William Tilley

Parents

Biography

Birth	1690	William Tilley was born in 1690 in Ideford, Devonshire, England. The father is listed as John Tilley and the mother Honour in the Church Register baptism entry. R. Hammett Tilley believed that Deacon William's grandfather was named William, not John, and was from Exeter. However, in other respects this family fits the known facts.1,2,3
Baptism	19 March 1690	He was baptized on 19 March 1690 in Ideford, Devonshire, England.3
Immigration	before 1717	He immigrated before 1717 to Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, Based on the fact that his cousin's will in 1717 calls him "William Tilley Junr. of Boston aforesaid, Rope-maker." R. Hammett Tilley says that William the Rope-maker had sent for three sons of his brother, to come to America to assist him.1
Bequest	14 November 1717	He was mentioned in the will of William Tilley, the Ropemaker, on 14 November 1717 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts.
Church Affiliation	1719	As of 1719, William was affiliated with New South Church, in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. There was a William Tilley admitted into full Communion with the Church on 4 Oct 1719. Possibly this could have been the same person.
Relocation	before 1738	Before 1738, William Tilley moved to Newport, Newport County, Rhode Island. Based on the fact that his son was born in Newport in 1738. Representative Men and Old Families of Rhode Island (p. 1683) says he removed to Newport in 1732.

R Hammett Tilley's sketch of the early Tilley generations

Biography

Note		R. Hammett Tilley in his 1878 Genealogy of the Tilley Family shows the father of William Tilley the Rope-maker as John Tilley, and shows the father of the rope-maker's 3 cousins as William. However, the baptism and birth records in the Ideford parish register list all the children of his uncle with a father of John Tilley, of which three were the cousins who came from England to work with him in the rope-works. So it is possible that due to the long passage of time and the many repetitions of the same names, that the names of the two brothers got reversed by future generations.
Family Note		The relationship of John Tilley, father of this big family in Ideford, to William Tilley the Ropemaker of Boston, is not clear. At the time, the word "cousin" was used more broadly to mean relative, kinsman, and not necessarily just "child of a sibling of my parent." R. Hammett Tilley lists a William Tilley as the father of the family in Ideford, although we have the church register to show that their father was named John. Was that John the brother to whom William Tilley the Ropemaker refers in his will? Were the boys who came from Ideford to help in his ropeworks not his cousins, but his nephews? Also, in Search Catalog on familysearch, the early parish records are film # 005750582. May not be indexed. This is original pages. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QSQ-G93K-29MY-F?cat=1834051
Birth	about 1665	John Tilley was born about 1665 in Devonshire, England. His youngest child listed in the Ideford parish register was born in 1689. Therefore a birth around 1665 - 1669 would put him in his early 20's when his first child was born, if Jane was his first child.

John Tilley, Sr.

Note		I am adding the suffix Senior to distinguish this John Tilley from his son and grandsons of the same name. I have seen no other record of this John Tilley except for R. Hammett Tilley's chart in his Genealogy of the Tilley Family.
Locale Description		See Attached map.
Birth	about 1635	John Tilley, Sr., was born about 1635 in Devonshire, England. This is a placeholder person, to be able to connect the Boston Tilley cousins to the Newport Tilley cousins.
Anecdote	February 1884	February 1884: R. Hammett Tilley wrote an inquiry to the Western Antiquary (Devon and Cornwall Notebook)(available in Google Books), pl 211: "TILLY Family: In the October and November numbers of your interesting magazine, I notice communications relative to the "Tilly" family. I would much like to correspond with the parties interseted iin the commun ications mentioned, as I am compiling a history of the "Tilley," "Tyley," "Tilly," family. I find that William Tilley, of Ideford parish, Chudleigh, came to America about 1670, leaving at Ideford a brother John, a record of whose children (except the eldest, William) has been kindly furnished me by the rector of that parish. About 1700, three nephews of the above-named William (namely, William, John, and James) came over to reside with their uncle at Boston, Massachusetts. The uncle died 1717, leaving a will, a copy of which I send you. I have also an old copy of the arms, brought over by the uncle, on the back of which is the following endorsement: "Arms of Tilley, of Exeter, Devon." I would much like to know something more of this family of Tilleys, and any information which your readers could give will be gladly received. John Tilley, prov. (?) removed from Exeter to Ideford about 1687. He died at Ideford, 1747. His children were: 1. William, born about 1680-5, came to America 1700. 2. Jane, born Ideford 1689 3. John,born Ideford 1695, came to America 1700. 4. Thomas, born Ideford 1700. 5. Mary, born Ideford 1702. 6. James, born Ideford 1703-4. I would be glad to correspond with anyone interested in this ancient family of Devon. R.H. Tilly Newport, R.I., United States, America

Death	about 17 November 1717	He died about 17 November 1717 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, Samuel Sewall, writing in his diary, listed a number of recent deaths. "I hear also...of the death of Mr. Tilly, a great Loss to the South-church, and to the Town." Therefore William died sometime between 14 Nov. when he signed his will, and 21 Nov when Samuel Sewall wrote of it.4
Burial		He was buried at Granary Burying Ground in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. The FAG burial entry note says he is the uncle of George Tilley ID=21753558. My understanding is they were cousins. Perhaps it was an old use of the word cousins.5

Research Note	1920	1920 Quotes from Annie Haven Thwing's Crooked and Narrow Streets. p. 188: Pearl Street was "a highway through the fields" in 1662, "part of Eliakim Hutchinson's pasture," a little later, "a lane running to the seaward from the long street up to Fort Hill." In 1708 Gridley's Lane went from High to Purchase Street, which later was included in Pearl Street. In 1732 from High to Milk Street was Hutchinson Street, and sometimes called "Palmer Street"; in 1800, all Pearl Street. On the west side, between Milk and High Streets, there were seven ropewalks, two next to Congress Street owned by Theodore Atkinson, as part of the old Fairbanks pasture, and five owned by Eliakim Hutchinson. Atkinson sold one to Edward Gray in 1712, and one to William Tilley the same year. " p. 189: Gridley Street, from High to Purchase Street, between Congress and Pearl Streets, was laid out by William Tilley, who died in 1717, and Edward Gray, ropemakers. At first called "Tilley Lane, and in 1753 "Gridley Street." p. 241. "In 1735...Pleasant Street was laid out, thirty feet wide on Orange Street, and thirty-five feet at the northwest part adjoining George Tilley. It received its name in 1751. The land of Leverett, extending to near the foot of the Common, Elisha Cooke conveyed a portion to George Tilley in 1739. In 1741, Tilley opened a street of thirty-five or forty feet wide through his land at the bottom of the Common, beginning at Bennet's land. In 1747 it was called Pleasant Street. The ropewalks began here when the land was granted to those who had been burned out in Pearl St. The Crooked and Narrow Streets of the Town of Boston, 1630-1822, Annie Haven Thwing, Boston, Marshall Jones Company 1920.
