Sam Hill was born in Natural Dam [Crawford County], Arkansas in 1852 to William M. Hill and Anna E. Burchfiel, both originally from Jefferson County, Tennessee. Sam's mother, Anna, died before 1857, perhaps earlier.
Sam and his father, stepmother, Margret/Peggy and 1/2 brother, William Benjamin "WB" Hill, continued to live in Natural Dam. Sam married Eliza Rector Babb and started a family. About 1881, the entire extended family moved to Katemcy, Mason County, Texas.
Sam "was a horseman and a trainer. He had a scar on his jaw, from his temple to his chin, as a result of being thrown from a horse. Because of this, he wore a full beard most of his adult life. His pride and joy was a team of black mules, considered to be of great value, which sold for $1,000 in the early 1900s."
About 2002, Mrs. Hurley, a Katemcy resident, replaced Sam's native sandstone grave stone, with a new one. She remembered knowing Sam Hill, from when she was a child and spoke about how nice Sam was to everyone and how he made the very best chili.
