Biography

William Savil was born in Essex, England.

William Savil was born about 1604, in Saffron, Walson County, Essex, England. He was the son of William Savell (bef.1564-bef.1639) and Margaret (Parker) Savell (bef.1571-bef.1640).^[1][2]

He emigrated as a single man before 1641, and worked as a joiner. His sister Anne was the wife of Samuel Basse (abt.1600-1694) in Braintree, Massachusetts, who became the executor in William's will. William was in a record.^[3]

William married first about 1642 Hannah (Tidd) Savil (1629-1650), who died in 1650.^[4] Her father John Tidd (abt.1600-1656) mentions her children in his will in 1656:

• John b. 1642
• Samuel b. 1643
• Benjamin b. 1645
• Hannah b. 1647, m. John Needham

1. William b. 1650

William married thirdly Sarah (Mullins) Faxon (bef.1622-bef.1697), widow of Thomas Gannett, on 6 November 1655.^[5]

Note

@NI2450@ NOTE Married 2nd Sarah who died 13/5/1655. &

3rd wife was Sarah Mullins Gannett.[131]. Died 6th day 2n d mon. (VR) Child, William seems to be a problem fitting into this relationship.

Hannah Tidd died in June of 1650, but William was born in July of that year. Is there an error in recording either his birth date or his mother's death date, or does he belong to another set of parents?
