John Allerton and Thomas Enlish were both hired, the later to goe m' of a shalop here, and ye other was reputed as 2. one of yo company, but was to go back (being a seaman)

for the help of others behind. But they both dyed here, before the shipe returned.

There were allso other 2. seamen hired to stay a year 2. here in the country, William Trevore,* and one Ely. when their time was out, they both returned.†

But

These, bening aboute a hundred sowls,‡ came over in this first ship; and began this worke, which God of his goodnes hath hithertoo blesed; let his holy name have ye praise.

And seeing it hath pleased him to give me to see 30. years compleated since these beginings; and that the great works of his providence are to be observed, I have thought it not unworthy my paines to take a veiw of the decreasings & increasings of these persons, and such changs as hath pased over them & theirs, in this thirty years. It may be of some use to such as come after; but, however, I shall rest in my owne benefite.

I will therfore take them in order as they lye.

Mr. Carver and his wife dyed the first year; he in ye spring, she in ye somer; also, his man Roger and ye litle boy Jasper dyed before either of them, of ye commone infection. Desire Minter returned to her freinds, & proved not very well, and dyed in England. His servant boy Latham, after more then 20. years stay in the country, went into England, and from thence to the Bahamy Ilands in ye West Indies, and ther, with some others, was starved for want of food. His maid servant maried, & dyed a year or tow after, here in this place.

His servant, John Howland, maried the doughter of John Tillie, Elizabeth, and they are both now living, and have 15. 10. children, now all living; and their eldest daughter bath 4. children. And ther 2. daughter, 1. all living; and other of their children mariagable.

So 15. are come of them.

Hopkins should be deducted, which will leave the true number of passengers 102. See page 77.-ED.

[ocr errors]

Mr. Brewster lived to very old age; about 80. years he was when he dyed, having lived some 23. or 24. years here in ye countrie; & though his wife dyed long before, yet she dyed aged. His sone Wrastle dyed a yonge man unmaried; 4. his sone Love lived till this year 1650. and dyed, & left 4. children, now living. His doughters which came over after him are dead, but have left sundry children alive; his eldst sone is still liveing, and hath 9. or 10. children; one 2. maried, who hath a child or 2.

4.

Richard More his brother dyed the first winter; but he is maried, and hath 4. or 5. children, all living.

Mr. Ed: Winslow his wife dyed the first winter; and he 2. maried with the widow of Mr. White, and hath 2. children living by her marigable, besids sundry that are dead.

One of his servants dyed, as also the litle girle, soone 8. after the ships arivall. But his man, Georg Sowle, is still living, and hath 8. childre.

* William Bradford his wife dyed soone after their arivall; and he maried againe; † and hath 4. children, 3. wherof are 4. maried.

8.

Mr. Allerton his wife dyed with the first, and his servant, John Hooke. His sone Barth is maried in England, but I know not how many children he hath. His doughter Remember is maried at Salem, & hath 3. or 4. children living. And his doughter Mary is maried here, & hath 4. children. Him selfe maried againe with ye doughter of Mr. Brewster, & hath one sone living by her, but she is long since dead. And he is maried againe, and hath left this place long agoe. So I account his increase to be 8. besids his sons in England.

Mr. Fuller his servant dyed at sea; and after his wife 2. came over, he had tow children by her, which are living and growne up to years; but he dyed some 15. years agoe.‡

Ther sone became a seaman, & 5. dyed at Barbadoes; one daughter dyed here, and 2. are maried; one of them hath 2. children; & one is yet to mary. So their increase which still survive are 5. But his 4. sone Giles is maried, and hath 4. children.

12.

His doughter Constanta is also maried, and hath 12. children, all of them living, and one of them maried.

*Who dyed 3. of Octob. 1655. [If this note is by Bradford, it is not written in his usual hand, and was penned subsequently to the text. Prince has the following manuscript note in his own copy of the Memorial, under this year: In the list at the e[nd] of Governor Bradford[s] MS. folio 't is writ that Captain Standish died October 3,

1655. But his son William's Table Book says October 3, 1656; and Captain Standish being chosen Assistant in 1656 shows that his death must [have taken place after 1655].” The part in brackets is trimmed off, and is supplied by conjecture. - ED.]
