Notes

He had a 'parcel of upland' lying at East End given him by his father. He was one of the early settlers of East Guilford and prominent in the movement to have it made a separate society.

"JAMES(2) HILL (John') had wife Sarah ---, whose surname is not given by Dr. Steiner. Dr. Talcott's MS. on the Griswold family states that Sarah, daughter of Michael Griswold of Wethersfield, born Sept. 30, 1662, married ----- Hill. There seems to be no other, male member of the Guilford family of Hill having a wife Sarah, at a sufficiently early date, except him. The will, dated in 1678, of Michael Griswold, of Wethersfield, who died in 1684, refers to his daughter Sarah Hill. James(2) and Sarah Hill had children named Isaac and Michael; and Michael Griswold, of Wethersfield, and wife Ann had sons Michael and Isaac."
