"Roger Hill is Riverview's only Revolutionary War soldier burial. Born in Connecticut in 1755 he married Elizabeth Farwell in 1782 and shortly thereafter they moved to Vermont. He and his wife were the parents of 6 children. He joined the Union army and was a fighter at Ticonderoga with Ethen Allen's Green Mountain Boys. Later with Ethen Allen's brother, he became a privateer, one of a crew attacking King George's navy and shipping with letters of authorization from the Continental Congress. Captured - he spent 8 months as a prisoner of war in Bermuda. Buried originally at Flats Cemetery in New Manchester, he was later moved to Riverview."
