  This data submitted by Joyce McManigal at cmcman4428-at-aol.com on Sat, 14 Aug 1999. BOOK: John Billington Family. Page 65. 28 DESIRE MARTIN (of Mercy 3 Billington, of Francis 2, of Johns 1), b. Rehoboth 20 March 1684/85, d. there 12 Sept. 1727. [1] She m. Rehoboth 10 July 1707 Jotham Carpenter, [2] b. Swansea, 1 July 1682, [3] bap. Dorchester 1 July 1683, son of Benjamin and Renew (Weeks) Carpenter. [4] He d. prob. Rehoboth, before 8 April 1760. [5) Page 34 - THE JOHN BILLINGTON Family. Elinor, Often Written "Ellen" or "Helen" - by Bradford or by Plymouth court Clerks, invariably was called "Ellinor" In her own and her son's land records. Ellinor Billington, widow, on 8 Jan. 1637/8 for "natural love I bear unto Francis Billington My natural son," Conveyed to him, all her land at Plain Dealing in New Plymouth, reserving enough of the land for her own use during her lifetime. [11] On 28 Aug. 1638 Ellinor Billington, widow, entered into a marriage contract with Gregory Armstrong; and by 21 Sept. 1638 Gregory Armstrong and Ellinor his Wife, with her son Francis Billington, sold land. [11] 0n the last date at which Ellinor is known to living, 2 March 1642/3. Francis Billington of Plymouth, planter, sold three lots of land at Plain Dealing with in the township of Plymouth; Provided that Ellinor, the wife of Gregory Armstrong be allowed to occupy one of the three lots, during her lifetime. [11] It has been pointed out that all that Is known about the Billington Pilgrims, Is written by William Bradford, he Obviously disliked and criticized the entire family from the beginning. The Billingtons were not in sympathy With the aims and tenets of the Plymouth Church, but one wonders that they were not more cooperative with those it authority who struggled to establish and maintain such a fragile colony on the hostile New England shore. John Billington, however, stoutly supported individual independence and freedom of speech, raising the voice of opposition when he disagreed with the rule of government. He and his descendants surely contributed to that integral part of the American character! References: 1. BRADFORD'S HISTORY (1952) pp. 75, 87-8, 156-7, 234, 442. 2. NEHGR 124:116-118, (1970). 3.

JOHN BILLINGTON - FIRST GENERATION 1 JOHN Billington b. England, perhaps Lincolnshire, b. ca 1580, d. Plymouth, in Sept. 1630, executed for murder. [1,2] He m. in England by 1604 ELINOR -, b. England, perhaps Lincolnshire, ca, 15801(11 d. aft. 2 March 1642/3. [31] Although Bradford's, History old Plymouth Colony records often refers to her as 'Ellen' or 'Helen,' when she and her son stated her name in their own deeds as, deeds of 1638-1641, it is invaribly written "Ellinor". She entered into A marriage agreement 28 Aug. 1638, [4] and m. (2) between 14 and 21 Sept, 1638 Gregory Armstrong. [4] He d. Plymouth 5 Nov. 1650. [53] Although Bradford states that the Billington family joined the Mayflower Company from London, there is evidence that they are originally from Lincolnshire. In 1612 Francis Longland, Gent., of Lincolnshire named Francis Billington, as one of his two heirs in a lease of Crown land. [1,2,61 John Billington and his really received three acres In the 1623 Division Of Land at Plymouth and in May 1627 he, his wife and sons John and Francis were named in the Division of Cattle. In 1651 Bradford wrote: 'John Billington, after he had after he had been here ten years, was executed for killing a man, and his eldest son died before him. But his second son is alive and married and hath eight children." [2] Children BILLINGTON b. England, possibly Lincolnshire: [1] i John 2 b. ca. 1504; d. between 22 May 1627 ( the Division of cattle In Plymouth) Sept, 1630, [7,2] In May 1621 as a boy he lost himself in the woods near Plymouth, was found And cared for by the Cape Cod Indians, and was returned to Plymouth by A party of Pilgrims sent that June to bring him home. [2,8] 2 ii FRANCIS b. ca. 1606 or 1609: In 1650 the Lincolnshire survey of crown lands determined that Francis Billington of New England, a secondary lesses, was aged forty Years or thereabouts" In the previous Year, thus b. Ca. 1609. [1] In 1674 Francis Billington deposed that he was aged 68. [9]
