Note

Soon after his arrival William Copp acquired half an acre of land in the North End of Boston, at the head of Prince St., on the water front overlooking the Charles River, and built a house there just by a little cove. Southwest of it was a mill, whence a causeway ran in a northwesterly direction across the marsh. A short distance northeast of his home was the Charlestown Ferry. His holdings are described in the Boston BOOK OF POSSESSIONS as 'One house & lott of halfe and Acre in the Mill field bounded with Thomas BUTTOLPH southeast; John BUTTON northeast; the Marsh on the southwest; and the River on the Northwest.' The tract called the 'Mill Field' took its name from a wind-mill used for grinding corn, etc. which stood in the midst of it. The mill was located on the top of the most northerly of the three hills, upon which old Boston was built. This hill was originally called Mill Hill. Its name was changed to Snow Hill and subsequently to Copp's Hill, --- the latter being its present designation. - NEW YORK GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY RECORD (Oct. 1931), v.62, pp.338-354; NEW ENGLAND HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL REGISTER, v.58,p.118. . . .
