Whenever Bill moved his family to another town, it was related to his secret philandering. He practiced medicine without a diploma or a license. By the 1850s, Big Bill's behavior went from eccentric to pathologic. He had a double life as both Dr. William Rockefeller and as Dr. William Levingston. He had five siblings: Lucy Rockefeller (1838-1878) William Rockefeller (1841-1922) Mary Ann Rockefeller (1843-1925) Franklin Rockefeller (1845-1917) Francis Rockefeller (1845-1847).
