H(amilton) H(enry) Hill Feb. 14, 1839 Mar. 9, 1918 Pvt. Co. C, 59th Regt. Ga. Vols. Confederate States Army Son of Archibald Hill & Samantha Barfield Husband of (1) Mary A.J. "Mollie" Morris Murray, (2) Mary A.V. Moulton, (3) Melvina Thompson, (4) Camillia Floyd, & (5) Susan Fitspatrick Culpepper Watson. "Hamp" Hill's date of birth is hotly contested. I have personally seen 5 five differnt dates, each having about the same weight in supporting documentation. I personally believe that even he didn't know his own birthdate. My personal favorite birth date is Dec. 13, 1842. It is the date he gave on his army enlistment and service record and it appears on his affidavit for pension years later.
