  • William Bradford's Life and Influence Have Been Chronicled by Many. As the Co-Author of Mourt's Relation, the Author of of Plymo
    William Bradford's life and influence have been chronicled by many. As the co-author of Mourt's Relation, the author of Of Plymouth Plantation, and the long-term governor of Plymouth Colony, his documented activities are vast in scope. The success of the Plymouth Colony is largely due to his remarkable ability to manage men and affairs. The information presented here will not attempt to recreate all of his activities. Instead, we will present: a portion of the biography of William Bradford written by Cotton Mather and originally published in 1702, a further reading list, selected texts which may not be usually found in other publications, and information about items related to William Bradford which may be found in Pilgrim Hall Museum. Cotton Mather's Life of William Bradford (originally published 1702) "Among those devout people was our William Bradford, who was born Anno 1588 in an obscure village called Ansterfield... he had a comfortable inheritance left him of his honest parents, who died while he was yet a child, and cast him on the education, first of his grand parents, and then of his uncles, who devoted him, like his ancestors, unto the affairs of husbandry. Soon a long sickness kept him, as he would afterwards thankfully say, from the vanities of youth, and made him the fitter for what he was afterwards to undergo. When he was about a dozen years old, the reading of the Scripture began to cause great impressions upon him; and those impressions were much assisted and improved, when he came to enjoy Mr.

  • CHILDREN on the MAYFLOWER by Ruth Godfrey Donovan
    CHILDREN ON THE MAYFLOWER by Ruth Godfrey Donovan The "Mayflower" sailed from Plymouth, England, September 6, 1620, with 102 people aboard. Among the passengers standing at the rail, waving good-bye to relatives and friends, were at least thirty children. They ranged in age from Samuel Eaton, a babe in arms, to Mary Chilton and Constance Hopkins, fifteen years old. They were brought aboard for different reasons. Some of their parents or guardians were seeking religious freedom. Others were searching for a better life than they had in England or Holland. Some of the children were there as servants. Every one of the youngsters survived the strenuous voyage of three months. As the "Mayflower" made its way across the Atlantic, perhaps they frolicked and played on the decks during clear days. They must have clung to their mothers' skirts during the fierce gales the ship encountered on other days. Some of their names sound odd today. There were eight-year-old Humility Cooper, six-year-old Wrestling Brewster, and nine-year-old Love Brewster. Resolved White was five, while Damans Hopkins was only three. Other names sound more familiar. Among the eight-year- olds were John Cooke and Francis Billington. John Billington, Jr. was six years old as was Joseph Mullins. Richard More was seven years old and Samuel Fuller was four. Mary Allerton, who was destined to outlive all others aboard, was also four. She lived to the age of eighty-three. The Billington boys were the mischief-makers. Evidently weary of the everyday pastimes, Francis and John, Jr.

William Bradford’s writings… William Bradford travelled on the Mayflower and he has left us some fantastic details about the passengers and settlers. The next few pages have some extracts from his writings. Bradford wrote: ‘The names of those which came over first, in the year 1620, and were by the blessing of God the first beginners and in a sort the foundation of all the Plantations and Colonies in New England; and their families.’ He ended the writings with the words: ‘From William Bradford, Of Plimoth Plantation, 1650’ Read ` If you want to read more see the separate document their Mayflower Biographies Also Click here to link to the stories… Mayflower 400 website Read their stories… Mr. John Carver, Katherine his wife, Desire Minter, and two manservants, John Howland, Roger Wilder.

He may have been one of the original members of the Scrooby Separatists. Katherine Leggatt was from a Nottinghamshire family and it’s thought that they married in Leiden before 1609. They buried a child there in 1617. In 1620, John was sent from Holland to London to negotiate the details of the migration. John was elected the governor of the Mayflower and, on arrival in America, he became the governor of the colony too.

    VOLUME 32 Issue 2 – Summer 2019 Evergreen Log Editor - Cousin Barb Doughty Maghirang washingtonmayflower.org THE NEWSLETTER OF THE SOCIETY OF MAYFLOWER DESCENDANTS IN WASHINGTON STATE Women of the Mayflower When the ship arrived in Cape Cod, the men went to shore - spending two months trying to find a suitable place to settle before building storehouses and creating the beginnings of Plymouth. The women stayed on the Mayflower to care for the sick and the young - in damp, crowded and filthy conditions, which meant many would die before they were able to step foot on land. Just five women would make it through that first, harsh winter.

    The Jabez Howland House: A Time Line Throughout history also known as Caughtaugh-canteist, Strawberry Hill, The Garden Spot, Carver House and Watson’s Hill 1665/7 Jacob Mitchell granted a deed for land and builds a house; he married in 1666. 1669 Jacob received a deed of gift from his father, Experience Mitchell, for land in Dartmouth on November 5, 1669, and sold the house and land to Jabez Howland, son of John and Elizabeth Howland. 1680 (Jan. 10) Jabez Howland sells the house to Elkanah Watson (Plymouth Registry of Deeds, Old Colony Records, V. 4, pg. 393) “.........house and land called by the name Garden Spot.......” Also of note: At the end of the deed after Jabez Howland’s signature: “Elizabeth Howland senior yielded up her free right also in the house and land men- tioned..” followed by: “Bethyah Howland wife of Jabez Howland above mentioned gave her free consent to this deed the 15th of January 1680 before mee William Bradford Assistant.” This shows our ancestress Elizabeth Tilley Howland had an interest in the house and lived there. The Howland Quarterly lists the following ownership, but does not list the sources: (Editor’s Note – Since at times only portions of the lot were sold, it seems like there are discrepancies when there really aren’t; other sources include John Howland, A Mayflower Pilgrim, 1926; Descendants of Edward Small of New England, 1910) 1680 Jabez Howland moved to Bristol, RI, sold to Elkanah Watson, who sold to his son John Watson, who sold to Stephen Churchill in 1707.
