the year 1642 a man named Robert Hill came to Virginia from England with his wife Mary. Some researchers say that Robert was the son of Samuel Hill (in England), who was a member of the so called Sir John Hill Family. This has by no means been proven or documented. In that family, Ralph Hill, a son of Samuel, is said to have emmigrated into New England, while Robert, the younger brother of Ralph Hill, is said to have come to Virginia. As stated above, no connection between Samuel and Robert Hill has been proven. Other researchers say that Robert was the son of Thomas Hill (1565-1635) and had a brother named William (1608-1683). Will, who married Jane Scarborrow from Upminisnnster Co., Essex, England, came to Hartford Conn. in 1634. He was Captain of Malitia.

In 1654 a son was born to Robert and Mary Hill. They named him "Sion", meaning Eternal Heaven, in memory of their new found "Home Land". The new peace and love of their new home to last their lifetime as their grandson was also named Sion to carry this memory for the rest of their lives.

Greer's 'Early Imigrants to Virginia' refers to Stephen Webb as the possible father of Mary Webb. In 1653 Robert Hill and Mary Webb acquired land from George Arthur in Virginia.

Comments:
This was about 134 years before the Colonies became the United States of America, after the Revolution.
