Ebenezer Jr. Hill was born in 1762 in Connecticut Colony, British Colonial America. His GEDCOM record also gives a christening date of 1762 in Connecticut Colony.

According to an original Family Tree Maker note, Hill removed to Saratoga County, New York, where he lived during the Revolutionary period. The same note states that he served in the New York militia and later settled at Onondaga Hills, New York. No dates, unit information, or other details of the reported military service are supplied in the available material.

Ebenezer Jr. Hill died in 1840 in Wellsboro, Tioga County, Pennsylvania.

A separate description in the supplied material concerns an Ebenezer Hill said to have been born on 17 March 1758 in New Hampshire, to have served as a private in the New York militia, to have married Mary Bronson, and to have died on 30 March 1833 in New York. Because these details conflict with the 1762 birth and 1840 death recorded for Ebenezer Jr. Hill, they have not been combined with his biography.

Historical context

The family-tree note places Hill in Saratoga County, New York, during the Revolutionary period and associates him with the New York militia. This is a reported family-history claim in the supplied material; the material does not include service dates, a militia unit, or documentation sufficient to identify the service more specifically.
