  1. She is said to be related to William Bradford of Austerfield, but the nature of this relationship has not been discovered. She is NOT the daughter of Rev. John Hanson and Margaret Gresham (of Austerfield) as Margaret is said to have been born about 1536, so she would have been too old to have a child born circa 1587.
  2. She was named as a creditor of the estate of John Thorp (MD 1:160). She is believed to have died before her husband wrote his will (9 Sep 1650).
  3. Some undocumented sources claim other children. Needs more research.
  4. Leiden Census of this date listed family with only 1 daughter.
  5. Anderson, Pilgrim Migrations pp. 360-62.
  6. Named in two deeds her husband made (MD 5:91).
  7. Leiden Census of this date listed family with only 1 daughter.
  8. Signed dower rights to deed-widow deeded homestead, no mention of wife.
  9. The first child was born before they were married. See The Mayflower Quarterly Summer 2023 pp. 20-22)

DNA results T2b3-C151T

The Mayflower DNA Project mtDNA results include one individual claiming Mary Churchill, wife of Thomas Doty was their Most Distant Known Matrilineal Ancestor (MDKMA). This individual falls under haplogroup T2b3-C151T.[1] In addition, a second individual whose MDKMA was Wybra Hanson has taken the full mtDNA test. This individual has the following "extra" mutations 315.1C, 522.1A, 522.2C and T4561C.[2]
  1. This Haplogroup is called T2b3-a by YFull in their T MTree.
  2. The insertions (315.1C, 522.1A and 522.2C are subject to mutate quickly and are not counting in matching). This individual has 8 exact matches as well as 8 matches with a genetic distance of 1.
