      Margaret Hill, daughter of Dr. Richard and Deborah (Moore) Hill, of the Island of Madeira, born November 2, 1737, spent a portion of her girlhood in Philadelphia. She married there, September 1, 1758, William, son of John and Mary (Sutton) Mooris, of Spring Hill, Philadelphia, now Montgomery county, grandson of Anthony and Phoebe Guest Morris, of Philadelphia, great-grandson of Anthony Morris. William Morris was the eldest child of John and Mary, and was born in Philadelphia, June 27, 1735. He died April 14, 1766, less than eight years after his marriage, and four months before the birth of his youngest child. On June 7, 1770, Margaret (Hill) Morris removed from Philadelphia to Burlington, New Jersey, with her four surviving children, and took up her residence with her sister and brother-in-law, Sarah and George Dilwyn.
