Misc. Notes
There is a Jonathan Hill listed in the Rev War rolls in 1780 for Bennington Co, VT. Later in 1783 a Zimri Hill is listed in the rolls with many of the same people who are listed with Jonathan in 1780 & also a Joshua Carpenter. Zimri is listed in 1790 in Chittenden Co, VT as also is Jonathan.
Jonathan bought 50 acres of lakefront property from (General) Ethan Allen in Georgia Township on 5 July 1788. He mortgaged and repurchased 15 acres the next year to David Campbell, then sold half the land to Reuben Hurlbut.
1790 census for Georgia, Chittenden Co, VT (Franklin Co came from Chittenden) lists Jonathan Hill:
2 males > 16, 4 males < 16, 2 females. Next to him is listed Elizabeth Hill 2 females. Could this be Jonathan’s Mother?
1800 census lists him with Reuben and Jeremiah Hill, as well as Sylvester White.
His family is listed as: male 1<10, 1>45 fem 3<10, 1>45
In 1803 he also purchased Lot 102 (100 Ac) of Georgia Twp from the Tax Collector for $1.56 of back taxes; formerly property of David Maxfield Jr.
1810 census lists many new Hill families besides Jonathan and Reuben, probably the next generation starting families - Oliver, Moses, Truman, Simon, Justus/Hestes(?). Data for Jonathan is: male 1=10-16, 2=16-26, 1>45 fem 2=10-16, 1=16-26, 1>45.

Jonathan sold 30 Acres of land to his son, Heman Hill on 12 Oct 1824 for $330.
In the 13 April 1825 deed (Bk 5, pgs 465,479) for the old home from Jonathan to Lyman Hill for $1000. Jonathan and Lyman Hill signed an Indenture, agreeing that Lyman would pay all debts and care for his parents, Jonathan and Comfort Hill, for the remainder of their lives and allow them to live on the property deeded to him by his father. And that he would care for and maintain the property as well.The same day, he sold to Heman the 3 acres that Heman was living on for $32.
There is a land record for Jonathan in 1831, indicating he lived until after that. There is no listing for Jonathan in the 1830 census, but in 1830 there is a Alden Hill listed with a male there between 60-70. Alden may have been a son of Jonathan, & Jonathan could have been living with him.
