The dates of birth and death of Elizabeth Hill are not known. She was certainly born before the death of her father in 1675 because she is mentioned in his will. She was likely very young at the time her father wrote his will because she is listed last and is not given any specific items.
Four of the children of William Thomas and Elizabeth Hill are given in the article by John Bennett Boddie in the William and Mary Quarterly;
1858 John Thomas is given as their only known son in the book by Worth S. Ray.

(4) Thomas Thomas of North Carolina.
“William Thomas is mentioned as “brother” in the will of John Jennings, Jr., who married Mary Hill. As John Jennings’s own sisters were Mary Seward, Martha Jennings, and Sarah Luck (W&M 7, p. 241-250), this would show that William Thomas married his wife’s sister. William Thomas is mentioned in Silvester Hill’s will and he also appraised the estate of Capt. James Day, a relation of his wife, April 28, 1702.”
