Data from Lewis and Serven.
Lewis also includes the following.
There is a family tradition that our immigrant ancestor, John Hillman,was taken from a fishing boat on the Thames River and pressed onto aBritish ship bound for America. He was approximately 16 years old atthe time, circa 1667. He landed in Salisbury, MA and arrived onMartha's Vineyard around 1671.
This story was first told to me by my mother when I was nine or tenyears old. The same tradition is reported in Charles E. Banks'"History of Martha's Vineyard" and H. W. Hillman's "Hillman FamilyGenealogy". Banks' source for the story was probably my greatgrandfather, Beriah T. Hillman. H. W. Hillman cites Butler's "Historyof Farmington, Maine" as his source for the story. Many Hillmanfamilies moved from Martha's Vineyard to the Farmington area to keeptheir sons out of the whaling industry.
No direct evidence supports this story, but it is at least plausible.Press gangs were common in 17th century England. The tradition hasbeen maintained unchanged over nine generations in several differentbranches of the family. Evidence from England to confirm thedisappearance would be helpful, but none has been found yet.
