  Notes	There is a notation in "Cemetery Records of Rockingham and Stokes Counties, North Carolina Volume III" showing Pvt. Thomas Hill (1815) of the NC Troops, Confederate States Army is buried in the County Home Cemetery. This cemetery is located in Meadows township on County Home Rd. #1706 off Hwy 89 near Danbury. (July 28, 1998- Ralph and I visited this area and found County Home Road. The old County Home is not standing, and the site is not marked. The county librarians did not know the exact location of the cemetery, and we were not able to find it the day we visited.) The librarians stated to me that the County Home was "like a rest home for folks who could not be cared for at home. "There is a story passed down by the descendants of William Snider Hill, Thomas' son, that Thomas and Louisa were living apart because they were having a hard time financially. Thomas was living with William and Janey, and Louisa was living with one of their children nearby. Thomas was taking coffee to Louisa one day when he collapsed on the road. He didn't have any identification when he was found, so he was taken to the county home where he died. The sad thing is that he was always afraid he would die in the poor house. - Pamela Hill Smith
