he sailors, four in number (Alderton, English, Trevore, and Ely), in the Pilgrims' employ. CHAPTER VI THE MAY-FLOWER'S PASSENGERS The passenger list of the SPEEDWELL has given us the names of the Leyden members of the company which, with the cooperation of the associated Merchant Adventurers, was, in the summer of 1620, about to emigrate to America. Though it is not possible, with present knowledge, positively to determine every one of those who were passengers in the MAY-FLOWER from London to Southampton, most of them can be named with certainty. Arranged for convenience, so far as possible, by families, they were:-- Master Robert Cushman, the London agent of the Leyden company, Mrs. Mary (Clarke)-Singleton Cushman, 2d wife, Thomas Cushman, son (by 1st wife). Master Christopher Martin, treasurer-agent of the colonists, Mrs. Martin, wife, Solomon Prower, "servant," John Langemore, "servant." Master Richard Warren. Master William Mullens, Mrs. Alice Mullens, wife, Joseph Mullens, 2d son, Priscilla Mullens, 2d daughter, Robert Carter, "servant." Master Stephen Hopkins, Mrs. Elizabeth (Fisher?) Hopkins, 2d wife, Giles Hopkins, son (by former wife), Constance Hopkins, daughter (by former wife), Damaris Hopkins, daughter, Edward Dotey, "servant," Edward Leister, "servant." Gilbert Winslow. James Chilton, Mrs. Susanna (2) Chilton, wife, Mary Chilton, daughter. Richard Gardiner. John Billington, Mrs. Eleanor (or Helen) Billington, wife, John Billington (Jr.), son, Francis Billington, son. William Latham, "servant-boy" to Deacon Carver. Jasper More, "bound-boy" to Deacon Carver. Ellen More, "little bound girl" to Master Edward Winslow. Richard More, "bound-boy" to Elder Brewster. ------- More, "bound-boy" to Elder Brewster. There is a possibility that Thomas Rogers and his son, Joseph, who are usually accredited to the Leyden company, were of the London contingent, and sailed from there, though this is contra-indicated by certain collateral data. It is possible, also, of course, that any one or more of the English colonists (with a few exceptions--such as Cushman and family, Mullens and family, the More children and others--known to have left London on the MAY-FLOWER) might have joined her (as did Carver and Alden, perhaps Martin and family) at Southampton, but the
