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.

==Summary of findings==
It would appear that there are no known direct matrilineal descendants of Elinor, wife of John Billington. Since we do not even know her maiden name, there is no way to conduct mtDNA testing currently.
