Hi! I'm a Hill descendant from the New England Hills. My line starts with John Hill who was born in England in 1615 and married to Catherine Chalker. They settled in CT around 1646. John became freeman at Guilford before 1657, having been in Branford in 1646 During the troubles between Connecticut and New Haven, he was of the Rossiter faction. Suits against him for slander are discussed in 'Steiner's History of Guilford' page 95. He was one of the lesser planters, being known as Goodman Hill. His home lot was on the south side of the Green, and contained about an acre and three-fourths. In addition to this, he had other lands. They had 6 children. I have all the info to my current generation. My grandmother was a Hill. Her grandmother was a Goodyear that married a Hill. Melinda
