==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 Edward Southworth, then at New Plimouth 14 Aug 1623 to 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.

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.
