Descendants of the Pilgrims who landed at Plymouth, Mass, December 1620Description
Volume 15 of the Mayflower Families Through Five Generations series. This volume records the descendants of James Chilton, the oldest passenger on the Mayflower. He was one of the signers of the Mayflower Compact in November 1620. He died at age 63 aboard ship on 18 December 1620, along with his wife, leaving daughter Mary an orphan at 13. Richard More was a boy of thirteen living with the family of William Brewster. He became a respected sea captain, married Christian Hunt and had seven children.
The Mayflower Society publishes the majority of its books as a result of an ongoing program to identify the first five generations of Pilgrim descendants. This Five Generations Project involves the meticulous investigation of primary records that substantiate the identity of, often obscure, individuals and families. The time period these books cover is usually from about the time of the Mayflower landing, in 1620, through the era of the American Revolution.
