Research Notes:
Named as a beneficiary in the 1730 codicil to the will of his father's [2nd] cousin Frances Hill of St. John's in Sutton-at-Hone, Kent, his father having recently died (c. 1730)...
'The next possessor of St. John's was a Cornishman, living at the manor of Carwythenack, near Helston. He was under age at the time he came into his cousin's property, but in 1755 he let St. John's on a long lease to Edward Hasted, the well-known Kentish historian, and lived in Cornwall for the rest of his life. Of his numerous descendants one branch now resides at Bromley in Kent, only about 10 miles from Sutton.
William Hill in about 1768 sold the land which Abraham had bought at Summerhill to Edward Whatmore of Salisbury, and in 1780 disposed of St. John's to Mr. John Mumford of Sutton Place...'
