  • Children on the Mayflower
    PILGRIM HALL MUSEUM America’s Oldest Continuous Museum – Located in Historic Plymouth Massachusetts www.pilgrimhallmuseum.org CHILDREN ON THE MAYFLOWER How many children were on the Mayflower? This seems like an easy question but it is hard to answer! Let’s say we wanted to count every passenger on the ship who was 18 years of age or younger. To figure out how old a person was in 1620, when the Mayflower voyage took place, you would need to know their date of birth. In some cases, though, there just isn’t enough information! On this list, we’ve included passengers who were probably or possibly age 18 or less. Some children were traveling with their families. Others came over as servants or apprentices. Still others were wards, or children in the care of guardians. There are 35 young people on the list. Some of them may have been very close to adulthood, like the servant Dorothy (last name unknown), who was married in the early years of Plymouth Colony. The list also includes Will Butten. He was a youth who died during the voyage and never arrived to see land. This list includes very young children and even some babies! Oceanus Hopkins was born during the Mayflower’s voyage across the Atlantic. The baby was given his unusual name as a result. Another boy, Peregrine White, was born aboard the ship while it was anchored at Cape Cod harbor - his name means traveler or “pilgrim.” A good source for more information on Mayflower passengers is Caleb Johnson’s http://mayflowerhistory.com/mayflower- passenger-list.

  • 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.

  • Family: Descendants of Richard Waterman of Providence, Rhode Island, 3 Vols
    THOMAS2 AND NICHOLAS3 HARRIS OF PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND Helen Schatvet Ullmann, CGSM, FASG This compilation follows my own line for three generations from Thomas1 Harris, whose origin in Kent, England, is to be published in The New England Historical and Genealogical Register in 2013 along with a biography and list of his children. THOMAS2 HARRIS, son of Thomas1 and Elizabeth (____) Harris, was born, perhaps in England but more likely in Providence, Rhode Island, probably about 1637. He died in Providence on 27 February 1710/1.[1] He married in Providence on 3 November 1664 ELNATHAN TEW[2] who was born in Newport, Rhode Island, on 15 October 1644, daughter of Richard and Mary (Clarke) Tew.[3] She died on 11 January 1718 in her 77th year and was buried in St. Peters Churchyard in Johnston, Rhode Island, and moved to the North Burial Ground in Providence.[4] An unreliable source says she died at Limerock, Rhode Island, on that date,[5] Lime Rock being a village then in Providence, later in Smithfield, now in Lincoln. A few facts give glimpses of Thomas’s life. On 19 February 1665 Thomas acquired lot 49 in a division of lands. On 1 July 1679 he was taxed 8s 9d. He served as deputy, i.e., a member of the colony government in 1671, 1679–82, 1685, 1691, 1694, 1997, 1702, 1706–08 and 1710. From 1684 to 1686 he was on the town council.
