Samuel Hill was born in Billerica 18 February 1671/72 and died there intestate 1 August 1755, the son of Ralph and Martha (Toothaker) Hill. He married before 1705 Deborah [-] who died in Billerica 2 June 1748.

Samuel inherited his father's homestead entire and lived out his life there. In the divisions of common land in 1705-8, he was allotted 76 acres, bounded by the Concord line and the Winthrop Farm (the main street of Bedford was later laid out on the north line of this lot), 144 acres in the east part of town (now Tewksbury), and 62 acres west of the Concord River. He sold most of these additional lands during his lifetime.

Samuel was a deacon in the church and in 1733 paid ls 3d for the minister's rate. He was also active in military affairs, and, as Captain of the Militia, maintained a watch for Indians at his house during the Indian attack of 1692-3:. from 4-6 July 1706 he served under Capt. John Lane assisting the town of Dunstable during Indian attack. In 1677 , as Sergeant, he was in charge of a squadron to cut brush from the highway. He was also called Sergeant in a 1679 tax list, paying 6s 6d. In 1711, called Lieutenant, he was appointed to investigate and recommend a highway route on Bare Hill, and in 1714 the town paid him 2s 6d for running the Lexington line. He served as Selectman in 1708-11, 1713-14, 1716-18, 1723-26, 1728-29, and 1743-44.

Samuel died intestate. His son Ralph Hill, styled Gentleman, Joseph Hill and Jonathan Hill, both yeomen, all of Billerica, were appointed administrators of his estate on 22 September 1755; witnesses were Andrew and Sarah Bordman.

The inventory was taken by Deacon William Stickney, Capt. Daniel Stickney, and Mr. Joseph Hill, all of Billerica; it was countersigned by Ralph Hill, Isaac Marshall, Abraham Jaquith, Joshua Davis, and Thomas Moses. His personal estate was valued at 73.15.4 including the livestock, and his real estate as follows: the 58 + acres with buildings abutting Peter Hill, Ralph Hill, and the Concord River were valued at 256; the 60-acre parcel including the homestead at 281.01.8; 16+ acres of meadow west of the river at 35.16.8, and 18+ acres of upland and swamp in Tewksbury at 4.0.0: total value was 572.18.4.

"As to the above lands we are of the opinion that they be ail settled upon Capt. Ralph Hill. the eldest son of the deceased, there being no other son known of in New England." Certain sums had been given to the children during Samuel's lifetime: on 8 May 1729,Deborah, wife of Samuel Whiting, was given 62; on 3 January 1732/33 Ralph received t260; on 6 June 1737 Sarah, wife of David Baldwin, received f 100; and on 27 February 1746, the date of Rebeckah's marriage to Isaac Marshall, she, Usle, wife of Jacob Walker, and Elizabeth, wife of Abraham Jaquith, each received J100. In January 1747, Samuel received f 281. Ralph was ordered to pay the charges of the settlement and to pay his brother and sisters, or, if deceased, their children, additional sums. The heirs also agreed on an additional sum for Abraham Jaquith, who took care of Samuel in his last illness.
