Stonehill Surname Definition:

This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'at the stone-hall', from residence therein. The evidence is, so far as I can discover, in favour of this derivation, viz. the hall or mansion built of stone, not the stony hill, which is a modern and natural corruption.

1694. — Mary Stonell: ibid.

The following are manifest corruptions:

1703. Married — Richard Stonell and Elizabeth Spakeman: St. James, Clerkenwell.

1750. — Richard Sills and Mary Stonnill: St. George, Hanover Square.

1797. — Nathaniel Stonhill and Catherine Anderton: ibid.
