Mary Chilton was born in Sandwich, Kent, England back in 1607 to James and Susannah. When she was thirteen she left with her family on the Mayflower to journey to the New World. After their arrival, her father died in December of 1620 and her mother died six weeks later in January of 1621.

She married John Winslow around 1624, that union produced 10 children. The family moved to Boston. In 1676, she made out her last will and testament, she died on May 1, 1679.

HI James Dray - WOW!  I did not know any of that. To have ties all the way back to the first European woman to set foot in the new world is amazing. When you include 2 presidents in those descendants that fact is quite astonishing.

Hi James- what an interesting story. Sad to think of someone who arrives in a new country then loses her mother, and interesting to look at her lineage.

James, a very interesting story on the life of Many Chilton. So sad about losing her parents so early in life and especially with all the difficulties of the early pilgrims.  And ten children...a very special life.
