Elinor[1] was born about 1582[2] presumably in England and died aft 2 Mar 1642/3.[3] She married twice, first by 1604[4] to John Billington, then between 14-21 Sep 1638 to George Armstrong.[5]
By her first husband, Elinor and John Billington only had two sons: John & Francis. Elinor did not have any children by her second husband, Gregory Armstrong.
