    Furthermore it is not known whether she was married in Germany before her husband’s immigration in 1741, or afterwards in Pennsylvania.
  • Note: The 1767 will of Jacob Hill makes a bequest for his wife, but does not name her. The bequest was for "my house furniture and one cow and the interest of five hundred pounds".3
  • Note: Administration Bond Estate of Catharine Hill deceased, dated 10 May 1790
    "John Kirlin of Amity Township Berks Co. son-in-law of Catharina Hill late of Berks County, widow deceased..."
