Background
Biography
Many genealogists have been searching for the identity of the wife of James Chilton. The only clue we currently have is recorded in the 1840 History of Bridgewater, Massachusetts by Hon. Nahum Mitchell. The book reported the given name of Mrs. Chilton as Susanna. When Nathaniel B. Shurtleff later asked Judge Mitchell asked about the source of this information, Mitchell stated he could not recall, but believed he had "good authority" for calling her Susanna.[1][2]
James and his wife were married about 1583 presumably in or near Canterbury, Kent, England where they had their older children baptised.[3]
James came over on the Mayflower with his wife and only one of his children, daughter Mary (baptized St. Peter's Parish, Sandwich on 31 May 1607). James died on board the Mayflower while it was docked at Cape Cod Harbour (now Providence) on 8 Dec 1620. His widow died during the general sickness sometime during the winter of 1620/1.
- ↑ The identities of some of the other wives of early Bridgewater settlers made by Judge Mitchell in his 1840 History have since been disproven, which casts doubt about this claim regarding the given name of the wife of James Chilton
- ↑ Some have theorized where the wife may have been Susanna Furber, daughter of his step-mother (Isabell) by her first husband, Francis Furber. Susanna Furber was baptized 5 Nov 1573, so she was not old enough to have a child baptized in 1584.
- ↑ Their first known child, Joell was baptized at St. Paul's Canterbury on 16 Aug 1584. While this baptismal record does not name Joell's parents, his burial record does state he was son of James Chilton.
mtDNA Results T2b+16288C
A proposed mtDNA descendant of Mary (Chilton) Winslow has taken a full mtDNA test and posted her results on the Family Tree DNA Mayflower Project[1] This descendant [who descends from Mary's daughter Susanna (Winslow) Latham] has not had their lineage vetted by the General Society of Mayflower Descendants (GSMD), but is an exact HVR1+HVR2 match to a mtDNA descendant of Mary (Winslow) Gray, a sister to Susanna (Winslow) Latham.[2]
The Haplogroup assigned to the full mtDNA results is T2b, but all three results include an additional HVR1 mutation at: 16288C.[3]
- ↑ https://www.familytreedna.com/public/mayflowersociety?iframe=mtresults under Mary Chilton
- ↑ It is currently unknown if this second descendant is a GSMD member or not. In addition, there is a third full mtDNA match to someone who also claims to be a mtDNA descendant of Susanna (Winslow) Latham, but has not joined the GSMD
- ↑ It is hoped this additional mutation would form a new subclade of T2b at some time in the future.
mtDNA Descendants
While James and his wife had at least ten children (three sons and seven daughters) only the two daughters who came to Plymouth Colony (Mary and Isabella) have had their families traced. There is a real possibility of mtDNA descendants living in England and elsewhere.
SECOND GENERATION Isabella Chilton was the eldest surviving child, baptized at St. Paul's Cathedral, Canterbury, Kent, England on 15 Jan 1586/7. She married at Leiden 21 Jul 1615[1] to Roger Chandler.[2] While Roger & Isabella had one son (Samuel, who presumably died young) and three daughters (Sarah, Martha & Mary)[3], the most recent Mayflower "Silver Book"[4] documents only one female mtDNA descendant of the Sixth Generation[5]. This was Hannah Prisberry (Martha Smith, Mary Bundy, Martha Chandler, Isabella Chilton, (poss.) Susanna). Hannah was born at Taunton 1 Oct 1715.[6] Given the fact it is much more difficult to trace maternal lines than paternal lines, it is possible there are unidentified mtDNA descendants of Isabella living today.
Mary Chilton was the youngest child, baptized at St. Peter's Church, Sandwich, Kent, England on 30 May 1607. She married at New Plimouth before the 1627 Cattle Division to John Winslow. They had ten children (one infant [sex unknown], six sons and three daughters [Susanna, Mary and Sarah])
THIRD GENERATION Susanna Winslow was born about 1630 and died at Bridgewater between 31 Jul 1676 and 3 Oct 1683.[7] She married at presumably at Plymouth about 1649 to Robert Latham. They had eight children (3 sons and five daughters [Mercy, Susanna, Hannah, Elizabeth, Sarah]). mtDNA descendants of both Mercy & Hannah have done Full mtDNA testing and are a perfect match to each other.
Mary Winslow was born about 1632 and died at Plymouth between 1663-1665. She married at Plymouth 16 Jan 1650/1 to Edward Gray. They had six children (one son and five daughters [Desire, Mary, Elizabeth, Sarah & Anna]). A mtDNA descendant of daughter Mary has done mtDNA testing (HVR1+HVR2)
- ↑ Leiden had already switched to New Style dating. This would be 11 Jul 1615 in England
- ↑ Mayflower Descendant 11:129
- ↑ TAG 27:1-6, 37:212-17
- ↑ Volume 15
- ↑ last generation published in this volume
- ↑ It is possible she was the Hannah Prisbry who died at Taunton 20 Sep 1763. If so, then she never married.
- ↑ will of her brother, John Winslow
