Surname Saturday- Hill

My 6th great grandmother was:
 Deidamia Mendenhall ('nee Hill)

b. 1775 in Guilford County, North Carolina
d. 05 Jun 1838 in Bethel Township, Miami, Ohio

Deidamia married Joseph Mendenhall (1770-1833) and they had 14 children!

Her parents were Thomas Hill (1740-1798) &
                             Elizabeth McClellan (1735-1798)

Deidamia's 3x great grandfather- Abraham Hill (1615-1670) immigrated to America from Bedfordshire, England.

I found this crest on Google--- I'm not sure what the top word says-- but this does resemble the "Hill" English family crest.

While reviewing "Hill" in ancestry.com, I found something interesting--- 

All UK, RMS Titanic, Crew Records, 1912:

Name/Gender/Birth Year/Birth Place/Class

J Hill/ Male/ abt 1874/ Hampshire
H P Hill/ Male/ abt 1876/ Liverpool
J Hill/ Male/ abt 1887/ London
H/Hill
H P Hill
J Hill
J Hill


I'm assuming since these were mostly/all male, most likely, none of these men survived the sinking.


I did a Google search for Titanic passengers and there were some "Hills" lost on the Titanic: some could be duplicates listed above:

Mr. H.P. Hill- age 36- Victualling Crew- Steward
Mr. James Hill- age 25- Engineering Crew- Trimmer
Mr. James Colston Hill- age 38- Victualling Crew- 1st class bedroom steward
