    Spouse Birth 1801 SC
    no marriage date reported

    After Richard Hill's death in 1848, Nancy continued heading the family and running their farm.  In 1850, Nancy Hill is already a widow with 6 sons at home.  There is a gravestone presented as hers and her husband Richard's, but it reprots the date of death as 23 December 1854.  But the censuses below seems definitely to be the same Nancy Sanders Hill who was the wife of Richard Hill, and she is reported through the 1880 census, with the proper age, birth state and family members.

    1850 Federal Census, Murray County, Georgia, 2 September, page 40, Hse/Fam #276
    Nancy S Hill wid 43 F $4000 Real Estate born SC

    William N Hill 12 M born GA
    Marion W Hill 10 M born GA
    James F Hill 7 M born GA
    John H Hill 6 M born GA

    The name afer Alexander is very odd here.  The age and position match Marcus Gustavus (Augustus in one census).  How did the enumerator get Matthew E from that?

    In 1860 all Nancy's children are still at home, working the family farm.
