They moved to Manitoba, Canada shortly after they were wed. Robert and Caroline had 2 children together: Robert William and Elizabeth Roberta (they were twins and both were born in Manitoba). His first wife, Caroline, died shortly after giving birth to their twins. Robert moved to Michigan in about 1860-1861 and then, in approx 1868-1869, Robert and his children left Michigan and moved to Kansas. On 15 Sep 1869, Robert filed for his homestead at the land office in Topeka. It was 80 acres at the present day SE corner of 181st/Crawford (West half, NW Qtr, Section 24, Dragoon Township 15, District 98, South Range 13) in Osage County. He was granted his homestead on 10 Feb 1876. It was Superior Township at the time, but in about 1872 Dragoon was created. On 5 June 1880, Robert married Harriet Mary Rall in Burlingame, Kansas. Harriet's parents died when she was just over 3 years old. She moved to Waterloo Township, Lyon County, Kansas with her uncle/aunt, Charles & Catherine Bostwick Mundy, when she was still a teenager (in 1876). Robert and Hattie had 9 children together (5 born in Dragoon Township {John, James, Sarah, Grace and Robert Jr} and 2 {Hannah & Roland} born in rural Virden, Manitoba, Canada). 2 twins died at birth in Kansas and Roland died as a baby in Canada. By 1885, Robert and Hattie had 15 implements, 320 rods of fencing, 25 acres of corn, rented 90 acres of prairie hay (in addition to their own 80 acres), put up 40 tons of prairie hay, processed 100 lbs of butter, had 4 horses, 6 milk cows, 32 other cattle, 14 hogs, 7 apple trees, 3 peach trees, and 2 dogs. Robert and Hattie's original home no longer stands, but there is a small pile of rocks on the south side of the fence line at the top of the hill that marks the location. In late 1895, Robert and Hattie and family moved to the Woodnorth district in RM of Pipestone (Township 9, Range 27W, NW 1/4 of Section 32), which is SW of Virden, Manitoba. They sold their 80 acre Kansas homestead to Daniel Masters for $1,300 and traveled by train from Burlingame to Canada. Their eldest son, John, had just turned 14 when they moved. Robert Hill and 3 of his children (James, Grace, and Sarah) would never return to Kansas. In 1906, Robert's 2 oldest sons, John and James, had both moved out and were farming in the RM of Pipestone (Township 9, Range 27W, SE 1/4 of Section 32) Robert died in the home in the rural Wallace district just NE of Virden (Township 10, Range 26W, NE 1/4 of Section 24) He had 160 acres at the time of his death. His daughter, Sarah, was his primary heir. He is buried in Plot 2, Lot 3, Block 1, Virden Cemetery, Virden, Brandon, Manitoba. He owns the plot next to him, but its contents have yet to be verified (as of 2017). http://hillfamilykansas.tribalpages.com/
