Person:Hulda Jackson (2)

The Pension Application of Huldah Hill, widow of John Hill is long and I won't copy it here. It can be found at http://southerncampaign.org/pen/index.htm .

The application is dated 3 Feb 1838 from Anson Co., NC. In it she states she has remained unmarried since his death, he was in the service two or three years before their marriage and at least 3 months after their marriage. She gives John's birthdate 4 Feb 1749; location, Halifax County, NC, and his date of death was 14 Aug 1817. Date of their marriage was 4 Aug 1781. Also mentions that her parents opposed their marriage because she had not known him long, but John sent a young boy to get her and she left the family home without the parents knowledge or permission to marry him. Their marriage was performed by Stephen Miller J.P. and James Duncan a witness. She mentions her brother Isaac Jackson, her brother Capt. Jonathan Jackson, her father Col. John Jackson. Her husband had been taken prisioner and parolled. Her father and brothers are now deceased. She offers the large family Bible as a record of the family: John Hill the son of John Hill &Huldah Hill was born the 9th day of January 1781, Sara Hill the Daughter of John Hill & Huldah Hill his wife was born the 23rd day April, 1783 Abraham Hill the son of John Hill & Huldah Hill his wife was born the 22nd day of July 1786, Isaac Hill the son of John Hill & Huldah Hill his wife was born the ninth day of January 1788, Jacob Hill the son of John Hill & Huldah Hill his wife was born the 21st day December 1790 Elizabeth Hill the Daughter of John Hill & Huldah Hill his wife was born the 12th day of November 1793 Jonathan J.
