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.
