Notes:

From Ann Tracy Marr on the Driver and Green Families & Ancestors in America. She posted a long History of the Bill Family in which she puts forth the following information: "It is assumed that (James) John and Dorothy must have arrived in the colony prior to 1636, for we find that a boy named John Bill, aged 13, came in the ship "Hopewell", in 1635; also, that one Mary Bill, aged 11, came in the ship "Planter" about the same time. There is little reason to doubt these two children were also the children of John and Dorothy, for we find the girl Mary Bill in company with the Tuttles." She continues to list the children of John and Dorothy as James, Thomas, Philip, John and Mary. Of John and Mary, we only know that they came in 1635. We do not hear of them again."

Death date given as October 1638, Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts
Notes: "The earliest mention of John Bill is found in the ancient town records of "The Town of Boston," where we read, 'John Bill died 10 month,1638.' A month later, 21 January 1638/39, Richard Tuttell (Tuttle) became responsible to the Town of Boston for 'one Dorothie Bill, widow, a sojourner in his house,' and 'for anything about her.' Drake's History of Boston, page 245. This ancient phraseology pertaining to Dorothy Bill means that she had lately become a widow, and Mr. Tuttle, who was probably her brother, engaged to meet any expense that might arise on account of her and her children. 'Anything about her' undoubtedly refers to children connected to Dorothy.

As mentioned in James John Bill's notes, there is good reason to assume that Dorothy Bill was the sister to Richard and William Tuttle. It is assumed that Dorothy and John Bill arrived in the colonies before 1635, for we find that a boy named, John Bill age 13, came in the ship,"Hopewell" in 1635, and a girl, Mary Bill, age 11 came in the ship"Planter" with the Tuttle family. Her name following immediately after theirs. It can be assumed that Dorothy and John Bill came earlier to settle in and left their youngest children with her family to come later. However, there is no documented proof that Dorothy Bill was aTuttle, but it does seem that she is either a sister or a cousin.
