History of Bill Family by Ledyard Bill, e. N.Y., 1867 The name Bill derived from the "Battle-Axe" or "Bill men," the middle grade of soldiers in the British army, many years before 1300 AD. Surnames were not in use much before 1300 AD. Our name oldest in England, being traced to a county (Shropshire) for a period of about 500 years. First of whom we have any special account is Dr. Thomas Bills M.D.born about 1490 in Bedfordshire, England, attended Princess Elizabeth in 1549. Physician to King Henry VIII, Edward VI (md. Agness.) Dr. Bill's will bears date June1, 1551--probably brother of John Bill and also near relative of Dr. Thomas Bill M.D. (maybe first cousin.) In 1547 William Bill received his D.D. degree; in 1551 he was appointed Master of Trinity College. Shortly after the Accession of Queen Mary he was ejected from the mastership in a rude manner and he went into retirement during the reign of Queen Mary. There was a conflict of religion at the time; Dr. Bill was protestant and the Queen was Catholic. Confusion reigned. Many went into exile or were driven and many were martyered. Then came th reign of Queen Elizabeth. Dr. Bill was given back the Mastership at Trinity. He died 15 July 1561, buried at Westminister Abbey. His daughter, Mary married Frances Samwell, Auditor to King Henry VII. Their son and heir Sir William Samwell received Knighthood at the Coronation of King James 1. Sir William Married Jane, daughter Sir Henry Skipworth. Charles Bill born about 1550 in London, believed to be the son of the proceeding was educated and received his B.A. & M.A. degrees. John Bill, baptized 1576, born in Parish of Much Wedlock, and son of Charles Bill, were the publishers of the 1st King James version of the Bible and prayer books. No one was allowed to print these excpect by Royal permission. Published in 1611. John Bill married (1) Ann Mountford, daughter of Thomas Douglass, b. 1538, d. 1621 at age 33, buried at St. Faiths, at Paul's; he married (2) Joan Franklin, daughter of Henry Throwley, in Kent. John Bill's will dated 1630. No death date is given. Listed in the will are there children: John, Ann, Charles and Henry. Also listed are a supposed brother, William and supposed nephews Thomas and John. John Bill, son of printer John Bill, was a grown man in 1630 and may be the John and Dorothy Bill, first Bill family to come to America. Bill's had a Coat of Arms but no Crest. •Change Date: 16 Mar 2008 at 13:29:59

• (II) John (2) Bill, son of John (i) Bill, was the immigrant ancestor, according to the researches of the author of the Bill genealogy. With his wife Dorothy he came to this country before 1635. Their children, John, aged thirteen, and Marie, aged eleven years, came to Boston in 1635, John in the ship "Hopewell' and Marie in the ship "Planter." John Bill died in 1638, and a month later Richard Tuttle became responsible to the town for Dorothy Bill, widow, "sojourner at his house" and "for anything about her." It is believed that she was Tuttle's sister. From John Bill all of the surname in this country are descended. Children: James, born in England in 1615; Thomas, born about 1618; Philip, mentioned below ; John, born 1622 ; Mary, 1624. _____________________________
