HILL/BROWN
Seek any information on families with surname HILL in 1800s Giles Co., VA,
and later Logan Co., WV, with or without information on the parentage of
Hannah HILL, born circa 1800 in possibly the section of Logan County which was
previously Giles County and married there in 1821 to John Bridges BROWN, War
of 1812 veteran, who settled there from Mt. Sterling, KY. They later moved to
Missouri where Hannah died in 1863. We are informed and believe that at the
time of Hannah's birth there were several prominent families named HILL in
Giles Co., VA and later Logan Co., WV and we would like to connect with
descendants of any of them. Any information is appreciated and will share what
little information we have. Thank you for your courtesy and cooperation in
this regard.
Sincerely, Robert Campbell of Long Beach, California, great-
great-great-grandson of HANNAH HILL BROWN.

BYRNS
I am searching for information on David BYRNS (possibly BYRNES or BURNS) who live in the Giles-Wythe County
area in the early 1800s. His wife was Elizabeth ? They had several children, among them Sara Jane and John.
David BYRNS supposedly donated land for the current Byrnes Chapel in Giles or Wythe County. He later moved
to Wise County. Any info on parents, sibling, etc. of David and/or Elizabeth BYRNS would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
