Danby Register: Birth of Ephemia Hill: Ephemia Hill vidua V die Januarii. Her father may have been Edward Hill whose death is registered at Danby in the same year. Edwardus Hill paterfamilia (head of family) xxiij Septembris. If so, Ephemia's mother was Frances Gill as per the following Danby Register marriage record of 1614: Edwardus Hill et Francisca Gill xxvij Junii.

Another possible candidate as the father of Ephemia is Percival Hill who died in Danby in 1641: Persevell Hill paterfamilia.
