Important Note

Read me First

While autosomal DNA tests (such as 23andMe and AncestryDNA) do test for a number of mtDNA SNPs (with 23andMe reporting Y-DNA and mtDNA Haplogroups) their chip-based testing only documents a limited number of SNPs and can give inaccurate information.

  1. Jump up ↑ Names in Italics are not Mayflower Passengers, but their wife was a passenger.
  2. Jump up ↑ Based on FTDNA's new Mitotree.
  3. Jump up ↑ Italics indicate that the haplogroup result is based on previous testing through other projects (usually HVR only) and may not be precise. In some of these cases, the result could be inaccurate due to inadvertent errors in lineage tracing. See surname sub-pages for further details and references.
  4. Jump up ↑ Bartholomew returned to England and married. He is said to have had at least four children (unknown by which wife) (Isaac, Mary, Dorothy and John), none of these lines have been traced to the present day.
  5. Jump up ↑ It is believed she was the unnamed maid servant to John Carver. In 1651 Gov. Bradford wrote she "married and died a year or two after". She apparently never had any children.
  6. Jump up ↑ She was the widow of William Denby. The Great Migration Begins I:681 states all of Moses Fletcher’s children were by his first wife.
  7. Jump up ↑ A back mutation, reverting back to ancestra value.
  8. Jump up ↑ Mayflower Families through Five Generations ("Silver Books") vol. 15 (More) lists a handful of female mtDNA descendants of the sixth generation.
  9. Jump up ↑ This was a bigamous marriage, since his first wife was still living in Salem, MA
  10. Jump up ↑ Richard More married third, sometime before 23 May 1678 to Jane (_____) Crumton (widow of Samuel Crumton). Richard and Jane had no children.
  11. Jump up ↑ See | Caleb Johnson's MayflowerHistory.com profile for John Turner He is known to have had a daughter Elizabeth, who initially remained in Holland, but later emigrated to New England and married (possibly in Salem). But it is currently unknown who her husband was.
  12. Jump up ↑ They had one daughter, Elizabeth (c1630-1698). She married (Capt.) George Curwin and Robert Brooks (II). George and Elizabeth had two daughters, Penelope (m. John Wolcott, no known children) and Susanna (m. Edward Lyde (II), only daughter Elizabeth died unmarried)

  • Alice, wife of John Rigsdale
  • Mary, wife of Edward Prower and Christopher Martin
