Jerilyn's (added notes)

Thomas M. Hill
K 111 Illinois Infantry
Enrolled August 21, 1862 at Jeffersonville, Illinois for 3 years
Mustered in September 18, 1862 at Camp Marshall
Died at Columbus, Kentucky on January 26, 1863, of measles or died January 27, 1863
(Doris Bland's cemetery book X says January 27, 1862, but every page in this file says 1863.)

Thomas M. Hill married Susan Cumings on November 6, 1856, in Wayne Co by G. B. Galbraith, JP.  (She can sign her name)

Children:
Charles H. Hill born August 21, 1857
Edgar H. Hill born March 21, 1862.  Edgar died August 22, 1866.

Mother Susan died March 27, 1864, of consumption at the home of John G. Hill.
 

(Jerilyn's Notes - Thomas was born in Tennessee in April 2, 1834, according to family records, although cemetery says different.  His wife was born abt July 16, 1837.  I can't find this family in 1860 census, but I have several families missing in this census so either the pages were lost or the census taker didn't go down that road.)
 

Guardian pension certificate #61 110
John G. Hill was guardian of the children
(Jerilyn's  Note - he was their grandfather)
