Daughter of Henry and Elizabeth (Perry) Vick. Married to William J Hill on 19 May 1861 in Pope Co.

I am placing her date of death in 1893, because the first guardianship for her minor sons, Richard and Charley Hill, was granted to James Littleton Burris on 1 May 1893 in Pope Co. After James' death in 29 Aug 1895, George W Burris Sr was granted letters of guardianship of Richard and Charley Hill, minors, in the matter of the estate of Mrs. M J Hill, deceased, on 29 Oct 1895. The letters were filed in the Pope Co. Probate Court.

Over the next six years, George Burris served as guardian for Richard and Charley Hill, managing Martha's estate and filing periodic reports, until the matter was discharged during the April 1901 session of the Court, with final accounting submitted 8 Jan 1901, and approved 8 March 1901.

Richard Hill was no longer a minor, and the Court removed Charley's disability as a minor (he was 18 years old, according to Court records), so both inherited the remainder of their mother's estate.

One of her sons, James L Hill, is buried in the same cemetery. Her son, Ervin Burris is buried in Wagoner Co., OK.

Martha is buried next to Charlie L Hill, and the grave is not marked well.
