ROBERT HILL. retired farmer, P. O. Port Washington, was born in Salem Township May 3, 1817. He is a son of Jesse and Mary Hill, natives of Virginia, who emigrated to this township and county in 1806, and were thus among the earliest pioneers. Robert was the youngest of nine children, five of whom survive, and while yet a boy his parents died and he was thrown upon his own resources to struggle with the world. After completing his education. he began clerking in a dry goods store. continuing for twenty years. At first he received but $50 a year, but the salary was advanced until it reached $300. Mr. Hill then turned his attention to farming. He purchased a farm of 195 acres, and added to it until his possessions reached 620 acres. He still retains 550 acres of well improved land. He was married; October 12, 1844, to Catherine. daughter of Christian and Sarah Wise, of Coshocton County. She was born in that county April 5, 1820. To them have been born six children. of whom only two, Milton B. and William M., survive. The deceased are George D., Mattie E., Thomas and Alice A. Mr. and Mrs. Hill are members of the Methodist Church. Mr. Hill's life has been very successful. commencing with nothing, he has by his application and energy accumulated a goodly share of property.
