Hill Verner was my 3rd great grandfather. I have lots of information
that I would be happy to share on he, his three wives, and ten children, as
well as his ancestors and siblings. Here is a brief outline of his
marriages and children.
James Hill Verner was the son of Caleb Verner and Jane O. Hill. He was born
August 10, 1828 in Anderson Co., South Carolina, and moved to Monroe County,
Mississippi with his parents before 1840. He married Penninah Taylor
Lambeth on January 20, 1852 in Monroe County, Mississippi. They had four
children before Peninnah died in 1864 - John Henry Verner, Susanna Jane
Verner, William Taylor Verner, and Charles Verner.
After the death of Penninah, James Hill Verner married Nancy Ellen Cast, who
had previously been married to an unknown Harris. According to census
records Nancy Ellen Cast had one child by her first marriage, John Harris,
born about 1861 in Alabama. James Hill Verner and Nancy Ellen Cast married
in Monroe County, Mississippi on May 8, 1866. They had two children
together - Thomas Franklin Verner and Lee Ellen Verner. About 1869, James
Hill Verner and Nancy Ellen Cast traveled to Texas with a group that
included James Hill's brother, Thomas Turpin Verner, and several of their
Verner cousins. James Hill Verner and his brother settled in Hopkins
County, Texas. Nancy Ellen Cast died between 1870-1873.
James Hill Verner married Martha Clementine Deloach on November 15, 1873 in
Delta County, Texas. Before 1880, they moved their family to Wise County.
James Hill Verner and Martha Clementine Deloach had four children - Ida Mae
Verner, Isalena Verner, Mattison P. Verner, and Albert Fletcher Verner.
James Hill died April 2, 1899 and is buried at Thomas Cemetery. Martha
Clementine Deloach died October 4, 1905 and is also buried at Thomas
Cemetery.
