetery, formerly Catheys Meeting House; his monument states “Alexander Cathey who died 1766, age 59 years.” Most of the Cathey clan migrated from Rowan to Mecklenburg County, NC, before the American Revolution.
Heritage of Rowan County, NC, Vol. 1, 1991: Alexander Cathey is described as “a typical Scots; he was loud, rowdy, hard-working, loved his family and liked a good drink and a good fight.” “Maury County TN History and Families” (Turner Publ., 1998), p. 222: John Cathey, born in Ulster, Ireland, came with his family to Lancaster County, PA, where his will was recorded in 1742. His son, Alexander, is the progenitor of the Maury County branch of the Cathey family. Alexander (b. 1707 in Ulster, Ire.) married Mary Elizabeth Pinckney. After his father’s death, his family traveled down the Great Wagon Road, stopping for a short time in Augusta County, VA, before they journeyed on to Rowan county, NC. .. Alexander was a leader of the Cathey (Scots-Irish) settlement in Rowan County. He died in 1766 and is buried in the Thyatira (Old Cathey Meeting House) Church cemetery in Rowan County. The children of Alexander and Mary Elizabeth Pinckney were: John Cathey, James Cathey, William Cathey, Richard Cathey, Margare Cathey t, and Alice Cathey. Nine years after the death of Alexander Cathey, the Revolutionary War started. This writer has not documented a service record for John Cathey, but William Cathey served as a Major and James Cathey served as a Captain during the war. Richard served in the NC Militia. William received a land grant for 4,000 acres of land on the south side of Duck River in Tennessee Territory, and James Cathey received 2,000 acres of land in West Tennessee. Richard Cathey was also granted land in Tennessee. Before James Cathey died in NC in 1791, he traded his land to his brother, William Cathey, for 2,000 acres of land on Duck River so that their children could be neighbors in the new land. The Cathey brothers started disposing the land their father had left them and looked westward to Tennessee Territory. By 1800 there was but one Cathey family on the Federal Census for Rowan County. {Much of the Cathey data came from Boyt H. Cathey}”
