Biography
Joanna Sill is presumed to have been born before 1620 based on marriage records, since the age of consent was 12 at the time. FindAGrave indicates a birth year of 1608, but this is unsourced and does not have a photo.
She married John Sill in 1632 in Ryton, Durham, England. Her marriage records do not indicate her maiden name.[1][2] She is referenced as "Joan" in the England records, indicating this might be her actual name.[3]
She arrived in "Cambridge with her husband, John, from Newcastle, Northumberland, about 1637. She joined the church about 1639."[4][5][6]
John died before 1652, "for at that time his wife is spoken of as a widow." [2]
"In 1653 she was made attorney for one of her old friends, Susan Blackiston, a widow, also of Newcastle, to recover debts owed to Blackiston by Anne Errington, a widow, Andrew Stevenson, a cobbler, John Trumble, a cooper, and Deacon Thomas Cheseholm, a tailor, which they had incurred while living at Newcastle. Joanna never remarried after her husband died. Instead, she maintained the family estate and received a land grant in 1652."[4][2]
"Joanna’s will was probated in October 1671, but her date of death and age are as unknown as her husband’s. Marriage dates for the two Sill children, born in England, are known, however. Elizabeth married in October 1652, her brother Joseph in December 1660. If we place her age about twenty and her brother’s about twenty-six, this would make them young children at the time the family emigrated and indicates a probability that their father was around thirty to thirty-five in 1637 and their mother some years younger."[4][2]
Based on the year of her probate, she likely passed away in 1671.[4][2][7]
Family
Husband: John SillWife: Joanna
Married: Before 1635Children:
Son: Joseph (born 1636 in England, married Jemima Belcher December 1660)[4]
Daughter: Elizabeth Sill (born in 1637 in England, married Zachariah Hicks on 8 October 1652, died in 12 September 1730)[2][4][5]
Daughter: Judith (born in Cambridge, Mass., 1st married Mr. Philbrook; 2nd married Abraham Shepherd, of Malden, Mass on 2 January 1673.)[2][6] [8]Research Notes
The Old Silltown book references Mrs. Joanna Sill as his wife. I have not found any references (yet) about her maiden name.[2]
See Joanna Banning Fillbrook for information Joanna Fillbrook/Philbrook/Filbrick, who is not John Sill's wife; she would have been too young to have a child (9 years old). This profile needs additional work.[9] In addition, her daughter, Judith, married a Fillbrook, making it unlikely that Joanna Sill was Joanna Filbrook.
