They resided in Preston, New London Co., CT, then Cornish. After his settlement in Cornish, he helped organize the Cornish Baptist Church in 1789, and was one of its first deacons. On 3 JUL 1792, the church expressed their approbation that "Deacon Hilliard improve his gift in public." He soon after became as popular as a Baptist preacher, but after some years his religious views changed and he became a Universalist, and as such was settled as pastor in Shrewsbury and Wallingford, VT, and finally at Clarendon, VT, where he died. His remains were brought to Cornish and buried besides those of his wife, Phoebe, in a lot, that in 1910 was an open pasture belonging to Freeman A, Johnson.
