There is some very well documented genealogy on the net. I've traced them back to: William HILLARD was born about 1614 in England - Immigrated 1635; Boston, Massachusetts Bay Colony 1. He arrived in the spring of 1635 on the ship "Elizabeth and Ann" out of London. He was a carpenter, 21 years of age. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
