Thank you for your assistance.

Sometimes in the past, there were different spellings of places that were recognized by the people of that time. For example "Spottsylvania" (old) versus "Spotsylvania" (current). Some records I have found related to Hilliby/Hillabee have both spellings, and I wanted to know what was preferred in the 1860s. . . or perhaps it could be that some of the men just spelled it like it sounded.
