• Notes

  History of Chelsea - Chamberlain vol I, p 193 James, s. of John and Dorothy Bill was b. in England in 1613, he d. Feb 1 1687/8. He bought an estate in Boston, on or near Sudbury St as early as 1639. He worshiped in the Mother Church. Buried in Copp's Hill. Mary died 8-29-1688. Jan 4, 1657/8 Gibson's administrators sold for L200 to James Bill a house and 190 acres in Pullin Pointe together with all his lands lying at a place called Hogg Island. From "History of the Bill Family" Ledyard Bill 1867: "James Bill, son of John and Dorothy Bill, was born in England, in 1615, as we learn from the inscription on his gravestone still standing in Copp's Hill burying-ground, Boston. He came to this country in company with his parents, as has been assumed, prior to 1635, at the age of 20 years... James Bill is first made known to us by his purchase, conjointly with his mother, Dorothy Bill, of a house and garden from Robert Mears, Jan 27, 1639-40. James and his mother lived there at the time. This property must have been on or near what is now Sudbury Street.... James Bill must have been a man of some note, it would be reasonable to suppose. We find him living at one of the most attractive points in the vicinity of Boston."
