Do you know of Hilliardsville ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Hilliardsville. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Hilliardsville.<1>

Our sources for Hilliardsville (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Hilliardsville other than they indicate that Hilliardsville would be found somewhere in Henry County, Alabama.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1850 and closed  in 1907.
