• Notes

  MD Nash has his name as HILLS, V de Kock has HILL Charles and Elizabeth Hill, part of the Mills party, settled on what was believed to belong to Piet Retief at one time but was farmed as Grape Vale where the five children, James, Jane, Elizabeth, Charles and Henry grew up. Charles Hill, a gardener apparently at Hampton Court, was respected as having grown the finest nursery of fruit trees in the Cape. Today the farm is known as Mosslands. As far as I know, Henry Hill lived at Providence and Thomas Mills who married Elizabeth Hill lived at Pleasant Prospect. - Paxie Kelsey. Had land in Kariega called Grape Vale. Part of the Mills Party. Might have been born in 1782. Charles was employed Gardener before 1820 in Hampton Court, England. He arrived with Mills' Party aboard 'Sir George Osborn' Jul 1820 in Algoa Bay, Cape Colony. The Mills' party were settled on the Kariega River. However, the party soon broke up and Charles Hills was the only member to remain on the location. http://www.dembskey.org/112.htm
