Excerpt from Old Copp's Hill and Burial Ground: With Historical Sketches

It is a fact not often called to mind, perhaps, that, of the three hills from which Boston took one of her popular names, and from which one of her main thoroughfares is named, no one retains its original form. Fort Hill has disappeared, and the name given to that locality serves merely to puzzle the young generation. Beacon Hill has long since lowered its summit, upon which glowed the fires from which it took its name. And not even Copp's Hill has been spared: seven feet have been taken from its summit, and Snowhill street has been cut through its western border. Like Boston, Copp's Hill has been known by three popular names: the first, Milfield, or Windmill Hill, was so called because in 1632 "The Windmill, which was used to grind the settlers' corn, was brought from Cambridge and placed upon the summit. This was the first windmill erected in the town." It was afterwards called Snow Hill, and then Copp's Hill, which name it bears at the present time; but it is not known when the hill first took its present name. It was so called from William Copp, who owned a house and lot in the south-east corner near Prince street. Mr. Copp's realty is thus recorded on page 15, in the "Original Book of Possession" of the town of Boston, now kept in the archives of the city at the City Hall:

"The possessions of William Copp within the Limits of Boston: One house and Lott of half an acre in the Mill Pond, bounded with Thomas Buttolph south east; John Button north east, The Marsh on the south-west; and the River on the north-west." The above is not dated, but there is reason to believe it was entered in 1644.

In the Probate Office for the County of Suffolk, there is a record of the will of William Copp, Cordwainer. It was dated October 31, 1662, and proved April 27, 1670.
