HILLS
as best can be determined from available records.
There appears to be at least three Richard Hills in this area
at the same
time.
They may be the same generation or different ones.
Unfortunately Francis Hill
is rarely mentioned and nothing has been found to tie one of
the Richards to
Francis or either one a father. Somerset County, Md. needs to
be checked.
Richard Hill of Hunting Creek
born at least by 1640 and probably earlier
This Richard appears to be the one referred to as Captain
Richard. He was a
large land owner compared to the others and his line is
easiers to follow.
Line
of ancestors on wife's side and desc has been followed by
people on ghotes.
1. His Will 26 March 1688 probated 21 Nov 1694 - does not
mention any sons
only daughters. There are no Deeds from him to any sons so it
must be
assumed he
had no sons. He owned land on Hunting Creek and on
Chungoteage. This would
put
him right on the ocean. It is unknown at this time if he was
the immigrant or
if he was born in Va.
His wife was Mary, surname
unknown
. I wonder if she was
not a daughter or brother of William Gowers who had a Will in
1668 and left
most
of his land to the grandchildren of Capt Richard Hill who was
the resid
legate

RICHARD OF ACCOMACK AND SOMERSET, MARYLAND
This Richard moves from Accomack to Somerset, Maryland in 1668
wife was Wilmot
who gives her releast of Dower in several Deeds
owned 550 Ac, owned land on Occahono which he received by
Patent in 1664. He
gave Richard Hill, JR. his POA. He was a blacksmith. He sold
additional land
in 1685 that he had bought in 1683 I did not see the Deed
where he bought
this
land.
NOTE: This Richard signed with a Mark that is identical to the
one signed by
Richard of Accomack that was a weaver and is of the line of
this study. Work
needs to be done in Somerset.
NOTE: son Richard had no heirs as of 1686
RICHARD AND FRANCIS OF CRAVEN
Francis is easy to identify as he rarely shows up on the
Records of Accomack.
He is never on the Tax List that I have seen. He appeared to
own no property
other than that he inherited from his in laws. The first
mention of him that
I
have found in in the Will of John Perry written 5 Oct 1708 and
probated 6
Sept
1709. John left his estate to his son John but should John,
who was not 21,
die without issue then to his son-in-law Francis Hill. John's
wife was Jane.
A
John Perry was imported into Accomack Co in 1667 and again in
1674. I have
not
been able to determine if he immigrated in 1667 or if he was
already there
and
had gone out of the County in order to aquire more land. I
have also not
determind if this John Perry was the original or maybe a son.
The John with
the
Will had at least a son who was not 21 in 1708 which would
have him born
after
1687. His daughter should have been about the same age. If
John of 1667 was
the
same John of the Will, then there appears to be a 20 year gap
where he did
not
have children. Also the land left by Jean/Joan to Francis was
purchased in
1703
and 1704. This needs to be looked into further.
Since Joan/Jane Perry left her land to Francis, it appears
that her son may
have died without issue. In a Deed on 1 Aug 1710 Joan Perry
widow of John,
gave
property to her "son" Francis Hill. On 6 Sept 1710 Francis
sold that land to
John Oncely because he was moving. This is when he shows up in
Craven County.
Elizabeth Hill relinguished her dower. Francis signed with a
MARK the mark is
almost identical to the one he uses in Craven County.
If Elizabeth Perry was the mother of Francis Hill's children,
then this is
consistent with another generation of a Francis Hill in Craven
County.
Elizabeth
and Francis were married at least by 1708.
I almost have the feeling that Francis is quite a bit younger
than his
brother
Richard which could eliminate the second generation of
Francis.
We see a Francis with the wife Catherine in 1745 in Craven.
Was this old
Francis with another wife, Elizabeth having died? Or was this
the son of
Francis I.
Richard and Francis Jr. were born no later than 1735 or so.
There are only
two possibilities and I doubt we will ever know the real
answer.
RICHARD
There is a little more on Richard, brother to Francis. He
married Margaret
Ternall no later than 1693 and probably earlier. His
father-in-law, Roger
Ternall
had a Will written 23 Dec 1694 probated 17 Sept 1695 in which
he leaves to
his
daughter Margaret Hill and his grandson Roger Hill which means
Roger was born
by 1694 and I suspect he was born by 1688 or so. Roger Ternall
had children
under 21 as he left them in the care of Richard Hill among
others.
Roger Ternall may have married Ann, the daughter of Robert
Adkins. Adkins had
a Will dated 17 Feb 1715 probated 3 Sept 1717 and mentioned
his daughter Ann
Ternall. It is of interest that Adkins had land on Cingoteague
which is where
Capt. Richard Hill lived.
NOTE: Was this the Robert Adkins of Craven/Dobbs County
A Thomas Tunnell was on the Tax List in 1667 and Roger had a
son Thomas. I
wonder if this was Roger's father. Roger was on the Tax List
in 1674
The first Deed I can prove for Richard, the weaver, is in 1693
were he is the
grantee for land on Timber or Bear Creek. I am not sure
exactly where this is
in relationship to the other Hills but it was adjacent to
Roger Ternell. I
did
not see a Deed for Richard selling this land when he
moved.
Richard Smith is all through this County in the early Records
and he appears
to
have moved with the Hills to Craven County.
More work needs to be done in Accomack County but it may take
reading the
Deeds
page by page. Also, Richard Hill of Somerset needs to be
tracked. He was a
Blacksmith. Richard and Francis were weavers which means they
were tradesmen.
At that time, trades tended to be handed from father to son,
but there is no
indication of an earlier Hill who was a weaver. I have a hunch
the Richard of
Somerset may be the father of our Richard and Francis and his
father may
have been
the Richard Hill who was a millwright and carpenter mentioned
in the Maryland
Historical Magazine. I do think this family was in Virginia or
Maryland very
early in the 1600's and the name Richard and Francis Hill are
seen in Va by
1630.
