Individual Notes
• The wife of John Tilley, Joan accompanied him on the 1620 Mayflower, and they died soon after arrival at Plymouth. She is shown by the Ward articles, cited under John Tilley, to have been the daughter of William, and probably Rose, Hurst of Henlow, Bedfordshire. She had earlier been widowed from a Thomas Rogers, but this was not the Mayflower Thomas Rogers.2114, p 312

Individual Notes
• A 1620 Mayflower passenger, John Tilley arrived at Plymouth with his wife Joan (Hurst), his daughter Elizabeth Tilley, and his brother Edward Tilley. A most valuable discovery by Robert Leigh Ward, English Ancestry of Seven Mayflower Passengers, The American Genealogist, 52:198, gives the Tilley origins in Henlow, Bedfordshire, and shows that John and Edward were the sons of Robert and Elizabeth (______) Tilley. John and his wife left children in Bedfordshire who could conceivably have left descendants, though none living today is yet known. This article, plus Ward's subsequent articles, Henry Sampson's Paternal Grandfather, TAG 56:141; Further Traces of John Tilley of the Mayflower, TAG 60:171; and The Baronial Ancestry of Henry Sampson, Humility Cooper, and Ann (Cooper) Tilley, The Genealogist, 6:166, show much interrelationship among the Tilleys, Coopers, Sampsons, and Hursts. There were Hursts, also, living in Leiden, and Bang's Pilgrims, p. 16, shows that a John Masterson, a Separatist who remained at Leiden, also came from Henlow, Bedfordshire.2114, p 362
