Probably named after the father of his father. Nothing further known. Most believe that he died young. Definetely not mentioned in the will of his father or his mother.
A record exists showing that a William Hillerd from Little Compton had service in the Sir William Phips' Expedition to Canada in 1690. It shows that under Capt. Samuel Gallup, a body of about 60 men sailed from Plymouth in five Shallops. This battle was won at the expense of many lives. Could one of the lives lost be this William Hillard? If not then, then the participant was his father at the age of 50 years.

Probably named after the father of his mother (John Warren). Nothing further known. Most believe that he died young. Definetely not mentioned in the will of his father or his mother.

David and Johanna moved from Little Compton to Stonington after the birth of their second child in OCT 1702 and before the birth of their third child in OCT 1703. They were active in the First Congretational Church (Road Church) of Stonington. Their children were all christened there. David was elected Selectman in 1714 and 1715. He was also active in the Town Militia, as the ammunition and weapons were stored in his household.

After the death of Johanna, David returned with his family to Little Compton, where he married Susannah Luther. In little Compton, David obtained the military rank of Captain in the Indian wars. His occupation appeared to be that of a carpenter because he is mentioned many times for receiving payment for constructing wooden items such as caskets, collection plates and ammunition storage chests, etc.

William moved from Little Compton, Newport Co., RI to Stonington where he farmed his father's homestead. He also was active in the real estate business.

Following is recorded the sale of the Hillard homestead in Stonington by David Hillard to his son William Hillard. Stonington Land Records. Book 6, page 145. 1743, 17th of December.

". . . in consideration of 900 pounds . . . unto sd William Hillard . . . a certain parcel or tract of land situate and lying in Stonington being ninety five acres more or less, beginning at a wallnut tree standing on the south side of Cousadok hill on the north side of a brook, and from thence running East and by North 80 rods to a black oak tree marked on four sides and from thence upon a straight line to a white oak tree markt on four sides, which tree, being the southeast corner of land laid out to James Dean, and from thence easterly to a black oak tree standing by the side of a rock being the northwest corner tree of Thomas Shaws land, then running southwardly by sd Shaws land to a chestnut tree marked, from thence running southwardly by Magduells land to a burch tree marked on four sides, from thence by Magduels land to a heap of stones, and then westerly by Magduels land to a white oak tree marked on four sides, from thence westardly by Jones land ten rods to a black oak tree marked on four sides, and from thence a straight line to the first bounds mentioned. . . . ."

". . . in consideration of the sum of four hundred pounds . . unto the said William Hillard, Junr. . . two certain tracts or parcells of land, with a Dwelling House thereon Standing, Lying in said Stonington aforesaid containing by Estimation About One Hundred and Eighty five acres and be the same more or less, with a Highway Running through the Premises & is Butted and Bounded as follows (viz) The first lot on which the House stands is Bounded as Follows (viz) Beginning at a Black Oak tree the NorthWest corner of said William Williams land thence westerly with the land belonging to the heirs of Robert Coats Deceased to a White Oak tree the northwest corner of the premises standing in the line of Jesse Billings land thence southerly with the said Jesse Billings land on the west till it comes to a heap of stones by the side of a brook thence westerly with said Jesse Billings land and ____ Charles Phelps land on the northeast till it comes to a walnut tree standing in the line of Collins Yorks land thence east 39° south 75 rods to a ____ stone, thence east 9 rods to a birch tree, thence east 27° & 1/2 north 84 rods to a ____ stone thence east 6° south 56 rods to the north bound of the highway in Jeremiah Brownings line, thence northerly with said Brownings land and Wm.

William Hillard

William left no will. From land transactions we learn that he had a son William, but little else can be discovered about his children. I am including the remaining children because I can not find their parentage and it is highly possible that they are daughters of William (Barbour thought it was a possibility also.). He was chosen as guardian by his nephew Isaac, son of Jonathan and Abigail (Wilbore) Hillard.

Inscription: "In memory of Mary ye wife of William Shaw died August ye 8th 1740 in ye 23d year of her age"

Joshua left Little Compton and probably moved to Stonington, CT, where additional children (unrecorded) were probably born: Benjamin, Richmond, Luther and Lucy. Later, Richmond, Luther and Lucy are found in Cornish, NH, where it was believed they were siblings of Samuel. Undoubtedly true since, Richmond was the maiden name of Esther's paternal grandmother and Luther was the maiden name of Joshua's mother. Benjamin is thought to be a son because it is known that Benjamin arrives in Preston ca 1767 while the land records show that Joshua buys land in Preston in 1768. Also, Joshua's daughters, Mary and Elizabeth appeared to have married in Preston and the first three children of his son, Samuel were born in Preston.

Esther was admitted to full comunnion on this date as a widow.

Colonel David Hillard resided in Little Compton as he evidently owned the farm north of the Nathaniel Church place and the one owned by George C. G. Brown. His will, recorded in Little Compton, book 5, page 44, made 14, MAR 1810 and proved 5 AUG 1816.

"To son David all the notes I have against him, my silver watch and 30 dollars, besides the household goods that I have given him. To son Samuel that farm whereon he now dwells which I bought of Samuel Gray, called the Carr farm and also the farm I bought of Oliver Hillard bounded west on the highway, south on Andrew Taylor, east on the northeast corner of the Andrew Taylor land with all the buildings and blacksmith tools and bellows. To each of my daughters; Susannah Earl, Priscilla Earl, Mary Brownell and Anna Pearce 30 dollars each; to daughter Betsey Hoxie 30 dollars, she being a widow. To them all my household goods. To grandson William Hillard, son of my son Jonathan, deceased, all my homestead farm except lot I gave to son Samuel. To grandson Benone Hillard, son of Jonathan, deceased, 300 dollars. To daughter Susannah Hillard, wife of Jonathan, deceased, use of my great chamber and my pew in the meeting house. I give my black woman, Kate her freedom after my decease.

"Alse Lake was probably born 1 JUN 1721 the daughter of John Lake and Susanna Case. Her brother James Lake came to Beekman. After their first two children who were born in Swansea they later removed to the Dover area of the Beekman Patent. Barner Carpenter was taxed in Beekman from 1759 through 1762 (Baptist Church records indicate that he remained through at least 1766) with an assessment of $1 in 1760. The History of Dover Township states that Barabus Carpenter was one of the first organizers of the Dover Baptist Church. Alse Carpenter joined the Dover Church 12 SEP 1761 and a Sarah Carpenter, probably the daughter, joined the church 9 DEC 1764."

Norwich, March 21st 1742/3. This may Certife sd John Hylliard minor fourteen years of age son to Jonathan Hylliard Late of Stonington decec'd personally appeared and made Choice of Mr. Ephraim Kingsbury of Norwich to be his Guardian. Jabez Hide, Justice of peace
John's parents died when he was fourteen years of age. It appears that John went to Norwich to live with his cousin Joseph but possibly Joseph was not well enough (he died soon after) and recommended Ephraim Kingsbury to be his guardian. Following document is on record:

John and Elizabeth resided in New Concord Society (Preston), New London, CT. where he was baptized with his three eldest children, and with his wife owned the Church covenant, 12 SEP 1762. John, at an early date, settled in Manchester, Bennington Co., VT. About the year 1790 he came to Danby.

In reference [3:109] it is given that he died 24 JAN 1731/1732. That is the death of Ambrose.

The Barbour Collection has John dying Stonington, 24 JAN 1731/2. This date was actually the date that the next son, Ambrose, died. This has been very confusing to persons doing genealogy on the descendants of John and Elizabeth (Smith) Hillard. Apparently Mr. Barbour kept his information on cards with the birth on the front and the death on the back. The above error came about when the card of John and Ambrose stuck together.

The following inserted in the Stonington Records.

Henry Hillard "of Stonington, Connecticut made a deed dated 30 APR 1770 to 'my nephew Dyer Fitch of Richmont in the county of Berkshire and in the province of Massachusetts Bay in New England in America.' This deed was executed in Great Barrington, Mass. See Berkshire County and land records. Middle district, Pittsfield, v.8, p. 88." Signed Col. Arthur C. Rogers, 1886 E. 97th St. Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 18, 1925.

Isaac was commissioned in 1st Battalion, Connecticut State troops to serve from NOV 1776 to MAR 1777. Resided in Stratford Co., then Redding Co., CT. He was a poet of local celebrity and espoused the cause of the people and was a Whig. Following is a review of a pamphlet that he published by a traducer, the "New England Republican" of 29 AUG 1804.
'ISAAC HILLIARD, a wretched vagabond, originally of Reading, in Fairfield Co., has lately published a large pamphlet, in which he warmly advocates the cause of democracy. To criticise such a work, one must sink himself to a level with the author; that is, he must become an idiot, or a lunatic, or a brute. The composition is just about on a level with Peter St. John;s poetry. The pitiable but wrong- headed writer is now busied in hawking his pamphlets about the streets. He presents them to every man whom he is not afraid to insult, and tells those to whom he delivers them, to pay him twenty- five cents each, if they like the work; otherwise to return it. Never was a man better fitted to any cause than Hilliard to democracy; and never was a cause better adapted to the man engaged in it than democracy to Hilliard."
The pamphlet referred to above, entitled the Rights of Suffrage and "a brief examination would force one to conclude that, however brilliant a poet Mr. Hilliard may have been, he was not a master of prose. His nouns, adjectives, nominatives, and verbs are so co-mingled, that it is difficult to separate them; but in his preface Mr. Hilliard observes that he has written for persons of limited education, and had not therefore adopted a lofty and flourishing style-a fact which explains, perhaps, the somewhat ungrammatical construction of his sentences." An extract from his poem The Federal Pye is presented. It was used to open the proceedings of a Federal "caucus".

"BRETHREN, I know you see my tears,
The strong expression of my fears.
There's no one here that is a stranger-
Then every one must know our danger.
Poor people all begin to see
Their rights are gone, they are not free;
Some wicked men espouse their cause,
And say they're lost by cruel laws.
They have found out, as sure as death,
That they are taxed for their breath.
I am very sorry that our youth
Should ever find out so much truth;
The poor old men now make a noise
And say we tax all their boys
Somehow or other, those poor souls
Find other States don't tax their polls.
They say 'tis cruel, and a sin
To pay for breath which they breathe in-
And now they all set up this note,
If they pay taxes they will vote:
They say they've found what we're about-
We taxed their polls and left ours out.
That faculties, and the poll tax
They wish were under the French axe,
Together with all those that like 'em,
Why, they might just as well have said
They wished all Federal rulers dead.
The poor will rise in every nation
When they are drove to desperation."
Etc., etc.

It is said that he was a soldier of the Revolution, and participated in the battles of Bunker Hill and Bennington. He supposedly served as a drummer in Capt. Joshua Hayward's company, Col. David Gilman's regiment, New Hampshire militia. They resided in Preston, New London Co., CT, then Cornish. After his settlement in Cornish, he helped organize the Cornish Baptist Church in 1789, and was one of its first deacons. On 3 JUL 1792, the church expressed their approbation that "Deacon Hilliard improve his gift in public." He soon after became as popular as a Baptist preacher, but after some years his religious views changed and he became a Universalist, and as such was settled as pastor in Shrewsbury and Wallingford, VT, and finally at Clarendon, VT, where he died. His remains were brought to Cornish and buried besides those of his wife, Phoebe, in a lot, that in 1910 was an open pasture belonging to Freeman A, Johnson.

Have not been able to determine parentage of Benjamin. His parents have to be one of the following: Benoni and Martha (Lord) Hillard; or Joshua and Esther (Burgess) Hilliard; or David (son of Jonathan and Abigail (Wilbore) Hillard); or Azariah (son of Jonathan and Abigail (Wilbor) Hillard). Most likely, Joshua and Esther (Burgess) Hillard because of his residence of Preston and because most of Joshua's children born in probably Preston were not recorded.

Benjamin served as sergeant in Captain Mott's company, raised for the defense of New London Harbor, 1776.

At one time I believed he was the probable son of Benoni and Martha (Lord) Hillard. That was proven to be false. Hence, now I believe that he is the possible son of Joshua and Esther (Burgess) Hillard.

In 1810 census of Renssalaer County, NY has a David Hilliard, 01101-12001

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer, 18 SEP 1927. Ancestral Exchange, by Roger Waldridge.

"The leading article last week told of a search which was successful after many years. This week shows the reverse of the medal- a quest, so far unsuccessful, for the ancestry of Richard Hilliard, pioneer merchant, ninth 'president' of the village of Cleveland, father of Cleveland's waterworks system, joint promoter of the first railway connecting Cleveland and Cincinnati.

The obituary in the Plain Dealer of December 22, 1856, stated he was a native of Vermont. Other accounts, for which authority is not shown, but which are accepted by descendants as in line with family tradition, state that he was born in Chatham, Columbia County, New York, July 4, 1800, son of David Hilliard and his wife Lydia, daughter of Elisha and Susannah (Brigham) Hudson, of Marlborough, Massachusetts; that David Hilliard died about 1814, and that Richard had an older brother living in Skaneateles, New York, and a sister Sarah, who married Orlando Cutter of Cleveland.

What do the official records show? First, let us orient ourselves. Columbia county, created out of Albany county in 1786, lies directly south of Rensselaer county. Chatham was created in 1795 out of parts of Canaan and Kinderhook. It lies in the northern part of Columbia county, not far from Nassau, Rensselaer.

The census of 1790 shows David Hilliard as head of a family numbering one 'free white male of 16 years and upward, including heads of family,' two males under 16 and four females. Search of the county records disclosed nothing as to David Hilliard's origin. The probate record at Troy show that David Hilliard, late of Nassau, died prior to 28 JUN 1813, on which date his widow Lydia Hillard, then of Chatham, relinquished her right to administer her signature being witnessed by Clarissa Hillard; and that William Hillard, in his application for letters of administration, stated that he was the eldest son, and that there were five other children, of whom one, 'a female,' was of adult age. The records of the Dutch Church of Nassau show the marriage June 6, 1811, of Lydia Hillard to David Wickham, Jr.

These are not many facts to build upon. At least we can construct the family of David Hilliard: Lydia, his widow; William, eldest son and administrator; Clarissa, of age in 1813; David of Skaneateles (Onondago County land records); Lydia, wife of David Wickham, Jr.; Richard and Sarah, later of Cleveland. But of the origin of David (1) there was not found the semblance of a record.

Descendants of the early Massachusetts Hilliards, reordered under a dozen variants of the name, were located in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island.

William Hilliard of Duxbury, Massachusetts, founded the Rhode Island family, whereof scions settled in Stonington, Connecticut; and some of their descendants migrated to New Hampshire and Vermont. Local records at all the likely places were searched; one David after another was eliminated until the sole remaining possibility of all those found was David Hilliard, born in Stonington, Connecticut, February 17, 1767, son of Isaac and Victory (Coats) [Victoria Coates].

This David would have been 23 years old in 1790. Lydia (Hudson) Hilliard, if she was an unrecorded daughter of Elisha and Susannah (Brigham) Hudson, might have been 18 in 1790. Their ages were in line; but both were too young to have had the family accredited to David Hilliard of Canaan by the census of 1790, though some of Lydia's younger brothers and sisters may have made up the number recorded as of the household. Here, at least, was a possibility.

But opposed to this are the following facts; Isaac and Victory disappear from the Stonington records; the census of 1790 shows an Isaac Hilliard, in Ashford, [Toland County], Connecticut; and David Hilliard of Ashford married September 20, 1792, Eunice Robinson of Coventry. Alas! After all, it looks very much as if the Isaac and David of Ashford were the husband and son of Victory (Coats) Hilliard of Stonington.

The frequency of Connecticut and Rhode Island surnames in Chatham and Nassau, and the frequency of the baptismal name among the Connecticut and Rhode Island Hilliards, point strongly to the inference that David Hilliard of Chatham was of Connecticut origin. To identify him and to find his origin constitute a problem which may be solved, but which now lies within the realm of mystery.

Paddock Genealogy states that he possibly was the Jonathan who married Ruth Little and resided Dartmouth. The book "Little Compton Families" states that it was different Jonathan who married Ruth Little.

From "The Settlers of the Beekman Patent" by Frank J. Doherty.
He was taxed in Beekman from 1759 through 1761 when he removed to the Northeast Precinct in Dutchess. He was taxed in Kinderhook (then Albany County) in 1779. Catharina Head, widow of his brother Shubal Head, was next to him in 1779. Jonathan Head was next to Michael Shoevelt (Shufelt) on the roll. Jonathan Head was in Kinderhook Town, Columbia County, NY in 1790 between John Shufelt and Baltus Goodemott. There are sevceral real property transactions for him, some as late as 1831(?). No record of wife.

Joseph was taxed in Beekman in 1760. He was then taxed in Northeast Precinct from FEB 1762 to JUN 1973. He left Dutchess County by SEP 1774 when he was taxed in Hardyston Township, Sussex Co., NJ. In 1774 he was listed there with 28 acers of land. In MAY 1780 he was taxed on 30 acres of land, 15 acres improved, 1 log house, 3 horses, 5 horned cattle and 1 hog. He was again taxed in 1781. He served in the Levies under Malcolm during the Revolution.

John was taxed in Beekman from 1759 through 1761 when he removed to Northeast Precinct where he was on the tax roll from FEB 1762 through JUN 1763 and again 1776-1779. John Head sued David Vaughn, Jr. of Beekman in 1763. John Head signed the A of A in Northeast Precinct in 1775 and served as a Private in the Revolution. He appears to have moved to Westchester Co., NY where he was in Stephentown (now Somers) in 1790 between Eleazer Tillitson and Samuel Raynard. He died on a visit to see his son Lovitt. We have no name for his wife but Valeria was a Woolley family name and the Woolley family was in the Dover area.

Shubal seems to have lived near Rhinebeck, in Dutchess County from about 1763 through 1769 when the family went to Kinderhook, Columbia County. Several of his children were baptized at Rhinebeck but he was not taxed in Dutchess County. He was mentioned at the 19 OCT 1775 meeting of the Albany Committee of Correspondence. He and Jonathan Head and three other men had evidently signed a petition against the promotion to Captain of Dorck Gardner on 5 OCT 1775. He was on a roll of the King's Loyal Americans under command of Col. Ebenezer Jessup at La Chine, Canada 12 JAN 1778. He was noted as in hospital. Family tradition affirms that he was a Loyalist and claims he was killed during the Revolution.

He was not taxed in Beekman but was on the rolls for North East Precinct from June 1765 - 1779. George Head was a Mabbett store customer 1761-63 and bought holland, thread and liquor. He was appointed Constable and Collector (of taxes) in North East 5 APR 1774. He signed the A of A in North East precinct in 1775 and was a Captain in the Sixth Regiment of Dutchess County Militia in the Revolution and was granted Land Bounty Rights. He was in North East Town in 1790 at 4-4-4 between Daniel Almsbury and John Jersey. He was involved in several legal actions in DC. Jacob Schermerhorn sued George Head for debt. Nathan Case sued George Head and Thomas Gray. George Head sued Simon I. Cole and Benjamin Van Steinburgh. He was indicted in JULY 1790 DC Court of Oyer & Terminer for perjury. Possibly to avoid this problem he went to Bradford Co., PA by 1793-4 with his family.

[George Head, also from Dutchess county, with a large family, came to Monroe, 1793-'94. Of his children were Alexander, Benjamin, George, John, Samuel and Catharine, the wife of Henry Salisbury, Sr. Mr. Head died about 1800.

After marriage he settled in Newport, RI, and built a house there which was burned by the British in the Revolutionary War. At that time he removed to Pawtucket. His son was born in Newport and possibly his daughters. Later he removed to Norwich, CT, and built on top of Geer Hill a windmill, which he patented.

We have the following quaint record regarding him: "The minister would require attendance upon his church - the Rev. took a poor man cow for the church rates - the Rev. asked Uzziel why he came not to church and he told him that a Rev. who could take a cow that way - would not hear him preach - the Rev. said 'I must say thou art a heathen.' Uzziel replied 'I must say thou art one damned liar." So, to escape imprisonment, he went to North Caroline; came back a strong Abolitionist and never would use anything raised by slave labor. This event was before his marriage.

In a letter written at Elyria, 15 APR 1879, Mrs. Anna N. Finn, a great granddaughter says:
"At the time her father was killed she (Jane) was a child 8 years old and I can well remember the account she used to give of her poor mother's flight with her seven young children to the hills or mountains near Wyoming Valley. So sudden was the surprise and attack of the Indians in the valley that the husband went to the front door to see what caused the alarm and it is supposed was almost instantly killed as he never returned to the house. The widowed mother and her children were concealed for many days in the woods. Her home and contents were burned by the savages and nothing was saved except the clothing they wore. After a time, with some of her children, the mother found her way to Poughkeepsie. She received a kind welcome from friends on the Hudson River and her surviving daughters married well."
They resided Brooklyn, PA.

He was killed in the Wyoming Massacre.

Died young.

"Barnard was born on 21 DEC 1757 in Nine Partners, Dutchess Co., NY. Barnard was married (1) Jane Avery (probably the daughter of Nehemiah Avery, Jr. of Beekman and Nine Partners) on 30 NOV 1784. Jane Avery was born on 17 APR 1765 and died 29 JUL 1787 after having one child. Barnard Carpenter was married (2) by Rev. B. Kelley, Phebe Avery (sister of Jane Avery) on 6 MAR 1788 at Saratoga, Saratoga Co., NY. Phebe was born 29 NOV 1770. Barnard enlisted in the Revolution from Nine Partners and after the war lived in Saratoga, then in 1788 removed to Florida, Montgomery Co., NY. Barnard Carpenter was in Mohawk Town in Montgomery Co., NY in 1790 and was next to Thomas Carpenter and Andrew Kacky. An Augustus Carpenter was close by. Barnard Carpenter was noted in Saratoga Co. wills. Barnard finally settled in Booneville, Oneida Co., NY in 1832 where he died 8 MAY 1834. He was pensioned at $80 per annum and a further pension to his widow was denied because her husband had drawn $80 for three years which was the limit. His widow Phebe stated that her mother's name was also Phebe. The bible record with the pension claim notes a Mary Avery born 13 DEC 1729 whom we have assumed to be her aunt. Children: Rhoda, Jane, Nehemiah, Miranda, Esther, George, Benjamin, Phebe and Hannah."

12. 813. Daniel HILLIARD   b. Abt 1820, Danby, Rutland County, Vermont; d. Aft 1890, Danby, Rutland County, Vermont (probably).

He died young.

He first settled on the farm now (1869) owned by Titus Lyon. He afterwards lived near where the woolen factory stood, which has since been known as the "Hilliard place." He was a soldier of the Revolution, having served quite young, and drew a pension. He was a patriotic man, and always celebrated the Fourth of July with much enthusiasm, and scarcely ever failed to fire off his gun at sunrise on that day. He was a great ball player, a game to which he was greatly attached. He gained his military title by having been a captain in the militia. As a citizen he was trusty, worthy, and honest; and took an active part in the religious interests of the town. He loved peace, and would make almost any sacrifice to maintain it. Although not rich in this world's goods, he was rich in the regard and esteem tendered by his neighbors. He was a Grand Juror three years between the years 1801 and 1816.

He applied for a pension, 1832, from Rutland Co., VT, for services as private, 1779, in Captain Lay's company, Col. William Worthington's regiment of coast guards.

The Barbour Manuscript does not give the place or date. Just that he was 83 when he died in 1847.
