Elinor [Unknown]

Abt 1580 - Aft 1643  (63 years)

• Name	Elinor [Unknown]  [1]
  Birth	Abt 1580	Lincolnshire, England   [2, 3]
  Gender	Female
  Death	Aft 2 Mar 1642/43  [2]
  Notes	Although Bradford's History and Plymouth Colony records often refer to her as "Ellen" or "Helen," when she and her son stated her name in their own deeds of 1638-1643, it is invariably written "Ellinor." Eleanor Billington came with her husband and two sons, John Jr. and Francis, on the Mayflower, on which they had a cabin, an unusual privilege, the reason perhaps being that the Billingtons, who were from a high-up English family, had paid lavishly for this extra comfort. There is evidence that John had a brother, Francis, who went to John Smith's colony about the same time. The family in England spelled their name Bylington. They belonged to the Judges in the time of Henry VIII. In 1638 Eleanor married Gregory Armstrong and their antenuptual contract is said to be the first on record in America.
