William was a " housewright." He was b. in Ipswich, Mass., whence he removed to West Boxford, where he m. Martha Pinder, and from there he went to Ashford, Conn., late in the^ear 1748. He purchased a farm of four hundred acres which he divided among his sons. Martha was admitted to the church by letter, January 24, 1749, but it does not appear that William ever became a member, though he liberally sustained the local institutions of religion. Martha was a granddaughter of John Pynder, of Pynder, England, "a Soldier in y' Ccunirie's Service." and a subscriber to the futd for the services of Major Dennison in King Philip's War. She was the great-granddaughter of Henry Pynder, who with his wife Mary sailed for America from London in the ship Susan and Ellen, 1635. Said Henry was a lineal descendant of the Pynders oC Lincoln County, England, to whom the following arms were granted in 153.?, as registered in the Herald's College, London : ( "Azure, a chevron between three lions' heads, erased argent, guttae

de po'x, ducally crowned or. Crest, a lion's head erased or, ducally

crowned azure."

William d. in Ashford, March 13, 1753. and Martha m. 2d Colonel Dean of Taunton, and removed there.

Page 49, No. 197. William and Martha Pinder. She was dau. of Theophilus Pinder, who with his wife gave deeds of land to William and Martha Knowlton, March 22, 1735, " in consideration of affection " ; and also in 1745-8. William removed to Ashford, Conn., May, 1748, not " late in the year 1748." Martha was admitted to the church in Ashford, from the church in Bradford, Mass. (near Boxford), July 27, 1749, not January 24. There being no church in West Boxford until 1736, their chil. were probably bap. in the church at Bradford. Theophilus Pinder is buried in Ashford, near the grave of William Knowlton. Corrected statement of 9 chil. of William and Martha, arranged more in accordance with dates of birth, as follows :

Thomas Hills

Biography Thomas Hills he doesn't have a wikitree profile, shall i create one? See Hills-2175

The sum of our positive knowledge

"Thomas HIlls a man servant. he came in the yeare. 1633. he lived among us in good esteeme & Godly, & dyed about the 11t or 12t month. 1634 and left a good savor behind him, he was a very faithfull & prudent servant, & a good christian; he dyed in mr Eliots family." [1]

Possibilities

Savage suggested that Thomas Hills and William Hills, both in Roxbury, Massachusetts in the 1630s may have been brothers.[2]

One possibility is that they were children of Thomas and Jane (Scarborrow) Hills of Upminster, Essex, England. Their son Thomas was baptized 1 Jun 1606. William was baptized in 1608.[3][4][5]

Research Notes:

  • No Church Records Index for Bethel at Ancestry. I called the state library and Bethel's Cong. Ch. Records were never indexed.
  • Manual of the Congregational Church in Bethel, Conn., May 16, 1887 : containing historical sketch, articles of faith, the covenant and rules of the church, with a catalogue of officers and members from its foundation, November 25, 1760. See p. 20
  • I looked for women named Ruth in the above Manuel. There was a Ruth w/o Nathaniel Hoyt but he died 1766 and she died 1769 - buried in the cemetery. confirmed on Find a Grave.
  • CT Church records abstracts, whole state, don't contain a likely Ruth Smith marrying or dying.
  • Barbour Collections, whole state, has no likely marriages for Ruth Smith. or deaths for a Ruth Smith.

Thinking out Loud William White etc.

From Comments GM on John Jackson. https://www.americanancestors.org/DB394/i/0/27/0 29 Mar 1659. John Prockter Jr was fined. for reviling speeches [EQC 2:153]. Two people said that Goodman white referred to "my son Prockter [EQC 2:153-4]. Anderson says this would be William White of Ipswich who m. the widow of John Jackson.

John proctor jr would have married his 1st wife by about 1653.

Martha Proctor w/o John d. 13 June 1659. Could be the wife of Sr but Anderson concluedes the wife of Jr.

So how is William father of JP jr.?
A) stepfather but JP sr is still alive so no.
B) father or step father of JPjr's wife
C) 1. William had an earlier wife? (than widow Jackson) Children? One of whom m. JPjr
C) 2. Stepfather of JPjr's wife, which would make her an unplaced d/o John Jackson.
Anderson said more research needed.

John Proctor Jr (d.1692). name overseers Brother White & Joseph Proctor my Brother. Not William White. probably James White, who witnessed to John's state of mind. He married Martha Proctor sister of John. Which makes them brothers.

RICHARD SMITHs Savage is the base.

RICHARD, Taunton 1638, one of the first purch. was from Gloucestersh. may be the man, wh. went to R. I. the next yr. and some yrs. aft. was the promin. man on the main, hav. a large trad. ho. in the Narraranset land, perhaps two, North Kingston and Wickford, purch. of the sachem in 1641, and this, in my opin. led to tak. side against Gorton and his assoc. wh. bot. of other sachems a principality of Showamet, or Warwick, to the Northward of Smith, wh. made Arnold and comp. of Providence cry out against G. and his friends, wh. preach. bad doctrines in the judgment of Mass. people, and thence in the summer came the cruel, if not perfidious, slaughter of Miantinomo, head of both parties of the Ind. and next the relig. war of 1643 against Gortonism. For his knowledge Smith was employ. with others, in Oct. 1643 "to fetch the cattle from Providence," being the plunder our forces took with the misbelieving prisoners. Comp. Col. Rec. II. 43 with Winthrop II. 84 and 142-8. In that wide estate, aft. a brief trial at Newtown, L. I. he enjoy. gr. esteem forty yrs. as sovereign of all Misquamicuck, Caucumsquissic, and Pettaquamscut, was honor. with a commiss. as chief magistr. from Conn. 1671, as he had support. their rights against the claims of Providence, wh. were favor. by the royal commiss. in 1665. His s. of the same name was made constable there 1663, when the Conn. Counc. dignif. his neighborhood with the town rights of Wickford; but the ultimate decision of the disput. title, in the highest tribunal at home, went contrary to both Mass. and Conn.
Andersons' Richard 1637
his son. RICHARD, Wickford, call. jun. 1663, s. of Richard the first, purch. Hog Isl. in Narraganset Bay, was one of the Counc. of Sir Edmund Andros. See Hutch. I. 354 in note. His will, of 16 Mar. 1691, call. hims. of Rochester in the King's Prov. at Narraganset, allows us to suppose, that he had no ch. for it gives all the income of his various est. to his w. for her natural life, and no longer, aft. wh. the whole to kinsmen, Lodowick and Daniel Updike," &c. &;c. for wh. we may care less than to obs. the fact, that the instrum. was pro. by our Gov. Sir William Phips, 12 July 1692, only tuo or three days prior to devolv. that office upon Stoughton.
RICHARD, Wethersfield 1648, then hav. full grown childr. of wh. Mary m. that yr. Matthias Treat, was involv. in the controv. with his min. 130 Russell, that caus. the rem. l6O9, of many of the parish, and founda. (by R. and his friends) of Hadley; but if not d. he was too old to rem. and contin. at W. His s. Richard's name is on the list of freem. 1669, and his d. Esther m. John Strickland; Beriah m. Richard Fox; and Bethia m. 15 Aug. 1684, Joshua Stoddard. Other ch. were Jonathan, wh. he estab. in est. as early as 1662; Samuel; Joseph; and Benjamin. But I ought to add, that these ch. are by Chapin reckon. gr. ch. of the first sett. of 1648, and progeny of his s. Richard. With him I agree, tho. not to receive the result of his testim. in 1684 when he tells of coming from the Vineyard "30 or 40 yrs. ago," yet ment. no f. Perhaps we may resolve that Richard jr. whose ch. are here refer. to, and whose will of 1680 could not have effect bef. 4 July 1690, when is notic. The first d. in W. of any Richard, was s. of the chief man of the town. But, for a season, sev. yrs. bef. 1673, there was only one, tho. three bef. R. S. at W. and of wills or est. in prob. there is only one exc. the insolv. R. S. call. of Hartford.
Same as Wethersfield? RICHARD, New London 1652, came from the Vineyard, but soon rem. to Wethersfield, there, says Caulkins, call. senr. and we can hardly doubt that he is the promin. Richard of W.

RICHARD, Ipswich 1642, as Farmer's MS. has it, without a word of add. but it is kn. there was one of the name there 1678. He may have been s. of Richard of Shropham, Co. Norf. short dist. from E. Harling.
