JAMES HILL, residing at "Walnut
Hill" farm, is a son of the late Robert Hill, who
came from Pennsylvania to this county in 1806 and died
in 1845. The old gentleman located on the farm at
present occupied by our subject, and conducted by his
son. Our subject is a native of Jefferson county,
was born in 1809, and succeeded to the old farmstead and
still resides there. Our subject was married in
1838 to Maria, daughter of Benjamin Kneff,
of Mingo Bottom, who came here about 1811, from Franklin
county, Pa. Their son, Benjamin, at present
residing at home, takes charge of the farm; while they
have an accomplished daughter, Miss Rose Hill,
who also lives at home, though they had a larger family
of whom the balance are scattered. The late
Joseph W. Hill, brother to our subject, born 1817,
and who died in 1877, was married to Miss Mary Ann
Sherrard, and who died in 1877, was married to
Miss Mary Ann Sherrard, and resided adjoining the
old family farmstead, where his widow still lives.
A sister of our subject, born in 1799, and who came here
with her father in 1806, was married in 1817 to James
S. Irwin, who died in 1850, and the old lady still
lives hale and hearty, having had a family of sixteen
children, and never experienced a day's sickness in her
life beyond such incidental to her increasing family.
Mr. James Hill's farm is one of the most
desirable and well cultivated in the county, and
presents all the attractions of the most desirable
country residence.
