The Black Sheep of our Wright Pilgrim Ancestors: John, Eleanor and Francis Billington

John Billington(1580-1630)-W792, Eleanor(1582-1643)-W793, and Francis Billington(1606-1684)-W396

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

The Billington's were the trouble makers of the Plymouth colony.  John ended up being hung for murder and his son almost blew up the Mayflower playing with a gun near the power kegs.  My kids actually have a children's book on the pilgrims that mentions this incident.  Francis also discovered what is now called the Billington Sea.  For more info on them, see the Wikipedia article.
