General Notes: Husband - John Tilley

---

He was an Englishman, removing to Leyden in 1609, where he was a silk worker; with his wife and daughter he came over on the "Mayflower" in 1620, he and his wife dying during the first winter. He was twice married, Elizabeth having been the daughter of a former wife, who, tradition says, was a daughter of Governor Carver; this, however, has not been proved to the satisfaction of the Mayflower Society. It is supposed that this marriage occurred before the removal to Leyden; no record of the first wife's death has been found.
