I too am looking for northern HILL relatives. I believe they came to Vermont from New Hampshire. It might have been Joshua and Sarah Hill, but this is just conjecture right now. My Charles L. HILL b1826 Waterbury, WA Co., VT married Martha J. PRESCOTT b1829 Vershire, Orange Co., VT and dca 1854. Children were: Alfred Eldorus, Frank and Ella. Charles married second to Frances Brown and had children: Sarah Almira, Albert W., George Prescott, Sylvia M.J., Charles LeRoy, Clarence Lorenzo (Ren), and Pride Earl. Family notes list the young family moving from Vermont about 1855, going to Wisconsin, then Nebraska, then Iowa. Apparently both Charles and Frances died when their youngest Pride Earl was quite small. He is listed as being adopted by a CROOKS family, I think taking that surname. My Alfred Eldorus HILL b1851 Waterbury, VT married Hattie May GOODSELL 1884 in Iowa. Their children were: Jessie May, Harry, Benjamin, Ernest, Clarene, Martha Edna, Dora, a baby, and Ella. Would love to hear from anyone in this family, or if you might have any clues on the New Hampshire to Vermont connection. Thanks Janice
