A Mayflower passenger.
John Billington (also spelled Billinton) was born in Lincolnshire around 1580. He lived in Cowbit, Lincolnshire before emigrating to the New World.
Billington departed on the Mayflower in September 1620 with his wife Eleanor and sons John Jr. and Francis. Thanks to inclement weather, the ship arrived in America hundreds of miles further north than intended. Along with forty others, Billington signed the Mayflower Compact on November 11 (O.S.), while the ship lay at anchor. Disembarking at Cape Cod, the Pilgrims founded Plymouth, a colony that would lose almost half its inhabitants the first winter.
The Billingtons thoroughly established themselves as troublemakers among the Pilgrims. John Sr. challenged Myles Standish's authority on multiple occasions. Though implicated in a 1624 revolt against the Plymouth church, Billington insisted that he was innocent and escaped punished. In 1625, William Bradford wrote a letter to Robert Cushman denouncing Billington as a "knave."
Other incidents only contributed to the Billington family reputation. Francis nearly blew up the Mayflower. John Jr. got lost in the woods and was captured by the hostile Nausets. Eleanor was pilloried and whipped for slander.
John Billington is best remembered for an event in September 1630, on a day he went out hunting for deer. He stumbled across his mortal enemy, a young settler named John Newcomen. Newcomen, fearing for his life, hid behind some trees. Billington, deadly marksman to the last, struck Newcomen in the shoulder, a shot that spelled death for both of them. Billington was tried by jury, convicted, and hanged for the murder.
Two contemporary sources record the details.
"This year John Billington the elder (one that came over with the first) was arraigned; and both by grand, and petty jury found guilty of willful murder; by plain and notorious evidence. And was for the same accordingly executed. This as it was the first execution amongst them, so was it a matter of great sadness unto them; they used all due means about his trial, and took the advice of Mr. Winthrop, and other the ablest gentlemen in the Bay of Massachusetts, that were then newly come over, who concurred with them that he ought to die, and the land be purged from blood. He and some of his, had been often punished for miscarriages before, being one of the profanest families amongst them; ... His fact was, that he waylaid a young man, one John Newcomen (about a former quarrel) and shot him with a gun, whereof he died."
- William Bradford
"So when this wilderness began first to be peopled by the English where there was but one poor town, another Cain was found therein, who maliciously slew his neighbor in the field, as he accidentally met him, as he himself was going to shoot deer. The poor fellow perceiving the intent of this Billington, his mortal enemy, sheltered himself behind trees as well as he could for a while; but the other, not being so ill a marksman as to miss his aim, made a shot at them, and struck him on the shoulder, with which he died soon after. The murderer expected that either for want of power to execute for capital offenses, or for want of people to increase the plantation, he should have his life spared; but justice otherwise determined."
- William Hubbard, clergyman

From http://mayflower.americanancestors.org/john-1 (NEHGS)
John Billington traveled on Mayflower with his wife Elinor and sons John and Francis.
John and his family were particularly troublesome for the order-loving Puritans. He was hanged in 1630 for the crime of killing a fellow colony member, John Newcomen, with whom he had a long-running feud. He was the first man executed by hanging in the colony.
Misc:
The first offence since our arrival is of John Billington ... and is this month convented before the whole company for his contempt of the Captain's [Myles Standish] lawfull commands with opprobrious speeches, for which he is adjudged to have his neck and heels tied together. But upon humbling himself and craving pardon, it being the first offence, he is forgiven.

John Billington Senior, Hellen Billington, and Francis Billington were the 11th through 13th persons in the 7th company. John Billington Jr was the 10th person in the 9th company.John married Elinor in BY 1604 in Lincolnshire, England, United Kingdom.

A Mayflower passenger.
John Billington Jr. was born around 1604. His family had some connections to Lincolnshire.
John sailed on the Mayflower accompanied by his brother Francis and parents John and Eleanor.
Author David Beale writes of a time when young John "wandered off into the woods and was captured five days later by Nauset Indians, the same hostile Indians the Pilgrims had encountered during their initial exploration around Cape Cod. At the familiar sight of the Pilgrims' muskets, the Nausets gladly turned the young Billington over to the ten men who had come to rescue him!"
He died in Plymouth Colony some time between May 1627 and September 1630.3. Francis Billington (1.John1) was born in 1606–1609 in Lincolnshire, England, United Kingdom; died on 3 Dec 1684 in Middleboro, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States.

Notes:
There is a death record in 1845 for a Benjamin Peterson, age 8, listed as son of Franklin. Another record says he could be the son of Washington. But, since this Benjamin appears in the same family as Franklin and the rest of the family in 1855, I really do not believe the 1845 Benjamin is this one.
Military:
On 24 Feb 1900, he applied for an invalid pension from the Civil War.

On 8 Jan 1915, his widow applied for a Widow's pension as well.

They are next door to Benjamin's father in 1900. Benjamin's birth date is recorded as Oct 1836, but Maria's is Oct 1843.

Notes:
So far, we have not yet found a death date for Sarah. She does not appear in the Massachusetts 1920 or 1930 census. Nor in the town records or death indexes. It seems unlikely that she moved away but we have not found a death record.
There is a story in the Boston Globe about a Sarah Hooper, elderly (62 years), paralytic, who was being transported to the state hospital at Tewksbury and got stuck in a hearse for 8 hours. But, our Sarah Hooper is in Whitman in 1917-1920.
Census:
Sarah is enumerated in her father's home in 1900. There is a Benjamin F. Peterson next door who may be an older brother. She is listed as divorced and as having 3 children, all three of whom are still living. Sarah notes that she had three children, all of whom are still living in 1910.
Census:
In 1910, Sarah is living as a boarder. She reports that she is a widow and that 2 of her 3 children are living.Sarah married Amos W. Merrow on 13 Apr 1873 in Abington, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States, and was divorced on 8 Aug 1877 in Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States. Amos (son of Seth Merrow and Phoebe) was born in 1849 in New Hampshire, United States; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Notes:
Rotha never married.
As a child, after her father abandoned the family, Rotha went to live with an aunt and uncle.
Census:
Rotha is found in the home of Ancon(?) W. and Clara H. Jenkins and is listed as a niece of the head of the household.
Clara H. Jenkins is Clara Hooper Jenkins, aunt of Cora and great-aunt of Rotha.
Census:
In 1920, Rotha is listed merely as the ward of Ancon W. Jenkins. His wife, Clara is no longer in the home. Remarkably, he has gone from 50 to 40 years old. It seems likely that the age in 1910 was incorrect.
Census:
Rotha is listed as a stenographer in 1930 for an attorney.
Residence:
Rotha returned from Bermuda on 21 Jun 1937 aboard the Queen of Bermuda. She reported that she was 33 years old, born in 1904 in Whitman, Mass.
This is really probably 123 W. 13th St, since that's where the Evangeline Residence was located.
Died:
Some sources hint that her death happened in Hanover, but the Massachusetts Death Index says Braintree.57.
