Hill; and I will give his own words in reply to my request : My grandparents moved from Kentucky to Illinois in the Fall of 1832 and settled on a farm three miles south of Salem. They brought with them a large family, the youngest of whom was Parthena, a girl of sixteen. Hill was twice as old as my aunt, but he became infatuated with her at once, and after a courtship lasting until July 28, 1835, he was married to my aunt at my grandfather's. I own the farm now, it never having passed out of th...e Nance family. Hill was a successful merchant but had a peculiar temper. It was such that he could not drive the team when he took his wife out for a drive. His wife sat on the front seat and drove the horses while Hill sat on the back seat. Mrs. Hill was a balanced woman; she had common sense; — I mean she had good sense about ordinary things. She was tactful; she could manage the team and her husband, and would not get into trouble with either. Mr. Hill appreciated her splendid qualities and if anyone dropped a remark about a place or thing that could be construed into a criticism of his wife he would fight his weight in wild cats about it.
