We have an ancestor of his named Mary Brill who married Henry Mills. I find a Phillip Brill and his wife Anna buried next to this couple in the Deposit Cemetery in Delaware Co. In searching for Phillip, I have found the following information. !CENSUS:1790 Columbia Co., New York, Hillside page 232 one free white male 16 and over, one free white male 16 and under, two free wihite females. Might not be them unless they had a son who died. !CENSUS:1810 Schoharie Co., New York, Middleburg page 36, one male 45 and over; one female under 10, two females 10-15, three females 16-25, and one female 26-44. !CENSUS:1820 Delaware Co., New York, Tompkins page 90 b. bef 1775. living next door to Henry Mills the supposed husband of a Mary Brill Mills. In the surrounding area are Nathaniel Cook the father-in-law of his daughter, Phebe; George W. Pellett, the husband of his daughter, Amy a witness to his will; Stephen VanSchuick a witness to his will; Minor Mills and Ebenezer Mills Jr, brothers of Henry Mills the supposed husband of his daughter Mary Brill Mills; and Ebenezer Mills Sr. the father of Henry Mills. !CENSUS:1830 Delaware Co., New York, Tompkins page 203 age between 70 and 80 about 17 families from Henry Mills. !DEATH:A Delaware Co., New York Will dated 19 Aug 1839 Probated 14 Nov 1844 lists his wife; Anna and his daughters; Polly (who I think is Mary), Amy, Cynthia, Hannah, Betsey, and Phebe. The witnesses were Stephen VanSchoyck of Tompkins, Stephen VanSchoyck Jr. of Tompkins, George W. Pellett of Masonville, and Phillip J. Pellett of Masonville. Can anyone help me with further information on this Brill family? I can't seem to find any clues that go beyond him, although I find a number of Brills in the surrounding area of New York.
