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.
