See details on Asa Hill's family (siblings and parents) with mention of Asa married to Elizabeth Barksdale on 10/6/1808. Asa was long time confused with Abraham Webb Hill (see his entry).

ASA HILL, (Please note that Asa is often confused with Abraham Webb Hill, a different Hill
in Texas during the same timeframe. In 1932, the book "Heroes of San Jacinto" by Dixon&Kemp, first incorrectly published Asa's name as Abraham Asa Webb Hill, and the error has been picked up and perpetuated since by subsequent researchers and authors. The newest edition of the book has corrected the error.) Asa was born 1784, Edgecombe Co., NC; married ELIZABETH BARKSDALE, daughter of Jeffery (who was in the Revolutionary War) and Phebe Barksdale, October 6, 1808 at Sparta, Hancock Co., GA; Lived in Jasper Co.,Hancock Co., & Muscogee Co., GA before 1834. He traveled to TX about 1834 with his son,

Wm. C.A.J. Hill and nephew, Isaac Lafayette Hill, moving his family to TX in 1835, settling in Washington Co., and later Fayette Co., TX. . . . . He died July 18, 1844, Rutersville, Fayette Co., TX. His remains were removed from their original Cedar Creek site in 1973 and reinterred in the old City Cemetery at La Grange. After Asa died, Elizabeth married longtime friend and neighbor, Alexander Thomson, Jr., May 28, 1850, Fayette Co., TX. Elizabeth was born Jan. 3, 1795, Troup Co., GA; died Jan. 23, 1883, Waelder, TX and is interred in the Waelder Cemetery.<<

There are conflicting marriage dates for Asa and Elizabeth. In notes by granddaughter Lucy Amanda Hill Jones (dau. of James Monroe Hill) written in 1936, she writes that Elizabeth "...was born Jan. 3, 1795. She was married to Asa Hill Oct. 3, 1811. Married the second time to Alexander Thomson May 28, 1850, by Rev. Orcenith Fisher, who also performed the ceremony at the marriage of James Monroe Hill and Jane Hallowell Kerr, Sept. 14, 1843.

From the manuscript, "The Descendants of Isaac Hill, Sr." by Lennon J. Hill & K. Marie Watson Hill, 1980-81, Lubbock, TX, pg. 60

"Asa Hill, Sr. married Elizabeth Barksdale on October 6, 1811, in Sparta, Hancock Co. She was born January 3, 1795. Her parents were Jeffrey Barksdale, soldier of the Revolutionary War, and Phebe Barksdale. The Barksdales were large landholders in Hancock County, GA. The 1820 census records shows that Asa and Elizabeth Hill resided in adjoining Putnam County, owning four slaves at that time."

(other sources show their marriage date as Oct. 6, 1808)

The Memorial & Genealogical Record of SW Texas, Goodspeed Bros. Pub., 1894, in the biography of her son, Jeffrey Barksdale Hill, pp. 394-395, has her death in 1891 at age 89 in Waelder, TX. Other sources have her dates as b. Jan. 3, 1795 and d. Jan. 23, 1883. However, her grave marker in Waelder, Texas says: born January 3, 1796, died January 23, 1883. (The gravestone has been repaired and the date of death is difficult to read, but it appears to be as stated) It is hard to know which is correct since errors were often made on markers as well as in published sources.

After Asa's death in 1844, Elizabeth married Alexander Thomson in 1850. After the death of her second husband she moved to the home of her son, Asa C. Hill, in Thompsonville, Gonzales Co. She lived with her daughter "Louisa" in later years and is buried in Waelder, TX next to her daughter. She died at age 88. The photo in file is estimated to have been taken when she was about 80, circa 1875.
