children: John, Hannah born July 30, 1776 Buckingham, Bucks Co., Pennsylvania died February 26, 1798 Danby, Rutland Co., Vermont, Joseph and Esther born August 25, 1780 Buckingham, PA died May 1800 Danby VT
Census records show Aaron Hill and family living in Danby VT 1790, 1800 and 1810. They were members of the Society of Friends.
A large number of the first settlers of Danby were Friends and a meeting for worship was established there in 1780. In August, 1781 Danby Preparative Meeting was established, and in July, 1782 Danby Friends decided to build a new meeting house on two acres of land purchased from Stephen Rogers for fourteen dollars. The "testimony of simplicity" required plainness of dress and speech and a general lack of ostentation. The meeting house was plain and unadorned and in the early years of the nineteenth century no gravestones were allowed.
