1606c: Francis Billington was born.

Note: Early in January, shortly after the settlement at Plymouth, son Francis Billington saw from the top of a tree on a high hill "a great sea as he thought" which he later explored with one of the ship's crew. The two lakes thus discovered have ever since been known as "Billington Sea".
"Mourt's Relation" pp. 31, 44 and 69-70

1642, April 18: He (Francis Billington) apprenticed his daughter Elizabeth.
"Plymouth Colony Record" II:38.

1684: Francis Billington died at the age of 80 years of age.

Francis Billington, the sole surviving son: John's son Francis was one of the first Pilgrims punished for premarital sex. How he and Christian Penn were "caught" is unknown; their first child, Elizabeth wasn't born until a year, to the month, after their marriage. He lived at Plymouth until 1669; then he moved to Middleboro and lived on land granted to him as one of the "First Comers."
"Plymouth Colony Land Records" I:344 and III:129

He (Francis Billington) lived there until his death, except for a few years when he took refuge at Plymouth during the King Philip's War.

1643, January 14: He bound-out son Joseph, "aged vi or vii" and two daughters, probably Martha and Mary, one five years old and the other even younger.
Plymouth town records"

1651: Francis Billington had eight children. In his old age, Francis was dependent on his son Isaac for support and died intestate. No probate record appears, although Isaac petitioned the probate court in 1703/4 for title to his father's Middleboro lands, stating he had had sole care of his parents in their old age. "Plymouth County Property Records"

1719: A quitclaim deed from Francis's grandson, Francis Billington (Family #12) reading "my father Francis and grandfather [unnamed] Billington" seems to imply a son Francis, Jr. But in the absence of any mention of such a son in contemporary Plymouth records, coupled with the fact that Francis's deed evidently transferred the shares of Joseph Billington, we conclude that the deed contains a clerical error. The origional must have read "my father Joseph and grandfather Francis Billington."
Plymouth County Land Records"XIV:255

1722, September: A Plymouth County Court case brought by Isaac's daughter Desire (Billington) Bonney and her husband, James, shows that Francis Billington died intestate leaving issue, two sons and five daughters [see below]. Isaac as the eldest undoubtedly got a double portion as there were a total of eight shares in the estate. "Plymouth County Court Records, 1686-1859" V:145

Indications are that the seven children named in the Bonney suit and their progeny were the only survivors of Francis Billington.
