    Notes:

    Francis Billingsley, a Member of the Lower House fron Calvert County, Maryland, was born ca 1620 at Shropshire, England; died 1684, Selby Clifts, Calvert Co, MD. Married 1646-1647 in Rotterdam, Holland, to Ann (proven by Prov. Court Liber FF Folio 652 - Hall of Records, Annapolis, MD), born 1620-25 in Holland; died ca 1668-70 at Selby Clifts, Calvert Co,MD. Francis Billingsley was a Planter and a Quaker. He was educated in England and resided in England, Holland, and America. - From Historical Southern Families, Volume III by John Bennet Boddie, Chapter 3, "Billingsley of Maryland", p 22.

    He was given several land grants around Calvert County, totalling upwards of 2500 acres, for the transportation of men to Maryland on ships owned or captained by his brother John. Most of the parcels had names (I don't know whether the names predated the land grants, which included both the name and detailed metes-and-bounds descriptions.) Some of the properties are intact today.

    Notes:

    John Billingsley was born 1647, in Rotterdam, Holland, died ca 1690 (lost at sea). Married Jan 1669 in Richmond Co, VA, Sarah Ann Billingsley (1st cousin), born 1652 in Essex County, VA, died 1612, probably in St. Mary's County, MD, daugher of William Billingsley and his wife Sarah Bowman, of Essex Co, VA, who married 2nd William Evart.

    John was was a ship captain for most of his adult life, and transported many of the men for which his uncle Francis received land grants. Francis evidently paid for those trips, and that's what counted. I'm not sure whether John undertook transatlantic voyages, or just sailed among the mid-Atlantic states, so I can't say how far at sea he might have been when he was lost.


    He came to Nansemond County, Virginia with his parents and uncles John and James Billingsley prior to 1649. Arrived in Calvert County, Maryland with his parents about 1652. He moved to Richmond County, Virginia with his parents about 1659. He and his brothers Francis and Edward were legatees to a "Cowe Calfe" each in the will of James Billingsley in 1663, who calls them "my three cozens (nephews) on the Rapehannock." They were also mentioned in the will of Susannah Billingsley, widow of James, in the same year.
