    • From PR entry (data transcribed by Frank Watt Tyler, viewable on FamilySearch)
      Shows John Hills married Thomasin Long
      The date and the bride being a Thomasin makes it likely to be the marriage of this John. The reason for it being in Canterbury is unclear, maybe Thomasin was from Canterbury. The functions of Bishop, Archdeacons etc. had been suspended and there were no marriage licences at this time so the usual reason for a marriage in Canterbury was not the case.

      The will of John and Thomazin's son Gabriel show his home as being in Ramsgate. As a young unmarried man this was almost certainly with his mother and siblings.
      Ramsgate was a fishing village; hence it seems probable that his father had been a fisherman or mariner of some sort, and it is likely his brothers were too. Gabriel may not have been the only Hills to lose his life at sea. It may explain why no burial record has been found for his father and some or even all of his brothers.

      "Hills: Augusten Hills & Apphia Jenken mar the 20 January"
      Apphia was shown as a widow when she married Augustine Hills (I think - 'widow' interlined, I think refers to the name below - Apphia - but could be the one above)
      (was it this Augustine or his cousin, bap 1652, who married in 1675? - the fact that the first two children of the marriage were named John and Thomazen, the names of this Augustine's parents, points strongly to this Augustine)
