Note: Census records show that John Hillman, Sr. was born in New York about 1814. He met and married Elizabeth "Eliza" Jane Burk in Pennsylvania and their first seven children were born there. The family was living in Iowa in 1855 when their penultimate child, Samuel, was born. Within a few years they moved to eastern Nebraska.


1860

The 1860 Census for Johnson Co., Nebraska shows:

Family 700: John Hillman (age 46), New York, Tenant Farmer
Eliza (age 43), Pennsylvania
George (age 23), Pennsylvania
Thaddeus (age 18), Pennsylvania
John, Jr. (age 17), Pennsylvania
Pembroke (age 12), Pennsylvania
Martha Jane (age 10), Pennsylvania
Clarence (age 8), Pennsylvania
Samuel (age 5), Iowa
Sarah (age 8 months), Nebraska

In June of 1861, both John, Jr. and Thaddeus enlisted in the Nebraska Cavalry and served during the Civil War.

Sometime between 1860 and 1870 John Sr. moved his family to Hooker Township, Gage Co., Nebraska where he homesteaded his own place. There they were joined by their son Edwin Rathburn Hillman, his wife, Emily Cordelia (Rogers) Hillman, and their family. Edwin and Emily's daughter, Alice, was born in Iowa in 1866. Apparently Edwin and Emily lingered in Iowa longer than his parents' family.


1870

By 1870 John Sr. and Eliza's sons George and Pembroke had disappeared. Their daughter, Martha Jane Hillman, had married George Zuver and the couple were living on a farm nearby. Their son, John Hillman Jr., had married Sarah Margaret (?) and they had a farm next to their parents. Their son, Thaddeus Hillman, had married Elizabeth Ellen Stafford and they also had a farm next door. Note that in the 1870 Census all the Hillman farms are listed in sequence.

The 1870 Census for Gage Co., Nebraska shows:

Family 230: John Hillman, Sr. (age 56), New York
Eliza (age 53), Pennsylvania
Clarence (age 18), Pennsylvania
Samuel, (age 14), Iowa
Sarah, (age 10), Nebraska

Family 231: John Hillman, Jr. (age 27), Pennsylvania
Margaret (age 23), Pennsylvania
Ger U. (age 2), Nebraska
Tho. J. (age 7 months), Nebraska

Family 232: Edwin Hillman (age 30), Pennsylvania
Emily C. (age 23), Pennsylvania
Alice (age 4), Iowa
John (age 3),Nebraska

Family 233: T. C. S. S. (Thaddeus) Hillman (age 29), Pennsylvania
Elizabeth (age 22), Indiana
Grant (age 2), Nebraska
Thadeus S. (age 4 months), Nebraska

Family 242: Geo. W. Zuver (age 23), Ohio
Martha Jane (age 20) Pennsylvania

Family 243: B. P. Zuver (age 29) Ohio

About 1878 Thaddeus Hillman and family moved to California. About six years later they moved to Enterprise, Wallowa Co., Oregon. Elizabeth died in Oregon in 1890 shortly after their last child was born. In 1898 Thaddeus applied for a Civil War Veterans Pension. He updated the application in 1907 and again in 1915. Thaddeus died at Fort Dick, Del Norte Co., California in 1922.


1880

By 1880 Clarence Hillman had married Mary Elizabeth Kritner. They had their own place next to John, Sr. Samuel had married Sophie Jane Cox. Samuel and family were living with John Sr.'s family. Edwin Hillman still had his own place. John, Jr. and his family had moved to Pottawatomie Co., Oklahoma. John, Jr. and Sarah Margaret (?) Hillman are buried in Tecumseh Cemetery near Tecumseh, Oklahoma.

The 1880 Census for Gage Co., Nebraska shows:

Family 24: Clarence Hillman (age 28), Pennsylvania
Mary (age 19), Nebraska
Harriet (age 2), Nebraska
(Harriet "Hattie" Hillman died shortly after this census
was recorded. She is buried next to her parents in
Hooker Cemetery.)

Family 25: John Hillman, Sr. (age 66), New York
Eliza (age 62), Pennsylvania
Sarah (age 20), Nebraska
Samuel (age 24), Iowa

Family 34: Edwin Hillman (age 41), Pennsylvania
Emily (age 33), Illinois
Alice (age 14), Iowa
John (age 12), Nebraska
Estella (age 8), Nebraska
Mary (age 5), Nebraska
Infant (age 6 months), Nebraska (This is Laura)

In 1882 John Hillman Sr. and Eliza died. They are buried in Hooker Cemetery, which is located on land that was part of the original Hillman homestead. Eliza has a nice stone; I have not been able to locate a stone for John, Sr. (There is also a stone in Hooker Cemetery for Sherman Rogers, father of Emily Cordelia (Rogers) Hillman. He must have followed his daughter and son-in-law to Nebraska. He died in 1881.)

In 1883 Sarah Elizabeth Hillman married Gershum Young.


1890

In 1893 Samuel Hillman moved his family to Roger Mills Co., Oklahoma. Sarah and Gershum Young also moved to Oklahoma. They lived just a few miles from Samuel and his family. Sarah died in 1944. She and Gershum are buried in Red Hill Cemetery near Hammon, Oklahoma. Samuel died in 1939. There is a common marker for Samuel and Sophie Jane in Barker Cemetery (aka Nine-Mile Cemetery) near Strong City, Oklahoma. Sophie died in 1952 in Harrah, Oklahoma. Her body was not returned to Roger Mills County, she is buried in Hurrah.

The 1890 Census for most of the United States was destroyed in a fire.


1900

In 1900 Clarence Hillman was still living in Gage Co., Nebraska with his four boys. (Clarence and his wife, Mary, had separated. It is believed that she had moved to Colorado to make her fortune in gold mining.)

Edwin and Emily Hillman and family were also still living in Gage Co., Nebraska. Their son, John, was married to Arena Leona "Ona" Fuller and had a farm next door. Their daughter, Alice, had married Casper "Cap" Sivits and moved to North Platte, Nebraska; daughter, Estella "Stella", had married William E. "Willie" Grubb and moved to the town of Adams; and their daughter, Mary, had married Harry Snyder. By 1910 both the Grubbs and Snyders had farms in Hooker Township (see 1910 Census).

The 1900 Census for Gage Co., Nebraska shows:

Family 10: Clarence Hillman (age 48), Pennsylvania

In 1905 Clarence Hillman sold his farm to Herman and John Krause and bought farms in Kansas for three of his sons. His forth son, Harry Hillman, remained in Gage Co., Nebraska. Clarence died at Asherville, Kansas in 1936. Mary died at Topeka, Kansas in 1935. Someone has seen to it that both Clarence and Mary are buried in Hooker Cemetery. They have a common stone.


1910

By 1910 the only Hillmans left on the original homestead were Edwin Hillman, his wife, Emily, and some of their children. Their son, Robert Hillman, had married Anna Diehm and moved to a farm in Johnson County, Nebraska. It was located near her parents' farm. Their daughter, Laura Hillman, had married Robert Raymond "Ray" Birch. (I need to recheck the 1910 Census for the Birch family.)

The 1910 Census for Gage County, Nebraska shows:

Family 36: William E. Grubb (age 40), Indiana
Stella A. (age 37), Nebraska - Estella Hillman

1920

By 1920 Edwin Hillman and Cordelia had moved to Lincoln, Nebraska. A little after 1920, Their son, Robert, and his wife, Anna, moved their family to Bayard, Morrill Co., Nebraska. Robert's sister, Laura and Raymond Birch had moved their family to Burwell, Loup Co., Nebraska. Robert's sister, Mary (Hillman) Snyder and her husband, Harry Snyder, had also moved to western Nebraska. Several of Roberts children recall visiting with aunt Mary and Uncle Harry. Mary and Harry Snyder's daughter, May, eventually married Bob McCracken. May and Bob had seven girls, their first names all started with the letter "E". May (Snyder) McCracken came to the funeral of my paternal grandmother, Cecile DeVault, in 1966.

A little after 1920, Edwin and Emily Hillman moved to Bayard from Lincoln. Edwin died in 1922. After his death, Emily lived with her children's families. She was living with her daughter, Alice Sivits, and family in North Platte, Lincoln Co., Nebraska at the time of her death in 1935. Both Edwin and Emily are believed to be buried in Bayard Cemetery, Bayard, Morrill Co., Nebraska.
