(According to family lore, it was Jameson prior to that) The Hemphills or "Hemphillers" as they were known, were named after their trade. They grew hemp for the weaving of fishing nets and other materials. However, their methods were unique. The Hemphill's grew the hemp on the side of a hill. It became our name, Hemphill, because of this. Surnames: Hemphill, Jameson, Submitted by: Melissa Hemphill-Guajardo 11/9/2009 8:56 AM Page 1 of 1
