General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Gill

---

The name Gill is found in New England at an early date, and few families have been so sundered by change of language, religion and even of nationality. There is no positive clue that leads to James Gill, of Hilliard Station, Ohio, but the best evidence found tends to the belief that he was a descendant of the Canadian Gill family, founded by Samuel Gill, who was captured by Indians in 1697 and carried to Canada. In vol. lxx, p. 469, Massachusetts Archives, is found a petition of Sergeant Samuel Gill, of Salisbury, Massachusetts, under date of June 6, 1700, to the governor and council, "that they will take effectual measures for the redemption of his son Samuel Gill, carried captive by the Indians to Canada about three years before." But the boy was not returned, grew up with the Indians, married a white captive from the state of Maine and founded an important Canadian family that came to be widely scattered through Canada and the United States.
