Bill Stanton is Roger Stanton's older brother. He is the sixth son in the older generation of the Stanton Family. Will Stanton was named after him. He left England 20 years before the start of Greenwitch, and makes his second trip home during that story. His first return had been soon after Will's birth, 10 years before. Bill's contact has been minimal, only sending Will a present every Christmas, not responding to thank you letters, and sending Roger a total of 3 letters.
