In the year 1833, the Wilson family moved to Worthington Township, this county. The deceased was married to James Moffet in 1835, and with her husband moved to Hardin County, Ohio, where the husband died shortly after. She then returned to her parents in this locality. In 1838 she was united in marriage to Daniel Hill to whom were born two sons and one daughter. Richard, the elder son lost his life in the late war.
