William Mullins

Notes:

On the mayflower. !Occupation: Tradesman.
His probate record, made 23 Jul 1621, proves that the former residence of William Mullins was at Dorking, in the County of Surrey, and that he had left behind, in England, a married daughter, Sarah Blunden, who was appointed administrix by the court. From the will we also learn that his wife's name was Alice, and that his eldest son, William, was left behind in England.
The date on his will, 21 Feb 1620, is in old style date format, and is believed to be the same day that he died. The text of his will is as follows:
2 Apr 1621: [note: the date on the will is believed to be the date that his will was copied before being taken back to England]

Possible parentage: John Mullyns and Joane Bridger. [MD 44:41]

m: Alice [---] (- 1621)

Children:

Alice

Notes:

Died early in 1621, but after 2 Apr 1621.
She may have been born 1574 in England, the daughter of Nicholas Atwood (b. Abt 1538 in England) and Olive Harman (b. Abt 1548 in England). Nicholas was the son of John Hewson and Margaret Atwood, and grandson of John and Denes Atwood.
Another theory is that she was a Poretiers. Neither has been proven. [MD 44:44]

m: William Mullins (BEF 1578- 3 MAR 1621)

Children:

William Collier

Notes:

He came to New England in 1633. He lived in Duxbury.
The signature of William Collier appears in the Composition with the Plymouth Colony on 15/25 November 1626. (See Arber 1897, p.321). Apparently this one of the only 42 people in England with some stake in Plymouth Plantation at the time.
He served as Assistant Governor of the Plymouth Colony. He was reported to be the "Richest Man in the Colony". He was an advocate of Religious Toleration.
From Leon Clark Hills, "Cape Cod Series, Vol. II, History and Genealogy of the Mayflower Planters and first Comers to Ye Olde Colonie." Hills Pub. Co., Washington D.C., 1941:
He was a Merchant Adventurer & Brewer of London, and very active in support of the New England Settlers. In fact, he was one of those to subscribe for special aid to the Plymouth colonists on Nov 15, 1626. He finally decided, like so many other merchants, to remove himself and family to America. It is not surprising to find him, his four daughters and apprentices (not servants), among whom were the brothers John, Job, and Daniel Cole, disembarking from the good ship "Mary and James," together with 190 other passengers when it arrived at Plymouth in 1633. His wife probably had died, leaving him with the children.
He was an able man and soon took a high position in the Colony, especially in the matter of final settlement of acounts with the London Adventurers. He was a commissioner at the first meeting of the United Colonies in 1643, and served as Governor's Assistant from 1634 to 1665, a period of 31 years. The Court ordered a special aide for him in 1659, on account of "age and much business."
----- Note: he was also in on the first purchase of Dartmouth in 1652.
A posting on soc.roots by Jerry.Hodges@@{windmill,agape}.com, 3009 47th Lubbock TX 79413, claimed that one of his wives was Jane Clark, and a dau. of their was Ruth (Collier) COLE, wife of Daniel Cole.

Elizabeth

Notes:

Came to America in The Anne in 1623 with her five girls: Mary, Elizabeth, Anna, Sarah, and Abigail.
The maiden name has not been proven. The oft cited claim that she was Elizabeth (Jaunealt) Marsh has been discredited -- the ages on the records of that person just don't agree with what is known.
!Death: Plymouth Register, in Shurtleff 8:35: "Mistris Elizabeth Warren, an aged widdow, aged aboue 90 yeares, deceased on the second of October, 1673, whoe, haueing liued a godly life, came to her graue as a shoke of corn fully ripe. Shee was honorably buried on the 24th of October aforesaid."
