Cover page on Till section:
The following pedigree of the Till family of Whitgreave is from notes left by Mr. Lloyd, and after
examination of the records cited, is believed to be absolutely correct. The latter part of it, however,
disagrees with a MS. Pedigree of this family in Mr. Lloyd's collection signed Albert Cook Meyers, and
dated 16 April, 1900: but Mr. Lloyd points out that this is impossible that the latter can be right. For
instance, Mr. Meyers correctly gives the date of birth of Samuel, first son of John Till (died 1710) as
1 month 7, 1676 (January 7, 1676); but in stating that this child died 2 month 29, 1676 ; he is mistaken.
Friends Records at Devonshire House give Samuel the "father" at Whitgreave son of John, buried
2 month 29, 1676. It is evident, therefore, that this Samuel was not the son of the John Till who died
1710 but his father. The burial of the first Samuel, born 1676, is not given. Sarah, daughter of John
Till (sister of Samuel), was buried 9 month 11, 1693 . Again, Mr. Myers gives John Till "of Burson",
buried 2d month 26th, 1697, as a son of the John who died 1710, and brother of Rosamond; but,
from his will proved the day after his burial, it is certain that this was John Till "the younger" (so
called in will) of Whitgreave, and the entry of his burial also records him as "John Till the younger
son of John". He was, therefore, the brother of the Samuel buried 1676, and uncle to the John Till
who died 1710. It appears from the Till wills at Litchfield, and other data, that John Till "the elder" of
Whitgreave, the father of John Till "the younger" (died 1697) and Samuel Till "the father" (died 1676),
lived to be a very old man, surviving at least two of his sons. When he was well advanced in years he
settled all of his lands upon his eldest son and heir, John, and to his heirs in tail male. From the
evidence at hand it appears that he also turned over to his heirs his personal estate, reserving
probably, as was customary in such settlements, which were very common at that time, lodgings,
food, drink, clothing, and a certain annual money payment. This John Till the elder was born about
or before 1610, so that he was 97 years old or more at the time of his son's death in 1697. The fact
that he held the Till farms in and about Whitgreave, makes it possible to trace him for several
generations. He was the son of another John Till of Whitgreave who died 1672, also very advanced
in years, and was descended from Hugh Till, who died 1552-3. (Editor)
