trying to locate information on Anthony hilliard 1585-1657 arrived Hingham 1639

Question

Anthony Hilliard arrived in Hingham in 1639 ( also listed was John Farrow 1636/) I am trying to connect Anthony to William Hilliard who's daughter Mary born 1644 married John Farrow born 1639. Anthony is a mystery apart from the fact he was born in England parents unk.Mary would be his granddaughter if there was a connection. Any help would be appreciated. It was mentioned that Anthony may be the son of Nicholas Hilliard and Alice Brandon, but I can't find possitive connection.thank you kind regards Trish Erickson

We also are researching that line, and did find the connection a few years ago of Anthony to father Nicholas.  I will try to find that source again.  The RAST family on Ancestry claim that no only Anthony, but also a John Hilliard (our ancestor) who came to Vg. Colony was Nicholas' son, but I could never find that source.  We know that Anthony and the Vg. Hilliards were somehow related but there's just not enough info yet.  I will let you know if I find that source concerning Anthony who came to Plymouth.
