Notes |
- John, Jr. was born circa 1622 in England. According to Robert Anderson: "He is not found in any New England record. (Savage thinks this may be the John Bill who died in Boston in December of 1638, but John L. Cobb and Vada Tuttle Larson (aided by William H. Schoeffler) think it more likely that this record is for James Bill who died at that time.)...[3,20]" He may possibly be the "John Bill" who sailed aboard the Hopewell, Mr. William Bundocke, sailing from London to New England in 1635. The John Bill on this manifest was listed as being 13 years old, so he would have been the right age to have been this John Bill. In addition, the will of "John Tuttle of Rumney Marsh", Suffolk co., MA was in the handwriting of The Reverend Thomas Cheever (who was married to John's niece, Sarah)[40]. Since this could not possibly be his father John, Sr., it is likely that the will mentioned belonged to this John Bill. However, as seen by the previous discussion, much debate abounds about this member of the Bill family.
