Mr. Rogers died in the first sickness. His son, Joseph, is living and has six children. The rest of his children came over afterwards, and are married, and have many children. THOMAS TINKER; his wife; their son. All died in the first sickness. JOHN RIGDALE; Alice, his wife. Both died in the first sickness. JAMES CHILTON; his wife; their daughter, Mary. Another daughter, who was married, came after. Mr. and Mrs. Chilton died in the first sickness. Mary Chilton married, and has nine children. EDWARD FULLER; his wife; their son, Samuel. Mr. and Mrs. Fuller died soon after they came ashore. Samuel Fuller is living, and has four children, or more. JOHN TURNER; two sons. All died in the first sickness. His daughter came some years after to Salem, and is married. FRANCIS EATON; Sarah, his wife; their baby, Samuel. Mrs. Eaton died in the general sickness. Mr. Eaton married a second and third time, having three children by his third wife. Samuel is married and has a child. MOSES FLETCHER; JOHN GOODMAN; THOMAS WILLIAMS; DIGERIE PRIEST; EDMUND MARGESON; RICHARD BRITTERIDGE; RICHARD CLARK; RICHARD GARDNER; PETER BROWN; GILBERT WINSLOW. The first seven died in the general sickness. Digerie Priest’s wife and children came afterwards, she being Mrs. Allerton’s sister. Gardner became a sailor, and died in England, or at sea. Peter Brown married twice, leaving four children; he died about sixteen years since. Gilbert Winslow, after several years here returned to England and died there. JOHN ALDEN. Mr. Alden was hired at Southampton as a cooper. Being a likely young man, he was desirable as a settler; but it was left to his own choice to stay here or return to England; he stayed, and married Priscilla Mullins (see above). JOHN ALLERTON; THOMAS ENGLISH; WILLIAM TREVOR; and one, ELY. The first two were hired as sailors, the one to stay here with the shallop, the other to go back and help over those left behind; but both died here before the Mayflower returned. The last two were hired to stay here a year; both returned when their time was out. Of these 100 or so of persons who came over first, more than half died in the first general sickness. Of those that remained, some were too old to have children. Nevertheless in those thirty years there have sprung up from that stock over 160 persons now living in this year 1650; and of the old stock itself nearly thirty persons still survive. Let the Lord have the praise, Who is the High Preserver of men. INDEX Abdas, 337. Accord Pond, 301. Adventurers, preliminaries with, 35 et seq.; Dissolve partnership, 162, 174.
