Biography

Massachusetts Colony

• From John Maltby:

Betty Dilley had a son by Seth Billington:

Frederick Billington, born on 3 June 1769 in Middleborough,^[1] was unmarried and living in Rutland, Rutland Co., VT, in the 1800 federal census,^[2] but was not a head of household in Massachusetts or Vermont in the 1790 federal census. He was apparently married and living in Rutland, VT, in the 1810 federal census,^[3] but he was not a head of household in Rutland, VT, in the 1820 or 1830 federal censuses.

Seth Billington moved to Pelham, Hampshire Co., MA, before 1782, and he died testate in 1783 in Pelham.^[4] His will was dated 13 July 1782 in Pelham, and probated on 21 Oct. 1783. He men­tioned his wife, Betty, and his son John Billington, his daughter “Lidey” Weston, and his son Frederick, under 21, but none of Reuben Washburn’s children.^[5] Betty (Dilley) (Washburn) Billington moved to Rutland, Rutland Co., VT, where she was living next door to her son, Fred­erick Billington, in the 1800 feder­al census,^[6] but neither Betty nor Frederick Billington were listed as head of household in Massachusetts or Vermont in the 1790 federal census. She was probably the female aged 45 or over in the household of Frederick Billington in Rutland, VT, in the 1810 federal census.^[7]
