           [587]

           JESSE HILL is a son of CHRISTOPHER and MOURNING (TRUEBLOOD)
        HILL, who were natives of North Carolina. In the year 1812, a short
        time prior to their marriage, they settled in Orange County, Ind.,
        where they spent the balance of their lives. They were among the
        prominent early settlers and belonged to the Quaker Church.  Of
        their family of nine children, JESSE HILL was the oldest, having
        been born January 23, 1815.  His education is such as the early
        country schools of his time afforded. Like his father, he has
        devoted his whole life to agricultural pursuits, with good success.
        ELIZABETH OSBORN became his wife November 23, 1837, and to this
        union nine children have been born, these six now living: CHARLES
        N., THOMAS E., WILLIAM O., HOMER, ELIZABETH (JONES) and EDMUND B.
        The death of MRS. HILL occurred February 7, 1881. She had long been
        a member of the Society of Friends, and to this same religion MR.
        HILL has always been a devout adherent. All of their children are
        members of the Quaker Church by birthright.  In early life MR. HILL
        was a Whig in politics, but in 1856 voted for the Republican candi-
        date for President, and since that time has been allied with that
        party, being a strong advocate for the abolition of slavery.
