    William Cecil, b. ca 1666/7, place unknown (in court records he stated several times that he was not born in Maryland),
    m. unknown (d. 1698)
    d. 1749 in Frederick Co, MD
    Their known children were: John Sesell, b. 24 Dec 1691 ; Philip Sesell, b. 28 Mar 1693; Susan Sesell, b. Jan 1696; nothing further known
    - William Cecil was from a Protestant line, not related to the better known and documented Catholic Cecil line
    - William Cecil was a laborer in PG Co. who perjured himself for his employer, Dr. Richard Pile (In testimony in a 1706/7 case regarding Dr. Pile's mistreatment of his servants as sworn by four other persons)
    - William was sued for a debt in 1710 and in 1714 he signed a bond of £200 for Elizabeth Barned, a person of questionable character. At some point he moved to Frederick County and lived with one of his grandchildren, most probably Samuel, son of his eldest son, John. He died in Frederick County and Samuel was his administrator. No land holding has ever been found for William in Maryland.

    There were two lines of Cecils in early Colonial Maryland, the Catholic Cecils of St. Mary's County, and the Protestant Cecils of Prince George's County, descendants of William Cecil. It is unknown where he was born, most likely in either Pennsylvania or possibly in Virginia. His wife's name is unknown. He was the father of three children, John, Phillip, and Susannah.
