Mary Chilton was born in 1607 in Sandwich, Kent, England, and was the d aughter of James Chilton and usanna Furner. When Mary was just two year s old, excommunication proceedings began against her mother, who had at tended the secret burial of a child of Andrew Sharpe. The child was bur ied in secret because they opposed the "popish" burial ceremonies requi red by the Church of England.
Mary and family then came to Leiden, Holland, and joined with the Pilgr ims' church there. In 1619, when she was twelve, her father and oldest s ister were caught in an anti-Arminian riot and her father was hit in th e head with a stone--an injury for which he would have to seek out a su rgeon.
In 1620, at the age of 13, Mary came with her parents on the Mayflower. H er father was one of the first who died after the ship had anchored off P rovincetown Harbor. He died on December 8. Mary is traditionally given t he honor of being the first female to step ashore at Plymouth Rock, but t here is no historical documentation for this tradition. Her mother died s ometime later the first winter, orphaning her in the New World. Which f amily it was that raised her has not been determined, but in 1623, at t he age of 16, Mary received her share in the Division of Land, and her p roperty was located between that of Myles Standish and John Alden, and w as not too far from the Winslows. Edward Winslow's brother John had com e to Plymouth on the ship Fortune in 1621. Sometime between 1623 and 16 27, John Winslow married Mary Chilton. In the 1627 Division of Cattle t hey received a share in the "lesser" black cow that had come in the shi p Anne in 1623, along with two female goats. As they had not yet had an y children by the Division of Cattle, it is likely their marriage occur red in 1626.
Their first child John was born about 1627, and nine more children woul d follow. The family resided in Plymouth for many years, but eventually e nded up in Boston, where her husband John died in 1674. Mary made out h er will in 1676 and died about 1679.
