Note: Source: Jan Hall: From a genealogy of the Hill family, c. 1926, by Jno. Hill of Los Angeles, CA: He accompanied his parents to East Tennessee in 1794, and lived there 4 years, then went with them to Kentucky in 1798 where they located near Somerset, Pulaski County. On July 17, 1806, he married Delila Cooper, daughter of Malachi Cooper, a Baptist minister in Kentucky. In 1837 John Hill was ordained as a Baptist Minister and a few years after his marriage he moved to Montgomery County, Alabama where he remained Several years engaging to a considerable extent in preaching. He made a visit to his father's family in Jenning County, Indiana and purchased a farm there and brought his family up from Alabama. He was a man of good preaching ability, unblemished Christian character and fine social qualities. Hes services were in great demand and well appreciated by both the Church and the community. John Hill died April 6, 1852 at the age of 65 years. His wife died in 1847. Both are buried in Sugar Creek Cemetery near the old homestead, Clinton County, Indiana. After the death of his wife, John Hill married a second time. The maiden name of the second wife is not known but after John Hill's death she also contracted a second marriage to Thomas Rowland and resided at North Vernon, Indiana, until her death. No children were born of John Hill's second marriage. Not long after his ordination in August of 1837, he moved to Clinton County, Indiana and located there permanently. Please note: this is a working copy, it probably contains many discrepancies;]...consider this a Draft copy. Jan "He had at one time lived in Alabama and later moved his family to Indians, purchasing a farm in Clinton County; this brought the two pairs of cousins together just as they were reaching young manhood and young womanhood and a very interesting romance evidently developed, resulting in the marriages of Isaac P. Hill/Margaret Hill in 1837 and their siblings, John Hill and Mary Hill in 1839. Because of their previous residence in the South, it resulted in the migration of both young couples to Texas, where they continued to live permanently."
