It has become pretty well established (at least for now) that William Billing's wife Mary was not Mary Atherton. The record reads that William Billing m. Mary [surname blank] 5 Feb 1657/58. Mary Atherton, daughter of Major Humphrey Atherton, married Joseph Weeks 9 Apr. 1667. Reference "An Index to Vital Records of Dorchester, Massachusetts, through 1825," by Sanford Charles Gladden. William Billing d. 16 Mar 1712/13 and Mary, his wife, d. 27 Feb. 1717/18, both in Stonington, New London Co., CT. By 1682, Mary and William had 11 children. Also reference "Records of the Proprietors of the Narragansett, otherwise called The Fones Record, Rhode Island Colonial Gleanings," by James N. Arnold, ed. of the Narragansett Historical Register, Compiled Vital Records of Rhode Island, etc., in which the various land dealings (also known as the Atherton Purchase) by Major Humphrey Atherton, et. al, are detailed. Major Atherton's sons and sons-in-law are named, but William Billing is not mentioned.
