Biography

Mary or Mercy Warner was born in 1626 in England, the daughter of Andrew Warner and Mary Humphrey, who moved to Hartford in 1636.

She married (1) in Hartford, 22 January 1645/6, to John Steele, son of JOHN STEELE. She married (2) in late 1655 or early 1656 WILLIAM HILLS, as his 3rd wife. She died after February 1680[/1] (when she is named in her husband's will) in Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut

They had five children: Abraham, Hannah Kilborn, Mary, Jonathan, & Hester. Jacobus included in his account of this family a listing of children who were treated on one day in 1658 by John Winthrop Junior, comprising children by all three of his wives, as well as children of his second and third wives by their first husbands. This list omits the daughter Susannah, who was in the original. The Winthrop medical records also contain a similar list from about a year earlier, and many other entries on this family, many, but not all, of which are incorporated in the present treatment.

These lists of children treated by Winthrop provide part of the evidence identifying the second and third wives of William Hills. In the probate of the estate of Richard Risley, on 7 December 1648, William Hills is required to post bond for the payment of legacies to the Risley children and to provide for their education, thus completing the identification of the second wife of William Hills. In the case of the third wife, we have the bequest in the will of ANDREW WARNER, on 18 June 1681, of ten shillings to "my daughter Hills"
