The estate of Ebenezer Hill identifies some of these same people as legatees. For example, Edmond Cartledge and wife received 1/2 of the estate, equal to $270.04. The eight daughters or their marital communities each got 1/8 of the remaining half of his estate:

Nancy Cox
Thomas Tally and his wife Elizabeth
John L Kilcrease and his wife Susan
Millington Blalock and his wife
James Tompkins and his wife
Robert Jennings and his wife
Mary Lovelass
Harriet Granton
*rec't dated 9 Jul 1839
