“The origin of Susanna Winslow has long been a mystery as, until now, we’ve been unable to identify her maiden name and birthplace,” said Sue Allan. “Identifying the origins of the female pilgrims is a real challenge as there is generally so little information recorded about them – women had very few rights at that time, but they are so significant when painting the picture of the pilgrim history.
"The letter we uncovered was the missing link we needed to conclude that Richard Jackson was in fact Susanna’s father and prove her Nottinghamshire origins. This is really exciting – Susanna was a very important figure; not only was she aboard the Mayflower ship, she was also pregnant during the voyage and gave birth to the first child to be born once the Mayflower reached the New World.
“After her first husband William White died that first winter, Susanna underwent the first marriage in New England – to Edward Winslow who became three times Governor of the Plymouth Colony.”

Joseph Willard
From the World Connect Db=burnamj:
He learned the trade of "webster," one of the crafts which combined in the hand-making and selling of cloth in those days, and from which a group of family names have come: shearer, carder, spinner or spinster, weaver, webster, tucker, shearman, fuller, dyer, clothi er, chapman or chipman, and mercer or merchant.
He was one of the early settlers of Hassinam is coor [Hassanamisco] Grafton, his daughter Sarah being the first white child born there. He was a town officer; a major in the Worcester regiment; was faithful in church and highly esteemed.
The Willard House and Clock Museum in Grafton, MA was the house he lived in. His four grandsons were well known clock makers.
