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.
