    Notes:

    WILLIAM BRADFORD came on the "Mayflower" with his wife Dorothy (May). S he fell off the boat and drowned when it was anchored in Cape Cod (Prov incetown) Harbor. After the death of John Carver, he was elected governor of the Plymouth c olony, and continued in that capacity nearly all his life. He also wro te "Of Plymouth Plantation", chronicling the history of the Plymouth co lony, and the events that led up to their leaving England for Holland, a nd later to New England. Family History: 217 Genealogy Books There is another very interesting paper included in Mr. DRAKE'S w ork, which may be briefly noticed. It consists of extracts from the mu nicipal records of Leyden, in Holland, made by the Hon. HENRY C. MURPHY . Many English families took refuge in Leyden, and the list referred t o is a register of the births, marriages, and deaths which occurred the re among the exiles. It was from Leyden that many of the first settler s in New England, popularly known as the Pilgrim Fathers, came, and emb arking from English ports, sailed on board the ships MAYFLOWER, FORTUNE, ANN, and LITTLE JAMES. Among other notices contained in this list, are the following:--- WILLIAM BRADFORD, of Austerfield, Eng., m. Nov. 30, 1613, DOROTHY MAY, of Witzbuts, Eng.* The place here mentioned may be traced as Wisbeach, in Cambridgeshire. A f amily of the name of MAY certainly lived at Wisbeach at the time referr ed to. The foregoing extracts sufficiently demonstrate the nature of the Leyde n records. Further notices are unnecessary, but the list of those who e mbarked in the before-mentioned ships is of sufficient value to entitle i ts insertion in this place,though it must be remembered that it is not a bsolutely official.It is taken from the interesting work of the Rev. As hbel Steele, A.M., entitled "Chief of the Pilgrims, or the Life and Tim es of William Brewster." Philadelphia, 1857, pp. 401-410. * Both Bradford and Winslow sailed in the MAYFLOWER. LIST OF PASSENGERS IN THE MAYFLOWER; Being the names of those who came over first, in the year 1620, and we re the founders of New Plymouth, which led to the planting of the other N ew England Colonies. This list of their "names" and families, was pres erved by Governor Bradford at the close of his History, and is here pre sented in the order in which he placed them. The value of such an accu rate list cannot be too highly estimated. JOHN HOWLAND; man servant, afterwards married the daughter of JOHN TI LLIE, and had ten children. Mr. WILLIAM BRADFORD; their second Governor, author of the history of the Plymouth Colony, lived to the year 1657. DOROTHY, his wife; who died soon after their arrival. Governor BRADFORD left a son in England to come afterwards---had four children by a second marriage. Mr. ISAAC ALLERTON; chosen first assistant to the Governor. MARY, his wife; who died in the fist sickness. BARTHOLOMEW; son, married in England. REMEMBER and MARY, daughters. RE- MEMBER married in Salem, had three or four children. MARY married in Plymouth, had four children. Capt. MYLES STANDISH; who lived to the year 1656; chief in military affairs. ROSE, his wife; died in the first sickness. Capt. STAN - DISH had four sons living in 1650, by a second marriage. Mr. WILLIAM MULLINS, his wife, JOSEPH, a son; these three died the first winter. PRISCILLA, a daughter; survived and married JOHN ALDEN. ROBERT CARTER, servant; died the first winter. Mr. RICHARD WARREN; his wife and five daughters were left, and came over afterwards. They also had two sons; and the daughters married here. JOHN TILLIE, and his wife; both died soon after they came on shore. ELIZABETH, their daughter; afterwards married JOHN HOWLAND. FRANCIS COOKE; who lived until after 1650; his wife and other childr en came afterwards; they had six or more children. JOHN, his son; afterwards married; had four children. The wife of D. PRIEST, and children, came afterwards, she being the sister of Mr. ALLERTON. JOHN ALDEN; "a hopeful young man," hired at Southampton, married PRISCILLA MULLENS, as mentioned, and had eleven children. Accordingly he says of the Mayflower company: "These being about a hu ndred souls, came over in the first ship." Afterwards he adds: "Of the se one hundred persons who came over in this first ship together, the greatest half di ed in the general mortality, and most of them in two or three months' t ime." Omitting those two hired sailors who returned, and counting the person t hat died and the child that was born while on the passage as one passen ger, we have the exact number---one hundred of the Pilgrim Company, "who came over in t he first ship." And, as fifty-one died the first season, this enumerat ion makes good those other words of the historian, that,"the greater ha lf died in the general mortality." Bradford, at the age of 18, joined with the group of Separatists that f led from England in fear of persecution, arriving in Amsterdam in 1608. A y ear later he migrated with the rest of the church to the town of Leiden , Holland, where they remained for eleven years. In Leiden, Bradford t ook up the trade of a silk weaver to make ends meet, and also was able t o recover some of the estate in England that he had been left by his fa ther, to support himself and his new wife in Leiden. They had a son, J ohn, born about 1615-1617.
