Billings Family BiographiesThe Billings Family was important to Ottawa’s development and that of its surrounding area because they started a legacy of community involvement and service. As Gloucester Township’s first settlers, Braddish Billings and Lamira Dow Billings used both private and public means to participate in medicine and health care, business and land development as well as with civic development and interests. Through hard work and ingenuity, the Billings were able to persevere and prosper for generations, in the same geographical area, while many other families did not.
