It's very interesting to see the names, and comments of some of the people in this guest book. I figure I'm related to a few, though we've never met. I know my dad went to some of the Hill family reunions, but I never did because we moved to Utah when I was a kid. It's been years since I've been there, but it is a beautiful place. It's also interesting to see generations of my family in the cemetery, especially since none are buried in Utah. Thanks for putting up this site.

Very nice web site. Planning on moving to WV soon. Been considering Summersville or Webster Springs. Better visit your charming town before we decide. Looking for the right place to start a couple of small businesses.

I have been wanting to visit your area for years and hope to check it out in the Spring on a way South.

I am the 5th great granddaughter of James and Elizabeth Callison, whose 1765 log cabin still exists out on Callison Rd. I passed through Hillsboro ever so briefly this past Oct. while vacationing in VA and hope to return next year with my family for the Heritage Fair.

Hello from Coiorado. Thank you very much for the detailed information on the McNeil and Hill Families. My Grandma, Zella Hill took us grandkids to the Hill reunion as a kid in the 60's. I hope to make it back some day.

My wife and I spent a few days at Watoga State Park and did some driving around and we came across Hillsboro. Beautiful town!!! So beautiful, we rented a house there and are looking forward to spending our Summers & part of Fall in Hillsboro. We will be renting all year around though. We need a place where we can just sit and watch the traffic go by and maybe do some fishing, boating and reading.

My Grandfather's father, Lincoln Cochran, was once the Sheriff of Pocohontas County. Sadly, he died of an automobile accident. He resided in Hillsboro, where my granfather now resides, on the same property.

Wow, I feel like making a pilgrimage to my roots! My dad was Randall C. Hill. His mom was Fredda and her parents were Fred & Nellie Hill. We're also kin to the Kinnisons, McNeil (Mcneel, macNeil, etc...), Walkers and a bunch other names from the area. My mom, Barbara (Marshall) Hill was from Virginia and did a lot of geneology for us before she passed away. She said one of our ancestors was named John McNeil and according to family lore, married a Native American named Nasippa (or some such spelling). She said she was Chickasaw. Anyone know if this may be the case? Maybe it was a McNeil from her side of the tree. I'm not sure. Anyway, I plan to come up the mountain and kick around some day. Great site! Keep adding to it, especially more history! With respect, Brian Randall Hill unklbubba@gmail.com

I am a descendant of Samuel Gilliland, who settled in the Little Levels before 1800. I was very pleased to find your web site and look forward to visiting the area soon.

My grandparents, Homer P. & Annie (Young) Hill moved to York, Co PA from Pocahontas Co. WV. My parents took us to the old homestead when I was a child. I hope to go back someday and visit the area. If the Hill Reunion still exists, I would love to visit with distant relatives. The website is quite interesting. Thank you.

I would love to visit the place of a number of my ancestors. Kennison, McNeel, Day, Hughes, Hannah, and huge number of others in which I could call Hillsboro and Pocahontas County home.

Watch for the opening of The Briar Patch and Estate Antiques in the summer of 2010. Until then, stop in to see Andrew Must, Caleb Diller, Harley Squires, David Kershner, and Clay Condon ~ all part of the renovation crew over the past year.

My Hometown!!! Grew up in this small quaint town. While attending WVU I realized how awesome Hillsboro (Pocahontas Co) really was. A place where people come to vacation and retire and I was blessed to grow up here. Our weekends and summers were not running to the mall instead it was camping in the Cranberry Glades, conoeing or biking along the Greenbrier river or visiting a park or battle field. Most of my famiy is still in Hillsboro or Pocahontas. We are a military family and have lived many places but there is no place like home. We plan to move back and retire. What a wonderful place.

Hope to be visiting Hillsboro mid 2010 to volunteer for my hero Hunter 'Patch' Adams. I'm an Aussie who lives in the capital city of South Australia, Adelaide. I just need to save a little more & get a little more organized before starting out on my big trip. Looking forward to meeting you all soon...until then, Peace on Earth.

Hillsboro is the most beautiful place I've ever seen. I look forward to visiting this summer and spending time researching the McNeil family.
