• Notes

  From FindaGrave: John Billington was an Englishman who traveled to the New World on the Mayflower and was one of the signers of the Mayflower Compact. In September 1630, John was executed by hanging in Plymouth Massachusetts, for shooting a young man, John Newcomen. Very little is known of John Newcomen.
