I posted some BILLINGSLEY information on RootsWeb > Maryland > unknown county. Francis BILLINGSLEY died in 1695, & Susanna m2. 8 of tenth month {December?} 1699, Robert GOVER. It appears that Robert GOVER, Sr., died very soon after his 1699 marriage, and his eldest son Robert also died in 1700.

Do a Google search for "Robert Gover" +Billingsley
That brings up a comprehensive history of the Billingsley family. This says that the Francis who died in 1695 was b. ca. 1653, MD, s/o Francis, b. ca. 1620, Co. Salop / Shropshire, England. The first Francis moved to Holland with his parents and then to Virginia and Maryland. Sorry, this does not identify wf. Susanna.
Early Settlers of MD, by G. SKORDAS, from land records: Francis BILLINGSLY of Calvert Co., MD, immigrated by 1652 with wife and son John. Francis BILLINGSLY transported by 1656, James & Thomas BILLINGSLY [Q:203, 5:73, 12:357].
Do you know the names of the granddaughters that Susanna [ _ ] BILLINGSLY GOVER mentioned but didn't name in her will?
