Individual Notes
• A 1620 Mayflower passenger, Edward Tilley arrived at Plymouth with his wife Ann (Cooper), his brother John, and two cousins, the children Henry Sampson and Humility Cooper. Edward and his wife died shortly after arrival, leaving no known descendants. More and more we are learning that Mayflower passengers not previously known to have been in Leiden in fact had been there. Mr. Ward (TG 6:166) shows that Humility Cooper was born in Holland, and Dr. Bangs (MQ 52:7) seems to prove that Edward Tilley was in Leiden at least by 1616. It also seems likely, though evidence has not yet been found, that John Tilley, the wives of Edward and John, and the young Henry Sampson might have been in Leiden, too.20, p 362
