      "A John Hill was taxed in Dover NH the 8th of the 10th month, 1639. JohnHill of Dover in 1659 deposed tht he was about 35 years of age, bornabout 1624, and would be only 15 years of age in 1639. If born in 1624 hewould have become of age in 1645, and so would well correspond to theJohn Hill who was admitted as freeman in Boston in that year. John Hillof Dover had a wife, Elizabeth, and John Hill of Boston married ElizabethStrong, 16 January 1656. The births of his children, so far as is known,indicate that the John of Boston was the John of Dover. It is probablethat his father, the first John Hill mentioned above, acquired land inDover and was taxed for it in 1639; that he returned to Boston and diedin 1647; that his son John Hill inherited land of his father in Dover andwas taxed for it in 1650; tht he married Elizabeth Strong in Boston in1656 and settled in Dover at once, where he was taxed in 1657 and isoften mentioned until 1685.

      John Hill lived in that part of Dover called Oyster River, now Durham,NH. He was a grand juryman in 1668 and in 1671."
