What info do you have supporting their move to NY?So far I find Benjamin C. Hill in 1834 Brantford, Ontario, occupation Carpenter.
Then I see him on the 1851 census in Brantford's North Ward (free census at http://www.collectionscanada.ca/archivianet/1851/index-e.htmlhttp://www.collectionscanada.ca/archivianet/1851/index-e.html and you can find him on page 5d,6a of the North Ward)
Benjamin C. Hill Painter, b.State of Maine, Religion Congregational, age at next birthday 52
Nancy b.CT age at next birthday 53
Mary E. b.Canada age at next birthday 18
William b.Canada age at next birthday 15
He is also listed as Mr B.C. Hill member of the 1st Congregational Church of Brantford 1844 on their 1840's membership list.
Again, let me know what info you have that states he moved to NY.So far I only see the son Charles you mentioned in Utica.In the meantime you might want to post a query on the Brant County, Ontario forum.Maybe someone will have access to some local books there.
