Tennessee Records: Tombstone Inscriptions and Manuscripts (1933)
*********
Jonathan Hill was born in Warren county, Tennessee, and was a farmer of that state. He was on detail for the Confederacy during the war between the North and the South, and had two brothers in that service. He also had a brother killed at the battle of Monterey, Mexico, during our war with that country, and another brother died on the gulf while returning from that war. The family has ever been lined up with the Democratic party, and Jonathan Hill had two uncles who helped frame the constitution of Tennessee. One of them, H. L. W. Hill, went to Congress, and another brother, George W. Hill, after whom Hill county, Texas, was named, served as secretary of war under President Houston, was one of the congressmen of the Texas Republic, subsequently returned to his medical practice in Navarro county, and died in the vicinity of Dawson in 1859 without issue.
