Question

I have no dates for John Hilliard and Catherine. The only date I have is of their daugther Rebecca hilliard (1876-1949) I'm also unsure of the spelling of the name. I've seen it spelled Hillard, and Hilliard. I'd love to find both their parents, siblings, children etc and possibly a picture of both. Hoping you can help. I've been looking forever. Thanks in advance.

Here is what I have been able to find of your Rebecca in the censuses.  

From the 1880 census, it appears that there is a sister in law who is 17 living in his household who bears the last name of Clark. Her parents were born in the same place as Catherine's suggesting that they were sisters.
