A local history book "Beckoning Hills Revisited" lists Esther, Melissa and Maud Hill as three students in the first class at Carenton School which was started by a committee including P. Hill. It is not known if Melissa and Maud were sisters of Esther or perhaps cousins (daughters of Ellis or ???) or not related. There are three other Hill families noted in this book who are apparently not related to Peter and his family.
