It is really something to sing and dance about.
Dig up those old bones and get them dancing!

Change the two party system
so people against something like abortion
but for something like environmental protection never again get bigger and badder storms
and two bankrupting wars instead.
Make the Electoral College a permanent government body with seat distribution proportional to the party tally in each state and give it the right to approve cabinet members and under secretaries instead of the US Senate!

Hill

:Hill of Houndston, Hill of Poundsford, Hill of Shilston, Hill of Spaxton, Hill of Sutton Manor, Hill of Taunton
Lodge reports that "This noble Family is of Norman extraction, and was anciently called de la Montagne". Lodge says, "They have resided in the counties of Devon and Stafford from a very early period; and from the time of Q. Elizabeth have been of prime distinction in the counties of Down and Antrim in Ireland." The first mentioned by Lodge was ...
Sir John Hill of Hill's Court in Exeter, Devon a 1362, d 1408, Sergeant-at-law, justice
m1 Dionysia Durborough b 1340, d 13.10.1387, dau of Sir John Durborough
Although various web sites show the above Sir John as father of the Sir Robert who is shown in the section below as 1st of Shilston ancestor of Sir Moyses Hill of Hillsborough and through him of the Marquesses of Lothian, Lodge identifies that Sir Robert as Sir John's "relation and contemporary". We suspect that there has been confusion between that Sir Robert and ...

m2 Matilda/Maud Daubeney dau of Sir G. Daubeney of Barrington
Weaver causes some confusion by showing Matilda as 2nd wife of Sir John and also again as Maud as 2nd wife of the John shown above as married to Margaret Rodney. The dates support the view that this was an error.

1 As mentioned above, various web sites show the following Sir Robert as son of the above Sir John but, as Lodge identifies Sir Robert as Sir John's "relation and contemporary", we suspect that he was not.
2 BHO Magna Brittannia, vol 6, Devonshire, Parishes: Maker-Musbury" reports that "The manor of Shilveston, or Shilston, ... passed, either by purchase or alliance, to Robert Hill, made one of the justices of the Common Pleas in 1408. Judge Hill's posterity continued here for eight generations"

m Isabella Wadham dau of Sir John Wadham of Edge & Merefield by Joan Wrottesley
Lodge next mentions Sir Robert's son or grandson, Thomas of Hillton who was Sheriff of London in 1474, Mayor in 1484 and says "this estate", it not being clear if this referred to Hillton or Shilston we presume it was Hillton, "remained in the family for several years, 'till it was at length wasted and disposed of by Robert Hill, Esq. and his son Edward, whose younger brother was Moyses Hill, Esq. the ancestor of the present Earl of Hillsborough" who became 1st Marquess of Downshire.

BHO History & Topography of Kent, vol 2, Parishes: Sutton-at-Home mentions an unnamed 5th son of Robert Hill of Shilston, presumed to be this one, and provides the following descent from him. Visitation indicates that Robert was the 5th son so we assume that he it was who was father of ...

Visitation Weaver, Somerset, 1551+1575+1595, Hill identifies Roger's wife and mother of her children as Alice Towse, Visitation 1623 shows the mother of Roger's children as a Margery so we presume that Alice Towse was Roger's 2nd wife.
