Historical Commission To Meet At Hill County Pioneer Home The Hill County Historical Commission will meet at 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 25, at the Hill County pioneer home of Drs. Jerry and Jana Burch in Brandon. In addition to regular business, members will hear a program on the home, located at 992 FM 1243. The home s history began in 1846, when Elisha Smith Wyman, a native of Maine who was recently affiliated with the United States Army, arrived in present-day Hill County with a 640-acre land grant from the State of Texas. The Wymans built a dog-trot cabin on the Old Government Road. This home still stands proudly as the oldest structure in Hill County and the home of Drs. Jerry and Jana Burch.
