Valentine Hill--sparkplug of early New England

Jean A. Sargent

Valentine Hill (1610/1611-1661) immigrated from England to Boston, Massachusetts in 1636, and "... was destined to be a successful merchant, land manipulator, mill entrepreneur, and public servant in the remaining 25 years of his life." He married twice, and about 1649/1650 moved to Dover, New Hampshire. Descendants lived in New England and elsewhere.
