  • Notes 
    • The earliest account we have of the ancestor of the Hills, who first settled at New London, and afterwards at Montville, is of date June 26, 1665, when Charles Hill and Christopher Christophus formeda copartnership in trading, it being the first of which any record is found in New London. They purchased a warehouse that formerly belonged to John Tinker on " Mill Cove," afterwards called Winthrop's Cove.

      Charles Hill, though styled of London, had previously been at the South, for in 1668 he assigned to Robert Prowse, merchant, "all my right to a plantation in Maryland, with milch cows and small cattle, etc., which have been four years jointly owned and cultivated by us."

      Mr. Hill was a girdler by trade. He was chosen town recorder of New London, Feb. 25, 1669-70, and held the office until his death. His handwriting was compact, but not distinct. He was also clerk of the county court at the time of his decease.

      The name of Charles Hill appears among others from New London, presented to the General Assembly at Hartford, Oct. 14, 1669, for freemen and admitted. At the general court, held at Hartford, May 12, 1670, an order was passed to empower the court at New London to examine the case relative to a Spaniard who was held by Mr. Hill as a servant, and if it should appear from evidence that the Spaniard was legally purchased by Mr. Hill, the court should empower some person to provide for his transportation to his native country, and a reasonable sum paid to Mr. Hill out of the public treasury for histime. How this case was disposed of, the records do not show.

      Charles Hill was a a son of George Hill of Barely, Derbyshire, England. This George Hill was probably the one who "came from England to Virginia, 20 June, 1635," the record says " from the town of Gravesend." He probably settled in Virginia or Maryland, and his son Charles coming from the South, as ' the record shows that he formerly resided on a plantation in Maryland, and indicates that the connection between these persons was that of father and son. Charles Hill married first, Ruth (Brewster) Picket, 16 July, 1668, widow of John Picket of New London, and daughter of Jonathan Brewster, whose father, William Brewster, was one of the band of Pilgrims that arrived at Plymouth in the Mayflower, December, 1620. The son came over in the Fortune, which arrived 10 Nov., 1621. Mrs. Hill died -with her infant child, 30 April, 1677. He afterwards married Rachel Mason, 12 June, 1678, daughter of Major John Mason, deputy governor of the colony. She and her infant child died in 1679. He died in Oct., 1684.
