Notes	Johanna's husband George and his famous "Farm Swap" with his father-in-law, John Vibber, was well written in New London Records. "On the 27th day of Feb. 1740-1 in the fourteenth year of the Reign of George the Second, King of Great Britain, George Hill and his father-in-law, John Vibber, did exchange farms". In 1760, George died under peculiar conditions. After visiting a friend in Lyne, during the winter months, he walked home. He was missing for several months and his decayed body was found in the woods and identified from the clothes he was wearing. Johanna remarried on May 22nd, 1766, Jason Allen (b. c. 1700), the son of Samuel Allen and Lydia Hastings. This was Jason Allen's second marriage, his first wife Mary Atwell having died in 1762. GEORGE (13), b. about 1713, son of Jonathan Hill and Mary Sherwood; married about 1738, Johanna Vibber, daughter of John Vibber and Johanna Williams, b. 31 Oct., 1712. He settled on a farm formerly occupied by his father. He purchased, 11 Oct., 1736, of his brother, John, and sisters, Mary and Jane Avery, their interest in a certain farm, which belonged to their uncle, Charles Hill, and their father, Jonathan Hill, " situated at a place called Mohegan in the North Parish of New London, lying westward of a pine swamp, and bounded south on the land of the Mohegan Indians, including all that part of said farm which was the estate of our Uncle Charles, deceased," and bounded west with that part of said farm set out to our sister Ruth, from her father's estate. George Hill, with his sisters, Mary and Jane, conveyed to John Hill, their brother, a tract of land owned by their father at his decease, viz.: "On the westerly side of the highway that goes to the meeting-house, with the mansion house lately belonging to our honored father, Jonathan Hill." This mansion house stood on the Norwich road, and recently known as the " Old Vibber House." It was recently taken down by the present ownerof the farm, Samuel H. Atwell, who is a descendant of John Vibber, the father-in-law of George Hill. On the 27th day of February, 1740-1, in the fourteenth year of the reign of George the Second, King of Great Britain, George Hill, and iiis futhor-in-kw, John Vibber, exchanged farms. George Hill died about the year 1760, under peculiar circumstances. He was absent from his home a long time, and his whereabouts could not bo ascertained by his friends, though they sought diligently for him among the family relations. Several months after he was missed, a body much decayed was found in the woods, whither he had wandered in aberration of his mind, after leaving a friend's house in Lyme. The clothes, which were in a state of preservation, were identified as those he had on when he left his friend's house to return home. His widow afterwards married Jason Allen, 22 May, 1760.
