Biography

Martha DeLoach was born about 1704 in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. She was the daughter of William DeLoach and Eleanor Collins.

She married Harmon Hill about 25 Mar 1746 in Brunswick, Virginia.^[1]

She was named in the will of her father:
The will of William DeLoach of Brunswick County, Va., dated 25 March 1745 and proved on 3 March 1747, is recorded in Brunswick County Will Book 2, page 140. By this will he disposed of his estate in the following manner. To his wife Eleanor he gave 500 acres of land (the planta- tion whereon I now live together with the lands thereunto belonging) for the term of her natural life, two female negroes to be at her own disposing, and a negro boy during the term of her natural life. To his son Francis he gave the 500 acres of land and the negro boy which were given first to Eleanor during the term of her natural life, 400 acres of land on the south side of Wild Catt Swamp in Northampton (formerly Bertie) County, N.C., and four negroes. To his daughter Martha (wife of Harmon Hill) two negroes and a chest with key thereto. To his daughter Anne (wife of William Hill) three negroes, two cows, and two calves. To his granddaughter Cela Hill (daughter of William and Anne Hill) one cow and calf. To his son William two negroes. -- In times past he had "already given William lands and negroes equal in value or surmounting the value of" what in his will was bequeathed to any one of his other children.

She died some time between 1747 and September of 1748 when her mother made her will.
