Buried in Boughton Hill Cemetery, Victor, Ontario County, New York, USA

Notes by Margaret Gillett Atherton Lovina Lusk Hill is the ancestor through whose obituary I could prove my ancestry to a Revolutionary soldier and become a DAR member. A distant relative, Marjorie Lusk Harske, of Albion had lunch with we Gillett girls probably around 1967 and brought her material about the Lusk family which I Xeroxed and returned. I have a very complete chart of Ashael's children, grandchildren, etc., done about 1930 by Marjorie Lusk Harske's parents.

Ashael Lusk was a pioneer of Victor, New York. Lovina was born there on May 11, 1801. Later, someone started buying nearby property and adding acres every year. Finally, this someone, Gregory Hill, built a cabin and married Lovina on January 26, 1822. They had eight children, of whom Sophia Josephine was the second (and first daughter). Lovina died on October 19, 1872, and Gregory a year later. They built a lovely, large farmhouse across the road in about 1830 or 1840, and we Gillett girls went through a small portion on a trip in 1976 and took pictures of the cobblestone wellhouse and pump.
