Biography

Cross of St George
William Churchill was born in England.

Paternal 13x great-grandfather of my children through his son John Churchill (Mary de Mohun) William was the Son of William Churchill & Mary Creuse:

WIKI Born: Rockbeare, Devon, England Death: before July 11, 1583 Piddlehinton, Dorset, England

Father, William Churchill: Son of Thomas Churchill, Esq. and Grace Churchill; Husband of Mary Churchill; Father of William Churchill, of Corton; John Churchill, of Munston; Roger Churchill, of Catherston; Alexander Churchill and Richard Churchill

Note: William was married off to Mary Creuse the eldest daughter of Richard of Wicroft (Wycroft) Castle in Devonshire. He initially removed to Colyton, Devon (pronounced like “Colliton.”) where he apparently became a minor Copyholder (a renter). He then removed to Catherston Leweston in Dorset where he acquired free tenure (possibly through Richard Creuse or possibly in his own right since he was a Yeoman of Devon). He is the earliest confirmed ancestor of the Dorset Churchills and was the progenitor of the later very prominent Churchills of Colliton and Alderholt Park.
