I. Azor b. 5 Mar. 1767,(1) at Norwalk, Ct., m. Mary (Polly) Hurlbutt (dau of (Capt.) Dan'l (senior) of Wilton Parish, Norwalk, Ct.)(2) His name appears on N. Rec'ds as Fillio (1788), of Norwalk. He must have moved soon after to Greenbush, Rens. Co., N.Y., as his 3d child was b there 1792. He again moved 1794 to Sa. Co, N.Y. and thence to Falls Township, Lucerne Co. (now Wyoming Co) Penn, where he settled about 1806.(3) He d. 14 Nov. 1851. She d. 15 Mar. 1843..
1) Copy of Pension Rec'ds at Wash. D.C. b. at Norwalk, Ct. 5 Mar 1767. In a supplemental statement alleged the writer of his declaration erred in the year and he was b. 1763. Copy of Family Rec'ds produced at Pension office says 1776 New Style. Azor states he enlisted June 1778, under Capt. Ozias Marvin for 1 year and continued by re-enlistment with a short interval to close the War. His guard duty was on the sea coast at Norwalk and was in the fight when Norwalk was burned and at Stamford, Horse neck, Fairfield and King's bridge; and at taking of Fort Shonga, on L. I. This sea coast duty was performed by militia and the draft or enlistments were not usually over 60 ds. or 3 or 4 mos. and companies were classified in 2 or 3 classes, which alternated with each other in the duty, or companies of a Reg't. alternated with each other. It has been suggested by his entrance in service when was 15 yrs. old, but the family rec'ds. he was b. 1766 and he states (pr. pension rec'd) June, 1778. If this statement is correct he was but 12 yrs. of age, for he alleges his service was a substitute for Edmund Tuttle and testifies to his serving in 1780, but no time prior is mentioned. Isaac Fillow also testifies of his serving in 1780. From this we are inclined to think he entered or went into service 1780 for a short term and was probably about 14 yrs. old. "Enlistments at the age of 12 yrs. were not made, except in rare instances as Drummers " says Major W. H. Webster, U. S. Pension Office, W. D. C. .
2) Wilton was set off from Norwalk as a town 1802..
3) He settled in what is now Overfield Township in Wyoming Co., Pa., about about 5 miles from the river. This was formerly Falls Township, Luzerne Ct. Post Office is now Mill City, Wyoming Co., Pa. Mill City was originally Northumberland Co., which was established by act of March 21, 1772. By an act of the General Assembly of Conn., in 1774 the inhabitants dwelling within the bounds of this Colony were constituted a district town, about 70 miles square. It embraced all the territory between the two rivers along the New York State line and from Athens to Wyoming Valley, on the Susquehanna River. Representatives were sent from Wyoming to Conn. The inhabitants of this county was living under and governed by the "Blue Laws of Conn." Luzerne Co., formerly a part of Northumberland was established by Act Sept. 25, 1786 and named in honor of the Chevalier De La Luzerne, Minister from France. Wyoming Co., formerly part of Luzerne established by Act of Assembly, 1842. .

History of Lycoming Co, Meginess
Another name identified with Immanuel's church in its early history is that of Jacob Hill, son of John Daniel Hill. He was born in Windsor township, Berks county, May 9, 1750.
On the breaking out of the Revolution he entered the army and served for over seven years.
At the close of the war he was married to Christina Gortner, daughter of George Gortner, already referred to, she having patiently and faithfully waited for his return, as their engagement was made previous to his enlistment.
Their children were
John, who married Catharine Stock;
Daniel, who married Susanna Truckenmiller;
Jacob, who married Louisa Morris;
Susanna, who married Henry Dieffenbach;
Catharine, who married Frederick Stock;
Elizabeth, who married John Stock;
Hannah, who married Adam Sarver, and
Christina, who married John Houseknecht.
For several years after marriage they lived in Berks county. In 1794 they, came to Muncy valley, he having previously purchased the farm now owned by Dr. George Hill.
He died, January 9, 1824, just six days after the death of his wife, whose remains he had followed to the grave.
His son, John Hill, became an active member of Immanuel's church, and was the leader in the movement to build a church edifice and organize in Hughesville. He was about the first man in the community to take a firm stand on the subject of total abstinence.
John Hill married Catharine, a daughter of Baltzer Steck. Of their daughters, four were united in marriage to Lutheran ministers, while a son, Rev. R. Hill, and a grandson, Rev. W. P. Evans, are in the Lutheran ministry. .
