HILLS.
(Supplementary to Genealogy of Daniel Hills, page 174.)
DANIEL HILLS d. at N. March 23, 1813. He was the author of the fol- lowing curious will, written Dec. 16, 1794, of which I give a part:
"In the name of God, Amen! I, Daniel Hills of Northfield in the County of Rockingham Coopper being somewhat infirm of Body but. of Sound mind and memory and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die, and not knowing how soon it may be my case, do make this my last Will and Testament, and in the first place I humbly give my soul to God my Creator, hoping for Pardon of all my Sins Through the merits of Jesus Christ and my body I recommend to a decent Burial according to the discretion of my Executors hereinafter named hoping in the Redemption to Eternal Life.

"Witnesses JAOM HERSEY THOMAS GILICAN
DANIEL HILLS
"Item N. B. .
"I give devise after my Decease all my wearing apparrel to my four Sons equally divided among them except my silver Shoe Buckles and Knee Buckles I give to my executor"
After all this loving care and forethought, she survived him only one year, dying May 6, 1814. It is not known where they were buried, probably on the farm.
.(Supplementary to record of John Hills, page 175.)
JOHN HILLS (second line), should say probably the first years of his majority were spent elsewhere. He was noted for his firmness and strict integrity. He had some peculiar ideas of finance and did not rely on the market reports to regulate his price of farm products. He used to say "a bushel of corn was worth a dollar to him-no more- no less." If others sold for 75 cents he waited; if it was selling for $1.25 he did not change. In 1815 he had a very large crop and not one bushel did he sell, as the market price was only 75 cents. The next year, 1816, was the memorable year when there was snow or frost every month and crops were almost entirely cut off. Uncle John had a large quantity of corn left over, but ignoring the law of supply and demand his price was $1, same as ever. No one could buy but a bushel at a time and that not to sell again. Seed for the poor farmers was a great blessing at so low a price and he was satisfied.
