History of Johnson County - The First Hundred Years
Mark Hill and his wife Rachel came from Tennessee to the County, in 1829, and settled among the Cherokee Indians. John and Marcus were tow of their sons. The Indians did not leave Arkansas until two or three years after the Hills moved here. The Hill boys hunted with the Cherokees, themselves dressed in Indian garb and supplied with bows and arrows. They enlisted in Col. Yell's First Arkansas Mounted Regiment in the Mexican War. John was given a brevit of First Lieutenant. In the Civil War John was made Captain of Co. C. of the 16th Ark. Infantry. Later he received the distinction of Colonel. He was a tailor by trade; and owned and managed a mercantile store in Clarksville until the early 80's, when he died. He is buried in the graveyard of the Confederate dead. A tall obelisk was erected by the Masons, for he was once a Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Arkansas. Marcus Hill returned to his home on the Mulberry after the Civil War, where he lived 4 score years.
