==Paper Trail==
 
Alice Carpenter was born about 1590<ref>called "fourscore years of age" (80) at the time of her death.</ref> in England, the daughter of Alexander Carpenter and Priscilla (Drusilla) Dillen. She was married twice, first in Leiden, Holland, 28 May 1613, to [[Southworth (Y-DNA)#First Generation |Edward Southworth]], then at New Plimouth 14 Aug 1623 to [[Bradford (Y-DNA)#First Generation |Gov. William Bradford]]. Alice died at Plymouth on 26 Mar 1670.<ref>MD 18:68</ref> By her first husband, Alice and Edward Southworth had two sons, Constant and Thomas. By her second husband, Alice and Gov. William Brewster had three children: William, Mercy and Joseph.
 
 
Alice had sisters Agnes, Juliana, Mary and Priscilla, so it may be possible to discover her mtDNA from her sisters' matrilineal descendants.
 
 
===Second Generation===
 
Mercy Bradford was born in new Plimouth by May 1627.<ref>Named in 1627 Cattle Division</ref> She married Plymouth 21 Dec 1648 Benjamin Vermayes of Boston.<ref>Plymouth Colony Records 8:5</ref> Neither Mercy, nor any of her children, were mentioned in Gov. Bradford's 1657 will, so it is assumed she died shortly after marriage, with no surviving children.
