| Notes |
- Mayflower - Pilgrim
Edward Winslow was born in Droitwich, Co. Worcester in 1595. He was trav e ling in the Low Countries, and subsequently became acquainted with th e Pi lgrims' church in Leiden. He was married in Leiden in 1618 to Elizab eth B arker, and was called a printer of London at the time. It is quit e possib le he was assisting William Brewster and Thomas Brewer in thei r publishin g of religious books that were illegal in England.
Edward Winslow and wife Elizabeth came on the Mayflower to Plymouth in 1 6 20. Elizabeth died the first winter, and Edward remarried to the widow e d Mrs. Susanna White, on 12 May 1621--the first marriage in the Plymou t h Colony.
Winslow quickly became one of the more prominent men in the colon y . H e w as on many of the early explorations of Cape Cod, and led a num be r of expeditions to meet and trade with the Indians. He wrote severa l fir st-hand accounts of these early years, including portions of A Rela tion o r Journal of the Proceedings of the Plantation Settled at Plymout h (Londo n, 1622) and the entirety of Good News from New England(London , 1624).
Edward Winslow became involved in defending the Plymouth and later Mas s a c husetts Bay Colonies from their opponents and adversaries in Englan d , a n d made several trips back and forth between England and Massachus et ts, in cluding trips in 1623/4, 1630, and 1634; on one occasion he wa s ar re ste d and thrown into the Fleet Prison in London by his adversari es, o n g roun ds that he had performed marriage ceremonies without bein g ordai ne d (th e Pilgrims viewed marriage as an event to be handled b y the civi l m agistr ates, not by the Church). Winslow returned to Engla nd shortl y aft er th e English Civil War, and published a couple of pamp hlets in d efens e of th e New England colonies, including Hypocrisy Unma sked (1646 ) andNe w Englan d's Salamander Discovered (1647). He also wro te the intr oductio n to th e Glorious Progress of the Gospel Amongst th e Indians i n New Engl and (164 9).
In Plymouth, he held a number of political offices, as was routinely e l e c ted an assistant to Governor William Bradford; Winslow himself wa s el ec te d governor of Plymouth on three occasions: 1632/3, 1635/6, an d 1644 . Aft er Winslow returned to England, he was on several Parliament ary c o mmittee s. He died in 1655 at sea between Hispaniola and Jamaica , whi l e servin g as a commissioner for Oliver Cromwell on a military ex pediti o n to retak e the island of Hispaniola.
