Arms of Lady Hillsborough
Mary Hill, Countess of Hillsborough (died 29 July 1780) was a British peeress, a daughter of the Edward Stawell, 4th Baron Stawell.
On 11 September 1750, she married Henry Bilson-Legge (a son of the 1st Earl of Dartmouth) and they later had a son, Henry Bilson-Legge, 2nd Baron Stawell (1757–1820). Upon the death of her father in 1755, she inherited her father's estate but not his title, but was later created Baroness Stawell, of Somerton in the County of Somerset, in 1760, in her own right.
Her husband died in 1764 and in 1768 she married the 1st Earl of Hillsborough and became Countess of Hillsborough. Her second husband was created Marquess of Downshire after her death.
