Could someone trace my family tree?

I'm looking to see where my great grandma's ancestors were originally from. Her name was Margaret Etta Surrett (pronounced Sarratt) and she was born and lived in North Carolina. She was married to Robert Lee Hilliard. Could someone possibly trace my ancestry??

1. Do you have any dates for them? The only Robert and Margaret Hilliard I can find lived in OH.

His first wife was Dorsey Hall, who died sometime between 1897-99.
