Hill's Mills stood on the east side of Concord Road in South Billerica, where the brook from Nutting's Pond crosses the old road from Billerica to Bedford beside the Jonathan Hill House. It began as the Hill family's grist mill and became, from the 1830s, the machine shop where the leather-splitting machine of Samuel Parker was built and shipped for some seventy-five years. The mill pond and the stone dams can still be seen from the road. The lot itself was small: about 175 feet on the road and 80 feet deep, between the farm on the north, the lower dam on the east and a stone wall beyond the waterway on the south.
The land was part of the Dudley Farm, which Ralph Hill began buying in 1657, and it descended in the Hill family with the farm. The first record that names the mill is the 1795 will of Jonathan Hill, who left his sons Job and Josiah the right to "grind their own grain at the corn mill" and drew their line from "the drawbars a little south of the grist mill." The traditional date of 1722 is not supported by any deed or will found so far. When his son Jonathan died in 1815 the appraisers valued the homestead "with all the buildings thereon, except the grist-mill," and the grist mill separately at $440, setting a third of it off to the widow Mary. The guardian's accounts for the four children show the mill at work: "cash received for the toll of the gristmill" in 1815, rent from their uncle Job Hill "for the use of the Mill" in 1816, and a payment for "mending the Mill dam."
In 1825 the children's guardian advertised the farm for auction, "two story dwelling house, Barn, Cider Mill, Grist Mill & other convenient out buildings," and the whole farm passed through Mather Hayward to John Simonds, who married one of the daughters, and then to William Whitford. On April 17, 1826 Whitford cut the mill off from the farm and sold it to Levi Wilson, a housewright, for $400: "a certain Grist Mill ... formerly belonging to Jona. Hill," bounded by stones marked B, with "the water running from Nutting's pond" and the right to raise the upper dam six inches "without being subject to any damage which may occur by flowing said Whitford's lands," to dig a creek from the upper dam to the lower dam and to take stone and gravel from the farm. Every later deed of the Whitford farm reserved these rights. By 1833 the mill held more than millstones: when Wilson sold it to John Nichols for $451 on April 3, 1833 the deed included "the Grist mill apparatus. Also the circular saws and Lathes and all other machinery of said Mills." Nichols mortgaged it back to Wilson the same day, and in 1835 he released his right to redeem to Jonathan Hill, a son of Job Hill and so a cousin of the heirs of 1815, together with "the Grist mill apparatus & Turning Lathe."
Jonathan Hill turned the mill into a machine shop. According to Hazen's History of Billerica (1883) he began soon after 1830 to make the leather-splitting machine invented and patented by Samuel Parker, "almost indispensable in the manufacture of leather," and sold the business in 1853 to Charles Henry Hill, his wife's younger brother. The deed, dated Oct. 15, 1853, conveyed for $3,000 "a certain Grist Mill or Machine shop situate in the Southerly part of said Billerica called Hills Mills," with the water privileges, a blacksmith's shop on the brook and a two-acre lot with buildings across the way. Charles gave a mortgage of $2,005.80 back to Jonathan, who discharged it on May 28, 1866. Charles H. Hill ran the shop for half a century; in 1875 its work was valued at $28,000. He built his own Mansard house just to the south (see the Charles Henry Hill house), and the small settlement of machinists' houses along Concord Road grew up around the shop. Jonathan Hill died on May 17, 1870, leaving his estate to his widow Laura.
By the 1890s the business was carried on as Hill and Proctor, and in March 1903 Charles H. Hill deeded "Hill's Machine Shop" to the Hill and Proctor Company. The company did not last. New York creditors attached the property in December 1903, recovered judgment in the Superior Court in May 1904, and on June 28, 1904 a deputy sheriff sold the shop at auction to Samuel C. Lawrence of Medford for $2,757.25. It then passed quickly through Royal B. Young of Boston (1905), Ernest L. Noera of Saugus (1905) and W. Stanley Tripp of Medford (1906) to Samuel W. Wiley of Worcester, who in February 1907 deeded it back to Charles H. Hill. In August 1907 Charles conveyed it to his daughter Margaret E. Hill (born 1867). When the 1928 and 1929 taxes went unpaid the Town took the lot in 1931, "One third acre ... with buildings thereon situated on Bedford Road," but in 1936 the tax collector disclaimed that title as invalid, and on May 26, 1936 Margaret E. Hill sold "the Hill's Machine Shop" to Arthur A. Knights, who already owned the old Whitford farm around it.
The Knights family held the shop lot with the farm until 1952, when the widow Edith M. Knights sold both to private owners. In 1966 the land around the pond, "including Mill Brook," became part of the Honeywell industrial campus, and it has since passed with the rest of 296-300 Concord Road through Wang Laboratories (1995), Concord Opco (1997), the California State Teachers' Retirement System (2000) and its affiliates to CRCC Equity Partners (2020). The shop buildings are gone; the date of their removal is not recorded in the deeds, which still speak of "buildings thereon" in 1936.

Dated Feb. 28, 1651 [1651/2], recorded 1656. "Whereas by severall grants of divers Generall Courts, there is conveyed to Thomas Dudley the Deputy Governor and his heyres, fifteen hundred acres of land, lying and being about six miles northerly from Concord," Dudley, for 110 pounds, sells to Chamberlin, Parker and Learned "all the right, title, interest, claime and demand" he has in it by the grants "or by any purchase from any Indian," with "all woodes, trees, waters, fishings." The sale is void unless they pay 55 pounds in "oxen, steers, cowes, heiffers, or calves ... none of them then to be above six years old" at his dwelling house at Roxbury on April 28, 1653, and 55 pounds more in cattle or corn (20 pounds in wheat, 35 in rye, pease and Indian corn) on April 28, 1654. Witnessed by Thomas Dudley Jr., Tobias Davis and John Rankens (his mark). This is the Dudley Farm, the tract along the Concord River and Nutting's Pond that became the south part of Billerica. Isaac Learned's share of it, with the buildings he had put up, is what he sold to Ralph Hill in 1657 (Book 2 Page 16). Billerica town book 1, pages 3-5 (also indexed under Tewksbury).

Jonathan Hill died intestate early in 1815. His widow Mary declined the administration, and Samuel Whiting of Billerica was appointed administrator on Feb. 28, 1815 (bond $30,000 with Joseph Locke and Jeremiah Farmer). The inventory by Peter Hill, Timothy Stearns and Josiah Hill (March 23, 1815) values "the homestead of said deceased in said Billerica estimated at 150 acres with all the buildings thereon, except the grist-mill" at $5,050, the grist mill at $440 and 13 1/4 acres of woodland in Bedford at $600. The committee to set off dower (Whiting, Peter Hill and Josiah Hill) appraised the real estate: the lot east of the road to Concord, about 98 acres, bounded by the road, Job Hill, the heirs of Jonathan Stickney, Nutting's Pond, Isaac French and the heirs of Joseph Hill ($1,940); the lot west of the road, 70 acres to the Concord River, between the heirs of Joseph Hill and John Stearns, Job Hill and Josiah Hill ($2,020); Long Meadow; the Bedford woodlot; the dwelling house ($600), barn and hovels ($180), mill house and cider mill, corn house and hog sty, grist mill and two pews, $6,200 in all. On May 17, 1815 they set off to the widow about 45 acres east of the road, meadow, woodland and old field, one third of the grist mill and pews, and "one half of the dwelling house (viz.) the west room, bed room, west chamber, and garret over it together with the middle chamber" ($300), the kitchen, meal chamber, well room, milk room and woodhouse to be used in common. The return also provides for the cow that "Jonathan Hill, father of Jonathan Hill deceased" ordered kept for his daughter Susanna. On April 4, 1815 Timothy Stearns of Billerica was appointed guardian of the four minor children Mary, Anna, Jonathan and David at their mother's request (case 11476). Middlesex probate case 11475.

On April 4, 1815, at the widow Mary Hills request, Timothy Stearns of Billerica was appointed guardian of the four children of Jonathan Hill, "all minors under the age of fourteen years" (bond $30,000 with Samuel Whiting and Isaac Hurd Jr.). After Stearns died, Mary (over fourteen) chose Joel Fitch of Bedford on Sept. 5, 1816, and Fitch was also appointed for Anna, Jonathan and David. The account of Stearnss executor, Elijah Stearns (June 1817), shows the mill at work for the heirs: "cash received for the toll of the gristmill," $9.77 in July 1815; "of Mr. Job Hill for the use of the Mill," $16 in June 1816; and a payment "for mending the Mill dam." On March 29, 1825 Fitch gave bond to sell the minors half of the farm under a license of the Supreme Judicial Court, and posted notice of a "Public Auction ... on Friday the twenty ninth day of April next ... on the premises, two undivided fourth parts of two thirds of the farm, two story dwelling house, Barn, Cider Mill, Grist Mill & other convenient out buildings ... about two miles from Billerica meeting house on the road leading from Billerica to Concord, formerly the estate of Jonathan Hill."
