Hello, These are not my relatives, but I thought someone might like to have the history for their records. It came from the: "1892 Portrait & Biographical Album of Genesee, Lapeer & Tuscola Counties, Chapman Bros", in Michigan. Hope it helps someone. Colleen myscolleen@hotmail.com LYMAN E. HILL, who is a representative of one of the finest families of Davison Township, Genesee County, was born in Genesee County, N.Y., July 17, 1843. He is a son of Joseph HILL, a sketch of whom will be found elsewhere in this volume and a brother of Philip and Israel HILL, of whom our readers will also learn more upon another page. He has hewn his farm out of the dense forest and deserves great credit for its development, and at the same time has not neglected the higher interests of the community and has stood shoulder to shoulder with the men who have been working for the progress of the township. Mr. HILL was three years old when his parents came to this county and his education was in the log schoolhouse.He enlisted December 20, 1864 in Company K, Thirtieth Michigan Infantry under Col. WERMER, of Detroit. The regiment was raised for State duty, as a raid from Canada was at that time expected, and the different companies were stationed at Detroit, Port Huron and Jackson, Company K being on garrison duty at Jackson. On June 16, 1865 the young man was mustered out of service at Jackson, Mich., and returning home engaged in farming. He purchased his farm on section 21, and began chopping and clearing away the timber and later added further land to his farm. He was married in June, 1866, to Harriet A. KNAPP, of New York. Her parents had removed to Oakland County, this State from New York many years before, and both have since died. She passed from earth in June 1881, leaving five children, namely; May, Newell, Sarah, Alma, and Orin. The present Mrs. HILL was united with our subject in marriage in 1883. Her name was Mary J. CLARK nee ELSWORTH, and she was born in Ashtabula, Ohio. Both she and Mr. HILL are earnest and devoted members of the Free Will Baptist Church. The political views which are endorsed by the judgment of our subject are those which are expressed by the declarations of the Republican party, and he is an active member of the Grand Army of the Republic and also of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. On his fine farm of one hundred acres which he has mostly cleared himself, he raises all kinds of live stock. He started with limited means and has now gained a handsome property and has built for his family a pleasant home.
