Author: Kentucky Genealogy and Biography Volume 5, Kentucky: A History of the State by Battle - Perrin - Kniffin, 3rd edition 1886.
COL. THOMAS P. HILL, the gentleman whose name heads this sketch, was born in
Lincoln County, Ky., in the year 1828. He is a son of Thos. P. Hill and Louisa
(Peyton) Hill, both parents representing pioneer families. He received a
thorough literary education in the St. Mary's College of Marion County, Ky., and
began the study of the law while quite young. He enjoyed the benefits of an able
legal instructor in the person of the Hon. John Kincaid, then living in Lincoln
County, and he made such progress in his study that at the age of nineteen he
was admitted to practice. For a period of nearly forty years Col. Hill has been
in the active practice of his profession and for many years has occupied the
front frank in the Kentucky bar. Besides being an able jurist he is one of the
best advocates in the State and as an orator has few superiors in central
Kentucky. He has tenaciously adhered to the practice of his profession, and
though an ardent Democrat, has studiously avoided the political arena. He has
been twice
married: first to Miss Maria A. Peyton, and next to his present wife, Frances
Fowler.
