• Notes

  Not proved that Dorothy was a Tuttle, or that Simon Tuttle was her father. Somewhat unlikely since she wasn't mentioned in Simon's will. The theory that Dorothy was (from History of the Bill Family, Ledyard Bill 1867) "after the death of the husband of Dorothy, Richard Tuttle became responsible for her and her children; and the other fact, that Mary Bill came in company with the Tuttles, on board of the "Planter", leaves the impression in our minds, indeed, there seems to be no question, taht Richard Tuttle was a brother of Dorothy Bill, and consequesntly an uncle of the children. This, in part explains how the parents came to leave their two youngest children in England; also, how it came that Richard Tuttle should volunteer to become responsible for the widow and children of John Bill, and that the widow should "sojourn in his house."
