The Life Story of Julia Jills Johnson by Jessie Jolley Terry


by Jessie Jolley Terry

Julia Hills was born 26 September 1783 at Upton, Massachusetts, in the County of Worcester. She was the daughter of Joseph and Esther (Ellis) Hills.
Very little is known of Julia's early life. There are records, however, that lead us to believe that she came from a religious family; and that she and her brothers and sisters were given the opportunity of an education. One of her father's prize possessions was his small, well-used dictionary, which infers that he was an educated man.
Their family seemed to be very close. A letter written to their mother by Joel Hills, Julia's brother, tells of the love and devotion that they felt for their mother.
