Massachusetts Society of Mayflower Descendants

Below is a list of all the passengers on board the Mayflower that ultimately sailed to New England in 1620 as given by William Bradford. The table is arranged in alphabetical order for quick access with a brief account of each passenger. To find more detailed information regarding each passenger, click on the passenger's name. To understand more about the date this list was created, see our research article.

The list contains all the latest data on each of the Mayflower passengers. Each entry usually includes the parentage (if known), birth, death, and marriage(s). It is noted whether the men had signed the Compact and whether the passenger left any known descendants beyond their children.

This is meant to be a quick reference guide and authority of the facts presented. It is the culmination of all the scholarship since the re-discovery of the Bradford manuscript history published first in 1856. It is this manuscript that is the basis for who is ultimately a passenger or not. There is no other source to corroborate it. Bradford calls several single young men hired seamen, cooper, etc. He treats them as "passengers" possibly because the Company hired them. There are other men who are the officers and crew of the ship. Few of these men are known and are not considered passengers even though they, too, had to stay in Plymouth Colony the first winter where half of them met their death as did the passengers. For this reason, the General Society of Mayflower Descendants does not recognize for membership anyone who descends from any officer or crew. Only the ship's Master, Christopher Jones, is known to have any descendants – though some have claimed him as an ancestor, no one has published or documented such a claim (though we welcome any such documentation).

The goal will be to gather all documents created by each passenger and those that reference them along with all known articles or books published on them. If you should have any additional material not reflected here, please email the office so we may update our information.
