Surnames of Mayflower passengers with links to corresponding mtDNA results pages, are listed below.

The last column gives the number of individals in the Family Tree DNA/General Society of Mayflower Descendants "Mayflower DNA Project" under each individual.

Important Note

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. Names in Italics are not Mayflower Passengers, but their wife was a passenger.
  2. according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mayflower_Society
  3. 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. 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. From the GSMD/FTDNA Mayflower Project online presentation (passcode ajI2.8wq)
  6. From the GSMD/FTDNA Mayflower Project online presentation (passcode ajI2.8wq)
  7. Edward Doty had a first wife, name unknown, but had no (surviving) children by this marriage. It is believed she was the unnamed maid servant to John Carver who (according to Bradford's Of Plimouth Plantation) married but died shortly afterwards.
  8. From the GSMD/FTDNA Mayflower Project online presentation (passcode ajI2.8wq)
  9. 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.
  10. Francis and Christian had one daughter, Rachel. Rachel married Joseph Ramsdell, but only had one son, Daniel.
  11. She was the widow of William Denby
  12. The Great Migration Begins I:681 states all of Moses Fletcher’s children were by his first wife
  13. Samuel Fuller married first to Alice Glaslock, who died (apparently having no children) by 1613. TGMB I:716
  14. The Great Migration Begins I:716 stated only child of second wife died in infancy
  15. Mayflower Quarterly, Winter 2019, p, 39
  16. Mayflower Quarterly, Winter 2019, p. 39 "H27 Not included but being researched:" As this DNA result has not later been published on the GSMD/FTDNA Mayflower DNA Project it is believed the lineage of the tester has been rejected.
  17. Mayflower Quarterly, Winter 2019, p, 39
  18. Mayflower Families through Five Generations ("Silver Books") vol. 15 (More) lists a handful of female mtDNA descendants of the sixth generation.
  19. This was a bigamous marriage, since his first wife was still living in Salem, MA
  20. Richard More married third, sometime before 23 May 1678 to Jane (_____) Crumton (widow of Samuel Crumton). Richard and Jane had no children.
  21. The only contemporary record for Hannah is the will of her husband, Joseph (in Jan 1677/8). As such, we are not certain whether she was Joseph's only wife and whether she is the mother of any/all of Joseph's children. mtDNA descendants of Joseph's daughters have the ability to ascertain whether they were all likely had the same mother, but even then, it would not prove whether Hannah was the mother or not.
  22. From the GSMD/FTDNA Mayflower Project online presentation (passcode ajI2.8wq)
  23. died in the first winter, no children
  24. Myles and Barbara had one daughter, Lora. Neither she nor any of her children were mentioned in his will of Mar 1655/6. Thus she almost certainly died unmarried.
  25. She married first, Thomas Rogers
  26. 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.
  27. Only had two sons by William White. She will also be treated under Edward Winslow
  28. Edward had no children by his first wife
  29. 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)
