Minnie A. Hill began her tenure at the National Freedman's Relief Association in 1865, receiving her initial commission to serve as a teacher in Petersburg Va. It appears she previously taught at a school in Norfolk Va. In 1866 the Freedman's Union Commission reappointed Hill to another one year term. In 1867 the Commission appointed Hill as principal of a school on Pocahontas Island in Petersburg Va., where she served until at least 1869.
