| Notes |
- Mayflower - Pilgrim
Mary Chilton (1607-ca.1679) was a Pilgrim and purportedly the first Euro p ean woman to step ashore at Plymouth, Massachusetts.
Mary Chilton was born on May 31, 1607 in Sandwich, Kent, England and w a s the daughter of Mayflower passenger James Chilton. At the age of thir te en, she accompanied her parents on the voyage to Plymouth. Her father , a t age sixty-four, was the oldest passenger on the Mayflower.
It was once believed that Susannah Furner was her mother, but this was c o nclusively disproved in 1999 by researcher Michael Paulick. Susannah Fu rn er was in fact James Chilton's step-sister.
By legend, Mary Chilton was the first female passenger to step ashor e a t Plymouth, reportedly so excited that she jumped out of the small bo at a nd waded ashore onto "Plymouth Rock." [1]
Her father died on December 8, 1620 aboard the Mayflower and her mothe r d ied six weeks later on January 21, 1621, also aboard ship, both on th e fi rst infection of the disease. This was proclaimed by the Governor o f Plym outh, William Bradford in 1650. Once orphaned, it is believed sh e becam e the ward of Myles Standish. Chilton was given three shares in t he lan d division of 1623, one for each of her family members that died . Her pro perty was situated between those of Standish and John Howland.
She was one of eleven under-age girls on the Mayflower. Of these, she w a s one of the nine to survive the first year at Plymouth and would hav e be en present at the time of the famous First Thanksgiving in 1621. I n contr ast, only four of the fourteen adult women survived the first yea r.
She married John Winslow (possibly on October 12, 1624) and thus becam e t he sister-in-law of Mayflower passenger Edward Winslow. They had te n chil dren: John, Susannah, Mary, Edward, Sarah, Samuel, Joseph, Isaac , an un-n amed child who probably died in infancy, and Benjamin. All bu t Benjamin m arried, and Benjamin's birth is the only one listed in the r ecords of Ply mouth colony.
The family moved to Boston some time after the birth of Benjamin in 165 3 . There John Winslow is said to have prospered as a merchant.
She made out a will on July 31, 1676 (the only female passenger on the M a yflower to do so) and died before May 1, 1679 in Boston.
