The entries by Samuel Hills include calculations and figures for church rates, work, dues, etc. in the spaces unused by his father. The second volume is a handwritten transcription of parts of the original record by the Hills Family Genealogical and Historical Association with an introduction William Smith Hills. The transcription was sent to Thomas Hills of Boston, Mass. in 1895.
