Note: The birth date above is actually date of baptism, so birth would have been earlier. The death year comes from Find-a-grave contributor Nathan Hills.

John was the son of Daniel Hills and Mabel Webster of East Hartford, Connecticut. He was married in Glastonbury, CT 1 July 1787 to Ruth SMITH, b. Glastonbury 4 Aug 1768, d. North River, Warren, NY 23 April 1853, the daughter of Isaac Smith and Ruth Hollister. Following his father's 1782 death, John was assigned Job Risley as his guardian. John is found on the 1790, 1800, and 1810 censuses in Glastonbury, CT, but cannot be definitely found after that. Nor can his widow be found in 1820. However, in 1830 and 1840 his widow was living with their daughter Roxanna and her husband, Hiram Graves, in Hartford, Washington Co., NY. Also, his widow, Ruth, appears on the 1850 census in Hartford, NY aged 81 with daughter Roxanna Graves, 47, Hiram Graves, 47, and Mary Minton, 14.. Ruth is buried with a grave marker in the North River Cemetery, Warren Co., NY.

That John is buried here comes from a family record that three of the brothers of Levi Hills (Nathan, Reuben, and John) went to Hartford, NY where they lived and were buried. No dates were given.
