Read The Full Bio
The name H. Hill appears on page 52 or the army rolls in the General Land Office as having enlisted in Captain William D. Ratcliff's Company of San Augustine Volunteers April 1, 1836. While on the march to join the main army a disagreement arose between Captain Ratcliff and some of his men which culminated in the resignation of Captain Ratcliff and the election of Leonard H. Mabbitt as Captain. Some of the volunteers continued the march toward the main army unattached. Captain Ratcliff, Philip Walker and others reached the San Jacinto battlefield on April 22nd, but Mr. Hill evidently arrived there in time to participate in the battle.
Mr. Hill's name does not appear on page 47 of the army rolls as a member of Captain Mabbitt's Company May 9, 1836. He did not apply for any land due him for his services in the army.
