Daniel Hills was likely the one of his name baptized in Hartford 9 March 1728/9, son of John Hills and Margaret Dix. This is the conclusion reached by Donald Lines Jacobus in his extensive work Hale, House and Families of the Connecticut River Valley (1954?).
Daniel married c. 1755 Mabel Webster, b. E. Hartford 29 July 1735, d. Hartford, CT 1 Nov 1786, the daughter of Jonathan Webster and Mabel Risley. I've seen no document showing that Daniel's wife was a Webster, but there is evidence that this is so. The guardian of one of the children of Daniel and Mabel, John Hills, was Job Risley, who was a brother-in-law of Mabel (Job Risley, Jr. married Mary Webster, a sister of Mabel).
The administration of Daniel's estate took place on 24 Jan 1783, and the documents name his wife Mabel; sons Levi, Nathan, Reuben, John, Joshua, and Moses; and daughter Sarah. The administrators were his son Levi Hlls and Thomas Risley, both of Glastonbury; appraisers were Silas Hills and Henry Treat. Daniel's widow, Mabel, lived only a few years after his death. She is NOT the widow Mabel Hills who married in 1796 Col. Jonathan Wells; that person is Mabel (Stanley) Hills, the widow of Jonathan Hills who was a contemporary of Daniel with children born at about the same time. Children of Daniel and Mabel, all born in E. Hartford, CT:
* Mabel, bapt 23 May 1756, not mentioned in father's 1783 administration, probably died young
* Nathaniel, bapt. 13 Nov 1757, not named in father's 1783 administration
* Levi, bapt 6 May 1759, m. Olle HOLLISTER and moved to Berlin, Vermont about 1800. They are buried there in the East Road Cemetery.
* Nathan, b. 21 Nov and bapt 30 Nov 1760, d. Hartford, NY 5 Sep 1811, m. Jerusha RISLEY, b. 27 Aug 1760, d. 26 Feb 1824, daughter of Nathaniel Risley and Ruth Cadwell. On 30 Jan 1788 Nathan was appointed guardian to his younger brother, Moses. Nathan and Jerusha are buried in Old Hartford Cemetery, Washington Co., New York.
* Reuben, bapt 9 May 1762, d. Hartford, NY 3 March 1818, m. 12 July 1787 Huldah RISLEY, b. Glastonbury, CT 19 May 1762, d. Hartford, NY 4 March 1835, sister of Jerusha, above. They are buried in Old Harford Cemetery, Washington Co., NY.
* John, bapt 25 Dec 1763, m. Glastonbury 1 July 1787 Ruth SMITH
*Joshua, bapt 19 May 1765, m. (1) Glastonbury, CT 2 Sep 1785 Azubah "Zeuby" SIMONDS; m. (2) 1819 Sarah _______.
* Sarah, b. c. 1767. Following her father's death, Thomas Slater became her guardian. She is NOT the Sarah Hills born in E. Hartford 16 July 1767--that Sarah was a daughter of Ashbel Hills. She MAY have been the Sarah Hills who died in Manchester, Hartford Co., CT on 2 June 1846, aged 80. She apparently did not marry. She has not been found on any census records.
* Aaron, bapt 11 June 1769, not named in father's 1783 administration. He is likely the one who m. Glastonbury, CT 21 Nov 1790 Asenah SMITH, HOWEVER, there is also an Aaron Hills, son of Ebenezer, who was baptized in E. Hartford 25 Feb 1770. Online accounts say that the subject Aaron (who married Asena(t)h, is the one on the 1800, 1810, 1820, and 1830 censuses for East Hartford, and died there 11 Sep 1837. The administration bond on his estate was dated 4 Oct 1837, and the inventory on 11 Oct. All well and fine, EXCEPT his widow named in the division of his estate is named LUCY. There is no mention of Lucy in any online accounts. So, we have some unresolved issues concerning Aaron. I'm wondering if none of this stuff pertains to Aaron, the son of Daniel, because he wasn't named in his father's estate, and may have died young.
* Moses, b. c. 1771, m. (1) c. 1792 Anne ________, b. 1773, d. 5 Sep 1793, buried Eastbury Cem., Glastonbury. He m. (2) Glastonbury, CT March 1795 Lucy GOODALE, b. 1757, d. 15 Oct 1800 and is buried in the Eastbury Cem., Glastonbury. He m. (3) c. 1801 Hepsibeth b. 1759, d. 14 Feb 1848, aged 89. He was aged 17 on 30 Jan 1788 when his brother Nathan was chosen as his guardian. Moses is buried with his last wife in the Buckingham Cemetery in Glastonbury, CT.
