Solomon Hakes, b. ? , in England. The place of his birth was most probably County Devon. The English Families believe that to have been where both the names Hake and Hakes originated, and where both families were first known by their armorial bearings. He was in Westerly , Rhode Island, in April 1709, and in the town meeting of that month was propounded to be received a freeman. At the meeting in May following, the committee of inquiry made a favorable report, and thereupon he was voted a freeman and allotted l00 acres of vacant land, the same as the other freemen. He removed to Stonington, Conn., the first of January 1710, and the town meeting of Stoning- ton, in that month, prescribed and recorded an ear mark for his cattle. The same ear mark the town meeting afterwards continued to his son George, June 28, 1754, and his grandsons, Jesse and Elihu, in 1807. He married Anna Billings, (b. Oct. 1681,) daughter of Ebenezer and Anna (Comstock) Billings, of Stonington, January 16, 1718. Married by Reverend James 'Noyes. The burning of the county records at 'New London has made it impossible to learn much that would be highly interesting as regards both him and his sons. From the amount of his early purchases of real estate we may conclude that he was a young emigrant of liberal means for that period. He was a man of prominence in New London County, and his appointments to places of trust by the court mark him as a man of more than usual education for that period. Although alive in 1750, he was quite certainly dead before the struggle for independence. He would have been ninety years in l776. Therefore we can only speculate as to what part he would have taken (if living) in that contest. Even in his day we may fancy the revolutionary ferment brewing, which later put one of his sons and seven grandsons in the army for independence.. The precise date of his death, 1753? , or that of his wife, has not been found, but they were both buried about one mile northwesterly from the village of North Stonington, in a large burying ground, the place known formerly as Milltown. Occupation, farmer.
Solomon 0) Hakes b. about 1688 prob. Devon, England, m. 16 January 1718, Anna dau. of Ebenezer and Anna (Comstock) Billings.

Page 28 of this book has...
Solomon Hakes, b.1688 (?) in England. The place of his birth was most probably County Devon. The English Families believe that, to have been, where both the names Hake and Hakes originated, and where both families were first known by their armorial bearings. He was in Westerly, Rhode Island, in April 1709, and in the town meeting of that month was propounded to be received a freeman. At the meeting in May, following the committee of inquiry made a favorable report and thereupon he was voted a freeman and allotted l00 acres of vacant land, the same as the other freemen. He removed to Stonington, Conn., the first of January 1710, and the town meeting of Stonington, in that month, prescribed and recorded an earmark for his cattle. The same ear mark the town meeting afterwards continued to his son George, June 28, 1754, and his grandsons, Jesse, 1793, and Elihu, in 1807; m. Anna Billings, (b. Oct. 1681), daughter of Ebenezer and Anna (Comstock) Billings, of Stonington, Jan. 16, 1718. Married by Rev'd James Noyes. The burning of the county records at New London has made it impossible to learn much that would be highly interesting as regards both him and his sons. From the amount of his early purchases of real estate we may conclude that he was a young emigrant of liberal means for that period. He was a man of prominence in New London County, and his appointments to places of trust by the court mark him as a man of more than usual education for that period. Although alive in 1750, he was quite certainly dead before the struggle for independence. He would have been ninety years in l776.

Even in his day we may fancy the revolutionary ferment brewing, which later put one of his sons and seven grandsons in the army for independence.. The precise date of his death, 1753 (?) , or that of his wife, has not been found, but they were both buried about one mile northwesterly from the village of North Stonington, in a large old burying ground, the place known formerly as Milltown. Occupation, farmer.

Solomon Hakes, Jr., b 1727, (?) at Stonington, Ct.; m. 1753 or 1754 and was living at Canann, Litchfield County, Conn., in the spring of 1754 and owned a small tract of land there. While living there his two sons were b., John in 1755 and Solomon, Jr., in 1758. By a deed it appears that he sold his land in Canaan in 1761 and described himself as then living at "The Nine Partners, Dutchess County, in the Provedence of New York."

Note:
An article from The New England Historic Genealogical Register by the Reverend Creighton Spencer-Mounsey (April 1927) serves as the principal source for information on the Billing family. During a visit to The New England Historic Genealogical Society in August 1991 your compiler had the pleasure of speaking with the Society's Director, Mr. Gary Boyd Roberts. He informed me that the noble and royal line of descent for William Billing from Sir Thomas and Katherine (Giffard) Billing referred to in the NEHGR article appears to have been fabricated by Somerby. Unfortunately, I had devoted a great deal of time to researching Katherine (Giffard) Billing's ancestry. Mr. Boyd doubts that the Somerby's ancestral line for William is accurate beyond his father William or grandfather Richard. The name is often seen as Billings.
WILLIAM-1 BILLING (William-A, Richard-B) was born at Taunton, Somersetshire, England about 1629 and died at Stonington, New London County, Connecticut 16 March 1712/13. He married at Dorchester, Massachusetts 12 February 1657/8 MARY , who died between 1713 and 1718. She was not the daughter of Humphrey Atherton as some have indicated, William and Mary were married by Major Atharton. They are both buried in North Stonington Cemetery: "1713 Here lies the body of William Billing who died in the 85th year of his age;" there is only a simple footstone for Mary, "M.B."
