" Baptisms : — 1598, Sept. 17, Jane Hills.
1600, Oct. 12, Robarge Hills.

1601-2, April G, Elizabeth Hills.
1603, April 8, Blanche Hylls.
1603-4, March 4, Marye Hills.
1606, June 1, Thomas Hills ye sonne of Thomas Hills and Jane his wife.
[The register is signed by Thomas Hills, churchwarden.]
1608, Dec. 27, William Hilles the sone of Thomas Hilles and Jane his wife.
1610-11, March 1, Anthony s. of Thomas Hill [s].
"As there is good reason to believe that William Hills, of Hartford, was born about the year 1609, as his first wife Phillis Lyman, was born in : 1611, at High Ongar, as the nearest point of High Ongar to the nearest of Upminster, is only four miles, and as this is the first William Hills of I the right date I have found from one end of Essex to the other, and as he had a brother Thomas as always supposed, there seems no valid reason for doubting that the above is the long sought William Hills of Hartford. . . . William Hills has appeared incidentally in the reports I sent you ; viz.. Arch deaconry of Essex No. E. 62, Will of Richard Hills of Hornchurch, 1623, where he gives the entail conditionally to William Hills son of Thomas Hills, of Upminster. Again Rabergia Hills, sister of William and Thomas, died intestate and unmarried in 1634, and administration was granted to a sister, Elizabeth Helder. If the brothers had gone off to New England in 1632, this is made quite natural. There are many other points of corroboration in the register which I will refer to later on. . . ."
