William Allison Hill was born in Cabarrus County, North Carolina, five miles from Salisbury, on August 12, 1812, and is a son of Josiah and Susan Hughey Hill, natives of North Carolina and Scotland, respectively. About 1824 the father went to Georgia, and three years later immigrated to Perry County, Tennessee, where he farmed upon the Buffalo river, and
lived until his death. There our subject passed his youth, and married Winnie Warren, daughter of Richard Warren, who went to Tennessee from North Carolina. In 1833 Mr Hill removed to Arkansas, and May 2 arrived in Crittenden
County, Where he spent twenty months. In 1834 he located in Mulberry Valley, eighteen miles north of Ozark, where he has since made his home. During these early days game and wild animals abounded, and Mr Hill often spent days hunting and roaming through the woods. He farmed a number of years, and in 1882 engaged in the mercantile business. In 1886 he sold his business, and for two years sold goods upon his farm. He now devotes his attention exclusively
to agricultural pursuits, although for a number of years until 1883, he kept a hotel and stage stand. Mr Hill's farm contains 600 acres of good, fertile land, 150 of which he has cleared and cultivated. Mr Hill's first wife died in
Franklin County; she had borne him three sons and four daughters; William A(deceased), Sarah wife of James Samuels, a farmer of Madison County), Susan(wife of M Hill), Josaiah (married and on home place), Naricissa (wife of James
Dickerson),Jane (wife of Thomas Dickerson), and Pleasant (who is married and a resident of this county). About 1875 Mr Hill was united in marriage to the widow of William Stewart, an early settler of Mulberry Valley. This lady is
an active member of the Primitive Baptist Church, of which she has been a member over twenty years. Mr Hill has belonged to the same church over thirty years. He is also a Mason of long standing.
