From - Early Friends Families of Upper Bucks
THE TILL FAMILY
The Till family, from whom John Till above mentioned descended, was, like the Heacock, long seated in Staffordshire. His earliest ancestor of whom we have any record was:
I. Hugo Till (or Tyll, as the name is spelled on the early records) who died in the Parish of St. Mary, City of Stafford in 1552, leaving a will, dated May 15, 1552, which mentions his wife Elizabeth and four sons Richard, John, Humphrey and Thomas.
II. John Till (Hugo), of Whitegreave Parish of St. Mary's, Stafford, second son of Hugo and Elizabeth, died in 1597, and his wife Ann in 1616. He had issue, two sons - Thomas and William, and five daughters.
III. William Till (Hugo, John), of Whitegreave, was buried in St. Mary's December 6, 1633, and his wife Margaret on July 1, 1624. They had sons John, Humphrey and William, and daughters Ann and Margaret.
IV. John Till (Hugo, John, William), of "The Hawthorne," Whitegreave, eldest son of William and Margaret, died in 1672. The name of his wife is unknown. They had five children, John, William, Sarah, Francis, and Samuel.
V. Samuel Till (Hugo, John, William, John), was buried at Friends Burying Ground at Stafford 2 mo. 29, 1676. He was the first of the family to unite with Friends and little is known of his history or that of his five children, except his son John, the father of Ann (Till) Heacock.
VI. John Till (Hugo, John, William, John, Samuel), born at Whitegreave, Stafford, about 1650, died there 7 mo. 22, 1710. He married at Stafford Friends Meeting 2 mo. 5, 1675, Mary Jackson, daughter of George and Ann of Ashfelong, Warwickshire. She was buried at Stafford 8 mo. 6, 1684.
