I'm interested in parts of your post this follows, re the John HILL 1815 mortgage. Does it show wife's name, perhaps Sarah (COLYER), or describe much of where this John bought? I believe Sarah COLYER HILL will be found to be mother of Sacket - but which John around the area at the time's the trick. I do not know where John Jr nor Sarah are buried. Abial Frye HILL and Rev. War vet Caleb HILL were brothers to a John, sons of John Sr and Polly EASTMAN. The older children were born up at Dutchess County, probably Kingston; the younger (two?) at Ulster (later named Orange) County at Wallkill. Caleb, the eldest brother, probably passed though on his way to Bradford County PA where his youngest was born, enroute to central OH where he settled (probably) bounty lands. I'll be in NY Stalking Dead People the week of 20 May 2002, so zero-ing in on where to look will shortly be very important to know!
