I will be disconnecting anyone not in this list and locking down the tree to relationship changes.
Carissa Hill Reports that there are badly done Gedcoms & trees causing Hill confusion, so beware. In fact, I think we should send for deletion any more duplicates into this area.
Not the son of Hanniniah Elizabeth Hill & Rev. William Hill, Jr.

James Madison Hill (Son of William Hill, Jr & Susannah Hill)
I have lots of ancestry.com DNA matches (62 > 8 cm) to Rev William Hill and spouse Hanna Halbert, but my DNA matches are to 10 children that do not include a Green, or Mary, but do include 8 you have listed plus Winifred Hill King (1755-1850) , Aquila (1174-1835) , and possibly Swinfield (only 9 cm). Green and Mary are on my ancestry tree, bur DNA threshold for thrulines match was not met. The 12 birthdates for children on my ancestry tree do not conflict with each other.
You might be jumping the gun on disconnecting and locking down!
Jim Ward - can you Post a link to your ancestry tree for this family? Dates are still funky here, I’d love to see more accuracy.
Yes, me too. They work hard on sourcing and citing those sources.
I’ll reconnect Aquilla Hill, Sr. with “uncertainty” caveat.

I’m going to upload http://rancho.pancho.pagesperso-orange.fr/Revhill.htm as a source document, there’s lots of detail.
Numerous legal documents that show William as having died intestate give him four sons John, William, James, and Green, and three daughters Elizabeth, Cynthia, and Frances. After William's death, Elizabeth married John Glenn. Nonetheless, three other children have been attributed to them.
