Mayflower - Pilgrim

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.

James married Mrs Chilton about 1584 in Canterbury, Kent, England. Mrs died on 21 Jan 1621 in At Sea, Atlantic Ocean. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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.

Mary married John Winslow on 12 Oct 1624 in Plymouth, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States. John (son of Edward Winslow and Magdaline Oliver) was born on 16 Apr 1597 in Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire, England; was christened on 18 Apr 1597 in Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire, England; died before 21 May 1674 in Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States.
