Bedford, England, and his brother Edward Tilley and wife Agn es (along with their neice and nephew Humility Cooper and Henry Samson) a lso came on the Mayflower. Brother Edward is known to have lived in Lei den, but there is no record of John Tilley there (though it is certainl y possible he was present there and just didn't get named in any record ).
