Excerpt from Ancestral Chronological Record of the Hillman Family The author is greatly indebted for data and information. To Mr. C. A. Clough, Mr. And Mrs. E. H. Litch. Mrs. R. S. Evans. And Miss Sarah Crawford Hillman; 'also to the great many Hillmans who may not have studied the subject as fully, but have furnished data and information cheerfully, although in some cases after considerable trouble and difficulty. Mr. C. A. Clough has resided at Vineyard Haven, on the Is land of Martha's Vineyard for many years, and possessed a fund of information regarding the Hillmans, and other families related to them. In 1898, he furnished me with considerable information regarding the early settlers on the Island, taken from records then in his possession; also with other interest ing data-regarding Hillmans which is always considered choice by those seeking that character of data. It would be ungenerous to omit reference to the enthusiasm with which Mr. E. H. Litch of New York has followed, and is at present following, the Genealogy of the Hillman Family. His wife's family inherited a manuscript giving valuable rec ords of the Hillmans, and in addition, Mr. Litch has studied the subject from other sources for several years. The author takes this opportunity of thanking each one. And all of those who have contributed in any way toward the compilation of data in connection with which this book has been printed, as a lasting record.
