Moyses fletcher, John Goodman, Thomas Williams, Digerie Preist, Edmond Margeson,
Peter Browne, Richard Britterige, Richard Clarke, Richard Gardenar, Gilbart Winslow John Alden was hired for a cooper, at South-Hampton wher the ship victuled; and being a hopefull yong man was much desired, but left to his owne liking to go, or stay when he came here, but he stayed, and maryed here. John Allerton, and Thomas Enlish were both hired, the later to goe mr of a Ther were allso other .2. seamen hired to stay a year here in the country,
William Trevore; and one Ely. But when their time was out they both returned. These bening aboute a hundred sowls came over in this first ship; and began this
worke, which god of his goodnes hath hithertoo blesed; let his holy name have ye praise.
And seeing it hath pleased him to give me to see. 30. years compleated, since these
beginings. And that the great works of his providence are to be observed. I have thought
it not unworthy my paines, to take a veiw of the decreasings, & Increasings of these
persons, and such change as hath pased over them, & theirs, in this thirty years. It
may be of some use to such as come after; but however I shall rest in my owne benefite. mr Carver and his wife, dyed the first year, he in ye spring, she in ye somer;
also his man Roger, and ye litle boy Jasper, dyed before either of them, of ye commone
Infection. Desire Minter, returned to her freind & proved not very well, and dyed in
England. His servant boy Latham after more then .20. years stay in the country went into

John Tillie, Elizabeth, and they are both now living; and have
.10. children now all living and their eldest doughter hath .4.
children And ther .2. dougter, one, all living and other of their Children mariagable. so
.15. are come of them. mr Brewster lived to very old age; about .80. years he was when he dyed, having
lived some .23. or .24. years here in ye countrie. & though his wife dyed long before,
yet she dyed aged. His sone Wrastle dyed a yonge man unmaried; his sone Love, lived till

Him selfe maried againe with ye dougter of mr Brewster, & hath one sone living by here but she is long since dead. And he is maried againe, and hath left this place long agoe.
