    Notes:

    Thomas is called Deacon Thomas, dec'd, in the 1761 Warwick marriage record of his son Nathaniel. However, a Hill manuscript at NK Library says he died 20 Apr 1768. I think Nathaniel's marriage was recorded later, after his father had died.

    Thomas was a member of the Six-Principle Baptist Church of East Greenwich, from 1743; he was a deacon and frequently hosted meetings at his home. He contributed money to repair the meetinghouse in 1763 (source: "Elder John Gorton and the Six-Principle Baptist Church of East Greenwich," ed. Cherry Fletcher Bamberg, pub 2001 by RI Genealogical Society, p 490 etc.)

    Thomas Hill and Jabez Greene (1673-1741) of Potowomut built a dam to power a sawmill and gristmill. They also ran a forge, and I think that is where the name Forge Rd. came from.

    The will of Thomas Hill of NK was recorded 9 April 1768, proved 9 May (year burned away). It mentions wife Ann; sons Thomas, Matthew, Nathaniel dec'd, and Caleb; three dtrs (names burned away); and grand-dtr Mary Hill d/o of my son Nathaniel dec'd.
