Sandra,
The father, Amos Bill, whom you provide for Asenath is listed on page #158 of Ledyard Bill's "Bill Family". Amos is stated to be the oldest son of Lieut. James and Keziah (French) Bill and was born in Lebanon, CT ca. 1730. His wife is not listed except to note the Jerusha was supposed to be his wife as they both signed as witnesses for a deed. He is stated to have moved to Colchesger, CT about 1760 and a note penciled in the margins states that he went to Cornwallis, N.S. in 1761. The only children listed are those born in Lebanon, CT, those being Jerusha, who was baptised 17 Dec. 1758, and Bethiah, who was baptized 20 May 1759.
Hope this is a help to you, Don Valentine .... whose grandmother was also a Bill from Cornwallis County, N.S.
