"My grandmother, Loreine Brushwood Hill, told me Jettie's middle name was Binford, although much of the time it was spelled Benford. His grandfather was Joshua Binford Hill, and Joshua's mother was Lydia P. Binford. The Binfords were a long line of Quakers from North Carolina, as was the Hill family, with Jettie's branch moving to Indiana in the early part of 1800s."
