Isaac died in West Grove Twp., Davis Co. from consumption. *** HILL, ISAAC, farmer and stock dealer; post office, Bloomfield; is a native of Shelby county, Indiana; born December 4, 1848. When two years old his parents came to this county, lived here about a year, then returned to Indiana, where his father died, in 1851. Two years after, he, with his mother, returned to Davis county. At the age of ten he started in life for himself, and from that time since has "paddled his own canoe." He has lived in Illinois, Nebraska, Kansas, Indiana and Iowa. In June, 1880, he settled in his present business. He was married in Indiana, in 1871, to Miss Susan Davidson, a native of Indiana, and they have had four children: Cora F., Lorana, Ninia M., and Della E, deceased at the age of two years and eight months. Mr. H is a member of the Baptist Church. Source: "History of Davis County, Iowa, Containing a History of the County, its Cities, its Towns, etc." Des Moines: State Historical Company. 1882. p. 621 - see here. * Unknown newspaper and date: Isaac Hill was born Dec. 4th, 1848 and died April 9th, 1894, aged 45 years, 4 months and 5 days. Mr. Hill was married to Miss Sue A. Davison, Jun the 8th, 1871, and of this union nine children were born, seven of which survive him, three boys and four girls. Brother Isaac Hill first united with the "Bethel" Baptist church in Johnson county, Indiana, in 1870 but afterwards removed his membership to what is known as the Fox River church of Primative Baptists, near West Grove, Iowa, where he continued his membership to the time of his death. Mr. Hill's father, Abraham Hill, was one of the pioneer settlers of Davis county, having moved here from Shelby county, Indiana, but returned to his native state on a visit, where he sickened and died leaving two sons, John, a prosperous farmer and stock raiser of Shelby county, Indiana and the subject of this sketch. Isaac Hill was a man whom his neighbors loved for his many traits (illegible) character and he will be missed from the community in which he lived. During the past ten years he has been very successful in business transactions and leaves his family a good well stocked farm. * Isaac's parents, Abraham and Nancy White Hill, were married January 7, 1848 (see here). They can be found in the 1850 Census in Shelby Co., IN. Abraham was the son of Isaac Hill and Juliann Higgins. The elder Isaac Hill was born about 1807 died in 1845 and his wife, Juliann Higgins, was born about 1805 and died in 1848. After the death of Abraham, Juliann married Samuel Fitzrandolph Hill, presumed to be a cousin of her deceased husband, on October 4, 1846 in Shelby Co (see here). Samuel passed away in 1854. Nancy White was born in 1833 in Shelby Co., IN, the daughter of John and Margaret White. Nancy's father died in 1838 and her mother later married John Williams in 1848. Her mother would pass away in 1875. Isaac had a brother, John, born about 1850-51 in Shelby Co. Abraham and Nancy were apparently among the first settlers of Davis Co., IA, having sold their land in Shelby Co. and moved to Iowa by about 1851. On a trip to Indiana, Abraham became ill and passed away in 1852. Abraham's brother, William, was also among the first settlers in Davis Co. After Abraham's death, Nancy married Nicholas Wheeler (is this him?), son of Samuel Wheeler and Malinda Davenport, on August 30, 1853 in Shelby Co. They had at least three children: Willis/William (b. abt. 1854 in IA or IN), Samuel (b. abt. 1856 in IN) and Margaret Jane (b. abt. 1859 in IN; m. James Mellott; m. George Crumrine; m. Philip Darr 1/7/1924 in Council Bluffs, IA). Nicholas and Nancy lived in Iowa at some point in the 1850s before returning to Shelby Co. by the 1860 Census. Nicholas died April 15, 1864, possibly in Altoona, IA (see here). Nancy married George Walter Long in Shelby Co. on September 3, 1868. George had previously married Melinda Main on August 6, 1846 in Shelby Co - see here. Malinda died in 1867 and is buried in Shelby Co. George and Melinda had these known children: Mary, Sarah, Laura, Georgeanna. They can be found in Shelbyville in the 1850 Census and the First Ward of Shelbyville in the 1860 Census. George and Nancy White Hill Wheeler had at least two children: Julia M (b. abt. 1871 in IN, m. Sylvanis Parkhurst on 7/22/1888 in Hamilton Co., NE) and George Walter (b. abt. 1873 in IN). The family was in Dawson Co., NE for the 1880 Census and 1885 Census. George Sr. is listed in the 1900 Census (as married), but Nancy is not listed. It is not known when George Sr and Nancy died, or where they're buried. (Possibly) also in Dawson Co, NE in the 1880 Census, is George's daughter from his first marriage, Margaret Jane Mellott/Malcott, and her family. If that is her, then her first husband (James B) had children from a prior marriage. They may have had another child or two. She then may have married George Crumrine (is this and this his death?), a widower who came from Iowa in 1872 on a soldier's homestead (see pgs 359 & 388) here, in 1881. He had children from his first marriage and they may have had more based on dates in the 1900 and 1910 Censuses. Margaret would later marry Philip Darr on January 7, 1924, in Council Bluffs, IA. He may have died in 1928 and there is a (widow) Jane Darr in the 1930 Census in Hall Co, NE. This could be George Crumrine's son, Joseph, and this could be his and Margaret Jane's daughter, Ida. Also listed in the 1900 Census with George Sr. are a daughter from his first marriage, Bell Long Demarest, two granddaughters (Maud & Irma Carpenter), and his son, George Jr. Bell married Fred Carpenter (b. in IL according to 1885 Census & WI according to 1900 Census) on March 18, 1880 in Dawson Co., NE. Fred, Belle, Maude and Fannie can be found in Dawson Co. in the 1885 Census. This could be a marriage record for Maude Carpenter. This might be Maude's memorial. * Isaac Hill can be found in the 1870 Census in Bloomfield, IA as a "clerk in a dry goods store." His listing in the Census appears immediately following that of his uncle William's family, and since William operated stores in Bloomfield it is possible that Isaac was working for his uncle. * The 1885 Census shows Isaac and family living in the NW SE of Section 26, Township 69, Range 14 (in Cleveland Twp). An 1891 atlas of Davis County (see here) shows that land being owned by Isaac's uncle, William. * 1850 Census: Jackson Twp, Shelby Co, IN 1860 Census: ?
