"Hills _ Apphia Wid: . . . Feb:ry 3d"
(The description of Apphia as a widow is surprising as I thought her husband Augustine died in 1713 or 1718. If he died at a different date I can't find his burial - nor a 2nd candidate to have died in 1713 or 1718. I did consider that her daughter could have married a cousin and then both died young but her daughter seems to have married Stephen Griggs in 1704 and been buried as a Griggs.
At present I am considering this as possibly an error. )

Family 1 John KINGSFORD, b. Abt 1640, d. Between 1664 and 1666 (Age ~ 24 years) Married 1 Dec 1663 St. Margaret’s Church, Canterbury, Kent, England - Place assumed from marriage licence, though in PRs for both St. Lawrence in Thanet and St. Margaret's, Canterbury.
Also, sometimes an entry is in the parish where the couple lived although the marriage took place in Canterbury. It makes sense that John and Apphia might have married in Canterbury after obtaining a licence there, and the marriage also been recorded in St. Lawrence. It would have made no sense for the marriage to be recorded at St. Margaret's it they had married in St. Lawrence.
In St. Margaret's, Canterbury, PRs:
"John Kinsford of St Larance in tenit & Afia Turner of the same des: 1. 1663"
In St. Lawrence PRs:
"John Kingsford and Apthya Turner was Mared by licins Desember the 1 day"
Marriage License 1 Dec 1663 Canterbury, Kent, England - From Cowper:
"Kingsford, John, of S. Lawrence in
Thanet, seaman, ba., 23, whose
parents consent, and Apthya Turner,
s. p., v., 17, whose father consents.
At S. Margt., Cant. Dec. 7, 1663.
Note. - This allegation is signed by
Mary Turner, mother of Apthya, who
testified to her husband's consent."
Both registers recording the marriage seem to show it was on 1st Dec, so I think Cowper probably mis-read a 1 as a 7.

Family 3 Augustine HILLS, bap. 6 Apr 1648, St. Laurence’s Church, St. Lawrence in Thanet, Kent, England , bur. Between 1 Dec 1713 and 6 Apr 1718, St. Laurence’s Church, St. Lawrence in Thanet, Kent, England (Age ~ 65 years) Married 20 Jan 1675/76 St. Laurence’s Church, St. Lawrence in Thanet, Kent, England - From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 28 Sep 2020)
"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)
