James Chilton was born about 1556, probably at Canterbury, Kent, Englan d , the son of Lyonell and Edith Chilton. James married about 1583, and h a d his first child (Joel) baptized at St. Paul's, Canterbury, Kent, Engl an d in August 1584. The name of James Chilton's wife is not found in an y r ecords. The long-published claim that she was named Susanna Furner wa s di sposed of by Michael Paulick's research published in 1999 and 2007.
James Chilton and wife had eight children born in Canterbury, Kent, befo r e moving about 1600 to Sandwich, Kent, where he had his last three chil dr en baptized. In 1609, his wife (unfortunately called simply "___ Chilt o n wife of James Chilton," was charged by the Archdeaconry Court with at te nding the secret burial of a child (they opposed the "popish" burial c ere monies of the Church of England). It was presumably not long before t he f amily left for Holland. In 1619, James Chilton (aged 63) and his old est d aughter Isabella were caught in the middle of an anti-Arminian rio t in Le iden, and he was hit in the head with a stone, requiring the serv ices o f the town surgeon Jacob Hey.
James, his wife, and his youngest daughter Mary, all came on the Mayflow e r in 1620. James, at the age of 64, was the oldest person known to hav e m ade the Mayflower's voyage. James died on 8 December 1620 onboard th e May flower, which was then anchored off Provincetown Harbor--one of si x passe ngers to die in the month of December. His wife also died sometim e the fi rst winter, but daughter Mary survived.
