Sent from Tom Howard 18 January 2006 (via email): History of the Town of Goshen, CT based upon the records of Deacon Lewis Mills Norton, by Rev. A.G. Hibbard, A.M., 1897, Press of the Case, Lockwood and Brainard Co.;

p. 42, 19 Feb 1735: James Wadsworth Esq. sold his one third part of 300 acres "Esquires Farm" to Ebenezer, Luke Jr., and Isaac Hill of Wallingford for 80 pounds. On 9 Feb 1737 the Hills bought the rest of the tract and divided it among themselves. Luke Hill Jr. of Wallingford sold his third to Benjamin Frisbee of Wallingford in June of 1737.

Page 44, the first white child born in Goshen was a son of Isaac Hill born in 1738/9, named Bilous Hill. Bilous married Lydia Birge 9 Aug 1758. They had three children of which the son died and the daughters survived. Proprietors records Book 1, p. 296 dated 5 Dec 1770 names heirs of Isaac Hill. Bilous had removed to Woodbury in about 1762. First death in Goshen- Huldah, dau. of Ebenener and Martha Dibble Hill, born in Wallingford Nov 15 1736 and died in Goshen on Sep 6 1737.

Page 357- Uri Hill was born in Wallingford and died in Goshen of smallpox on Dec 29 1766. He contracted the disease while buying goods in N.Y. His house was on the west sided of West Street about 20 rods south of the family graveyard at the place where the road leaves West Street for Town Hill. He had a thriving business, but had weak health and a feeble constitution. From the books of Nathaniel Stanley it appears he was trading as early as August of 1759. [This is Tom Howard's wife’s line. This Uri was Keziah Hill’s brother.]
