"Noah Hill, his grandfather, who was of English descent, came from Connecticut to Ohio in 1817,bringing his wife and five children. They were veritable pioneers of Erie county, where Noah, who had been a cloth dresser in the East, followed the trade of ship carpenter, becoming a master builder and very expert workman. He was also a well-to-do farmer, owning at one time over 400 acres of land, all accumulated by hard work, and for part of which he remained in debt some forty-five years, but eventually succeeded in paying off the last penny. In 1850 he disposed of his property and retired, making his final home in Berlin Heights, where he died in 1864. He was a large, well-built man; a Republican in politics, formerly a Whig, and served as a justice of the peace. By his wife, Sukey (Butler), he had children as follows: Horace L., Edwin I., Elihu P., Benjamin L., Henrietta, Mary Ann, Hester, Sarah, George S., Sterling and Noah."
