George Hill rafted corn grown on his farm in Knox County, Indiana, down the Wabash River to New Orleans and returned by foot and stagecoach. After his first wife died in 1863 and his mother died in 1866, he followed his sister Rebecca and her husband, Ferdinand Hollingsworth, to Carthage, Jasper County, Missouri, in 1872. George served as a justice of the peace and constable in Knox County, Indiana, and Jasper County, Missouri. He moved to Palestine, Crawford County, Illinois, in 1882.
