Notes |
- Thomas Padfield was married at Carlyle to Temperance Hill, daughter of Major Isaac Hill. She was born in Georgia. Her father, Major Hill, was in the war of 1812, and during that campaign commanded a fort near Greenville, in Bond county. This is the fort near which Tom. Higgins had his celebrated fight with the Indians, and Mr. (W.R.) Padfield's mother was in the fort at the time of the encounter, which was in plain view of the garrison. Major Hill also served in the Black Hawk War.
