In the 20 September 1850 census for Parke county, Indiana, Amanda Painter was listed as age 19, born in Maryland, and living with the James Moyars family. John had been married, but the name of his wife and date of death are not known. His second wife was Amanda, the ceremony performed by Rev. Cummins in Parke county, Indiana. The other males in his family worked in the lime kill and all died of TB.
They lived in Brazil, Indiana, for several years, then migrated to Olathe, Kansas about 1861, where John had a lime kiln and made brick, etc. He was blind in one eye and did not have to serve in the Civil War but was in the home guard.
Jennie remembered traveling from Johnson county to Greenwood county, Kansas, in a covered wagon. They had a farm and John carried the mail to and from the Star Post Office to Eureka for many years.
Two of their sons, Charles and Frank, filed on homesteads in Woodward county, Oklahoma, and after a few months returned to Kansas to move their parents. John said he wasn't leaving, but was the first one in the wagon the morning they started in May, 1901.
He homesteaded eight acres four miles east of Gage, Oklahoma. Although 73 years old, he milked cows, had a garden, and raised turkeys. He had muzzle loading gun made by Peter Neff and Sons prior to 1820 with an octagonal barrel which was given to him by his father - he could shoot the head off a turkey with it, then it was carefully cleaned and polished. He spent many hours of the day herding, as the livestock had full range of the prairies. One grandson remembers that in 1905, John had a long gray beard and very gray hair, whereas Amanda at 73 still had very black hair. By tradition, she had English, Pennsylvania Dutch, and Carlyle Indian ancestors.
The Hills were staunch Methodists and took an active part in the church activities at the nearby small school house. He always prayed aloud in church, asking the Lord to take him anytime so he could be with his wife in heaven. Amanda, his second wife and mother of his nine children was still alive at the time.
