Anthony Hill, born say 1700, a cooper, was a "mulatto man" who was the servant of Captain Richard Smith on 22 March 1725/6 when he was convicted by the Prince George's County court of stealing cider. The court ordered that he receive 30 lashes and stand in the pillory for a half hour. On 25 August 1730 his mistress Elizabeth Smith, wife of Richard, a Quaker, petitioned the court saying that Anthony was a "Mallatto born of a white woman" and had unlawfully absented himself from their service for six months. The court was undecided how to rule on the issue [Court Record 1723-6, 557; 1729-30, 456]. He married Sarah Williams in All Hallow's Parish, Anne Arundel County, on 18 December 1732 [Wright, Anne Arundel County Church Records, 46]. He was called Anthony Hill, Carpenter, in Anne Arundel County in 1732 when he mortgaged livestock and household goods to Samuel Roberts. He received a deed of gift from William Barton for a 50 acre tract of land called "Essex" in Anne Arundel County in 1739. The sheriff sold this land in 1743 to settle Anthony's debts and imprisonment fines [Land Records 1H & T1, 427; RD #3, 224; RB #1, 310-11]. John Darnall sued him for 3,220 pounds of tobacco in June 1746, but he failed to prosecute and had to pay Anthony's costs. In August 1746 he was presented by the court for failing to list his wife and daughter as taxables. In March 1752 he was acquitted of stealing goods from Anne Salyer [Judgment Record 1746-8, 149-50, 213, 285, 353; 1751-4, 243].
