  1. 1.  Thomas Hill was born 29 Jul 1712, Swansea, MA (son of Jonathan HILL, III and Elizabeth HALE).

    Notes:

    The marriage record identifies Thomas as s/o Jonathan, dec'd (supposedly he died in Jan 1738; could the marriage have been recorded after that?). The marriage was recorded at Warwick, but says they were married at NK.

    Thomas married Abigail Pearce 4 Nov 1736, North Kingstown, Washington Co., RI. Abigail (daughter of Preserved Pearce) was born Abt 1715. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    The marriage record at Warwick identifies Thomas as s/o Jonathan, dec'd, and Abigail as d/o Preserved Peirce; it says they were married at NK.

  1. 8.  Jonathan HILL, Sr. was born Abt Jun 1640, Dorchester, Suffolk Co., MA (son of John HILL and Frances TILLESTON); died Bef Jul 1690, Prudence Island, Newport Co., RI.

    Notes:

    Note: I am not absulutely sure that Jonathan Hill of RI is a son of John & Frances Hill. However, I have linked him to this couple based on genealogical information sent to me by Hill descendants.

    Jonathan & Mary Hill lived at Warwick, Portsmouth, and Prudence Island.

    Jonathan & Mary may have had another son named Thomas in the early 1650s, as the book "The History of East Greenwich" tells of a Thomas Hill who was in Potowomut by 1680, in business partnership with James Greene.

    Jonathan may have been born earlier than 1640, possibly closer to 1630.

    It is believed that Jonathan married twice, to two women named Mary: Mary Sharwood (Sherwood) and Mary Bassett.

    From another genealogy: This or another Jonathan Hill may have died 2 Feb 1710, and his wife died 12 Sep 1715. (This needs more research.)
