"Rose Hillier was the widow of Hugh Hillier (or Tilly), who came to Salem from
Dorchester, England, or its vicinity, in 1629, in the Lyon's Whelp, under the
auspices of the Rev. John White of Dorchester, to serve Sir Richard Saltonstall.
He afterward settled in Yarmouth. March 5, 1638-9, with Mr. Nicholas
Simpkins and Giles Hopkins he deposed to the will of Peter Werden, the elder, of
Yarmouth. March 1, 1641-2, he was with Thomas Starr and another complained
of as a scoffer and jeerer at religion and as causing disorder at town meetings,
and was ordered to answer at the next court. June 7, 1642, styled planter,
he appears on a bond in the sum of 40 pounds that Thomas Starr shall appear at
the next court, shall be of good behavior in the meantime and forbear attending
town meetings during the pleasure of the court. In the margin it is noted
that the bond was released. In August, 1643, he was one of those in
Yarmouth between 16 and 60 able to bear arms. June 5, 1644, he is
mentioned as one of the surveyors of highways of Yarmouth. His wife's
maiden name is not known. They had Deborah, b. in Yarmouth Oct. 30, 1643,
and Samuel, b. there about July 30, 1646. He d. in Yarmouth Jan 28, 1647-8
and was buried the next day."
