'HILL. 1. Ralph, was early at Plymouth. The tradition, in his family, that he came from Billericay is prob. and strengthened by the fact that there was a clergyman bearing the same name in Essex, 1645-69, (See David's Annals of Nonconformity in Essex, p. 440), whose wife was Persis , and who had dau. Sarah bap. at Shalford, 1645, Aug. 10. In 1650. he was at Ridgwell, "a godly preaching minister;" afterwards, at Pattiswick. where he was 'ejected,' and in 1669, he is reported at Sheldon, " having a conventicle there." Our Ralph Hill "of Wellingsly," prob. a locality in Plymouth, sold 1643, Sept. 16, for £12. to Stephen Wood, house and garden, upland at Wobery," 12 acres or thereabout; and we soon after find him in Woburn, where he was freeman, 1647 ; Selectman in 1649. He joined in the settlement of Shawshin as early as any; and lived on ' the farm.' a mile south-west of the village, his house standing a little west of the place where Mrs. Judkins, his descendant, now lives. In April. 1663, he gave the town one-half acre of land for a " buring place." and on the 29th, he died. — his own body, doubtless, the first to be laid in the old 'south' burying ground.

• Background
• Roger Toothaker was born in England in 1634. In 1635 Toothaker travelled to Boston from London sailing from August 21 to September 11 on the Hopewell, led by Captain Babb. Afterwards in 1638 his father, Roger Toothaker, died, possibly in Plymouth on February 5. Later that year his mother 'Margaret married Ralph Hill on December 21 and they lived in Billerica'. He served as an assistant to Samuel Eldred, and later became a physician although he had no formal medical training. 'Around 1662 to 1663 his stepfather Ralph Hill died'. In 1665 he married Mary Allin and had nine children, Nathaniel, Martha, Allin, Roger, Sarah, Mary, Mary, Andrew, and Margaret.[1] His daughter Mary died the year she was born, and another child born the next year was given her name. In 1683 Margaret was born and Nathaniel, the second-born Mary, and Dr. Toothaker's mother died. . . . .
