           JAMES A. HILL was born in this township February 28, 1838, and
        is one of nine children of JESSE and LYDIA (MILLIS) HILL, and
        a grandson of WILLIAM HILL, who came to this county from North
        Carolina at a very early day. The latter raised a large family,
        the oldest being JESSE, who was born in North Carolina.  JESSE was
        a farmer, but learned black smithing, at which he also worked. He
        was a man of good heart and brain, though his education was
        limited.  JAMES A. was the fourth in his father's family, and was
        meagerly educated at the old subscription schools.  He selected
        farming as his life occupation, and has steadily amassed property,
        until he now owns 240) acres of land.  May 20, 1858, he married
        ELIZABETH R. WEBB, who has borne him seven children: LYDIA, ENOCH,
        HENRY, JOHN, MARY, MARIA and SARAH.  September 13, 1872, MRS. HILL
        died, and April 6, 1873, he married MIRIAM GILLUM, who bore him
        four children: JAMES, BARBARA ELLEN, HETTIE and WILLIAM. His second
        wife died March 9, 1883, and February 27, 1884, he married EMMA
        ROBBINS.  MR. HILL is a member of the Society of Friends, is a
        Republican, and for several years was Superintendent of the County
        Poor Asylum.  He is prominent and well respected.
