My great grandfather, Owen Taft Hill, was born in 1849 in Hartland, Windsor County, Vermont, a son of William Wyman & Harriet Elvira (Knowlton) Hill. I have never learned why he had the middle name Taft. I wonder if he could be related to the Hill family from which President Taft descended. Owen Taft Hill's grandfather, Roswell Hill/s, was born 12 Mar 1772 in Westminister , Vermont to William and Ruth Hill/s. Other than their names on Roswell's birth record, I've never been able to learn anything about William and Ruth and have never had any lead on any brother or sister of Roswell Hill/s. Could these people be part of the family you are researching?
