Elijah Allen 'Lige' Hill was the eldest child of the nine children of Lucinda 'Parolee' Godwin Hill and husband James A. They came to Comanche TX from near Bolivar TN.
According to Ruth Godwin Gadbury's GODWIN-HILL AND RELATED FAMILIES, 1980: Coming from Tennessee with the Hill's was a Stephen Hickman, 1825-1906, who had considerable money. He lived with the Hills, remained single, and died leaving his money to some nieces and nephews and the Elijah A. Hill family, except for $500 designated for his grave monument, 4 cypress cedars, and a fence around it all. The money left the Hill family caused considerable friction among the children and in-laws.
This money, with close management on Lige Hill's part, made it possible for him to loan his children and other kin money to finance homes and farming operations. [Ruth Godwin Gadbury]
This family lived next door to the James Dudley family which was mentioned as party givers in a letter to Nollie Hill from Pearl Aldridge in 1904-01-23. [pjsw, 2007]
