Source:Snow, Nora Emma. Snow-Estes Ancestry, p. 235-8, prints the will of "Joseph Hills late of Malden now of Newbury", dated 14 Sep 1687, which does not name a daughter Abigail, and p. 239, the author does not include this Abigail in this family. Source:Whittemore, Henry. Genealogical Guide to the Early Settlers of America, p. 255, shows this Abigail born to a different "Joseph Hill", than the one of Malden.
