• Notes

  Eldest son of John and Eleanor, he came with his parents and brother Francis. He was born before 1605 but was too young to sign the Mayflower Compact. In July of 1621 he was lost in the woods. Inquiry was made, and Massasoit sent word that he was at Nauset. He had wandered about five days, subsisting on berries. The governor sent ten men in a shallop, with the Indians Squanto and Tockamahamon, to recover him. The party was obliged to take shelter from a storm in Commaquid (Barnstable) harbor. They sent Squanto to the Sachem Aspinet who was accompanied by not less than one hundred warriors when he brought John back. Half of these warriors went to the shallop unarmed, carrying John through the water, while the rest remained at a distance carrying their bows and arrows. John returned to Plymouth with the Plymouth men. John Billington Jr. died at Plymouth between June 1, 1627 and September 1630. He never married. Source: Cameron F. Hutt
