    "Sill, John (otherwise written Scill, Syll, and Scyll), about 1638, bought a house and lot at the S. E. corner of Eliot and Winthrop streets. By his w. Joanna, he had Elizabeth, b. about 1637, m. Zechariah Hicks 28 Oct. 1652, and d. 12 Sept. 1730, a. 93; Joseph, b. about 1639. John the f. was living in 1645, but d. before 1662, when his w.
