  • Notes 
    • James Chilton has been erroneously lumped together with the "Strangers" on the 1620 Mayflower, but he was in fact a Leiden Separatist, as is shown by Jan van Dorsten in "Why the Pilgrims Left Leiden," in Bang's Pilgrims, p. 34. Leiden records reveal that on 28 April 1619 the sixty-three-year-old James Chilton was returning to his house with his daughter when about twenty boys began throwing rocks at them, and James was hit on the head and knocked to the ground. He never saw Plymouth, for he died on 8 December 1620 when the Mayflower was still at Provincetown Harbor. His wife Susanna and daughter Mary came with him, and a daughter Isabella came later. He probably had another daughter, "Engeltgen," who married in Leiden in 1622 (see MF 2 which gives his first five generations in America). He was also known to have had other children in England, but no descendants from them have been traced. James Chilton was the son of Lionel Chilton, and he was a resident of Canterbury, where he worked as a tailor, and of Sandwich, Kent before going to Holland. His English background is given by John G. Hunt, "Origins of the Chiltons of the Mayflower," TAG 38:244.
