William HILL d.1730

Hill's bookplate (British Museum Franks Collection 14783)

Books

A bookpile bookplate of "William Hill Esqr. Falmouth" (Franks 14783) seems to be a man of this name recorded in parochial registers as having died there in 1730; little else is known of him, and the extent of his library is not known.
