Clarissa Holloway Hill moved to Henry County, Kentucky (via Fayette County) from Caroline County, Virginia in the 1820s with her children, Henry Hill, George Littlewood Hill, and William L. Hill. A daughter, Anne Clarissa Hill had already married William Pickett in Fayette County, Kentucky and Elizabeth Hill had already married John Sharp. Elizbeth died in 1825 in Clark County, Kentucky. Clarissa moved to Henry County following some Holloway nephews shortly after Elizabeth’s death.

Samuel gave Clarissa the right to use the assets of his estate for her life.  When Clarissa first moved to Henry County, Kentucky, she bought four hundred acres with the proceeds from his estate.  The land was purchased in the name of her children. 

The map below, published in the Atlas of Henry & Shelby Co’s Kentucky by D.J. Lake Co, 1882, show’s the land that Clarissa bought. Amanda S. Hill was the surviving spouse of Clarissa’s youngest son, William L. Hill. “C. M. Hill” was Clay Meal Hill, one of William’s son’s. “R. Tidrick” was Richard Tedrick, William L. Hill’s son-in-law the husband of his daughter, Elizabeth Arminta Hill Tedrick.

The frame house pictured below was the home of Horace William Hill, son of William L. and Amanda Walker Hill. It may the original Hill house in Henry County, Kentucky and is probably the house indicated as “Amanda S. Hill Res” on the map. The above house burned in the 1920s and was replaced by a smaller frame house which also burned.  All of Horace William Hill’s children were born in the above house.  His oldest great-grandchild, Irene Monfort was also born there.
