    The names of Thomas's children were obtained from a list on the Hill Family Forum at Genealogy.com, posted by Gary Horlacher. I have roughly estimated their birth years. These names and dates need more research to confirm; however, the family seems to be well researched by the poster.

    The following notes are from Rootsweb's Worldconnect, Phillip Pitzer's family tree (my editing):
    Thomas Hill left Foster, RI, sometime around the year of 1782. He was listed in the tax roster of the town of Foster in the year of 1781 but no longer in the year 1787. Thomas and Susanna Hill are also listed on deeds in Scituate, RI, as follows:

    Scituate Deeds, Vol. 6, p. 440, Christopher Cook and Thomas Hill Jr. of Scituate, Providence, Rhode Island, plantation yeoman for 180 pounds from Jacob Philips, deed 44 acres, 71 rods in that part of town called Weitquanoid bordering Peleg Richmand's property. Rebecca Cook and Susannah Hill, wives of the said Christopher Cook and Thomas Hill Jr. yield right of dowry. 19 Sep. 1778. Witnesses: Elisabeth Angell, Jeremiah Angell, Thomas Hill, and Nehe Angell.

    [My note: Rebecca Cook is Thomas's sister.]

    Scituate Deeds, Vol. 6, p. 522, Thomas Hill Jr. of Scituate, Providence, RI, plantation clothier, for 3000 pounds paid by John Hill of the same place, clothier, sold one moiety or quarter part of a certain farm with a quarter part of a fulling mill and quarter part of a gristmill which fulling mill and grist mill are on the farm where on my honored father Thomas Hill Esquire now lives. And Sussannah Hill, wife of Thomas Hill yields her right of dowry in the premises. 8 March 1780. Witnesses: Samuel Wilber and Jeremiah Angell.

    In the land records of Foster, RI, are the following two deeds:
    Vol. 2, p. 10 Thomas Hill Jr. of Foster, Plantation yeoman, sold 47 acres 117 rods to Peleg Round fo 228 pounds 15 shillings silver which he purchased from Nehemiah Angell. Witnesses: Nathan Young and John Westcot. 23 April 1782.

    Vol. 2, p. 24 Thomas Hill Jr. of Foster Plantation yeoman, sold 30 acres in Foster to Jonah Young for 90 pounds. Witnesses: Nathan Young and John Westcot. 23 April 1782.

    The 1790 census of Westfield, Washington County, NY, listed three Hill families: Thomas Hill, Daniel Hill and Henry Hill. Shortly after this, Westfield Township was reorganized and the township of Hartford was organized out of part of Westfield. Thomas moved from Hartford, Washington County, NY, to Rutland, Jefferson County, NY, sometime around the year 1800. Land records in Washington County indicate that Thomas Hill and his wife Susannah sold 119 acres of land in Hartford for $250 to a Daniel Mason in October of 1798.

    In the book "History of Jefferson Country in the State of New York" by Franklin B. Hough (1854) it states that an Asher Miller became an agent to sell new land in Rutland Township beginning in 1799. Some of the first people to to purchase land in this area were : Peter Cook, 92 acres in 1800; Jonathan Hill and Frederick Tyler 146 acres in 1800; Thomas Hill, 112 acres in 1801 and Charles Hill 120 acres in a year not specified.

    In the 1800 census for Oneida County, NY, Thomas Hill is listed as over 45 and his wife as over 45 and having six children all under the age of 26. This area of Oneida County later became Rutland, Jefferson County, NY, 1805.

    In the 1810 Jefferson County, NY, census for the township of Rutland, on p 35 there is a listing for a Thomas Hill and a Thomas Hill, Jr. living next to each other. The next household appears to be a Boudige Warner. In the Thomas Hill, Jr. household the 3rd and 8th column each had a one marked in them.

    In the 1820 Jefferson County, NY, census in Rutland Township on Roll 72, Book 1 and page 254, Thomas is listed with 2 males 16-26 years of age and one greater than 45 years old. There is one female greater than 45 years old and 3 slaves.

    In the book "The Story of Hartford: A History" by Mrs. Isabella Brayton (1929) it lists the following information about Thomas Hill and his family:
    Thomas Hill married Susan Cook, daughter of the famous navigator. Daughters of Thomas Hill married respectfully Laban and Wanton Bump. There were three brothers, Laban, Wanton and Stephen Bump who settled in town. Laban married a daughter of Thomas Hill, first settled south of East Hartford on the Belcher Road. Wanton, b 1769, married a daughter of Thomas Hill, settled above East Hartford on the North Hebron Road.

    Thomas moved back to Washington County and was buried in the Old Hartford Cemetery, Washington County, NY.

    My notes:

    This other marriage also seems to fit this particular Thomas, but the above Scituate records show his wife to be Susannah, so this must be another individual of the same name: Hill Thomas, of North Kingstown, son of Thomas, dec., and Elizabeth Vaughn, of West Greenwich, dau. of George; m. by Jonathan Niles, Justice, Nov. 2. 1784; Town Page Detail: Marriage (Vol. 2 : Pg. 206), West Greenwich, RI.

    Thomas married Susannah Susie Cook Abt 1772. Susannah (daughter of Peter Cook and Mercy Wanton) was born Abt 1755, Scituate, RI; died 13 Jun 1848, Washington Co., NY; was buried , Old Hartford Cemetery, Washington Co., NY. [Group Sheet]
