Individual Details

A 1620 Mayflower passenger, William Mullins came from Dorking, County Surrey, and he brought his wife Alice, his children Joseph and and Priscilla, and his servant Robert Carter, with him. Mullins died 21 February 1620/21 (MD 30:3). His will (MD 1:230) shows that he also left a son William and a married daughter Sarah (Mullins) Blunden, in England, and George E. Bowman, 'The Estates of William2 Mullins and His Daughter Sarah3 (Mullins) (Gannett) (Savill) Faxon and of Her Three Husbands' (MD 7:37, 179) shows that William2 came to Plymouth Colony sometime after his father's death. From the probate documents it appears that granddaughter Sarah left no descendants, and the only proven Mullins descendants living today are via daughter Priscilla, who married John Alden. Though Bradford wrote that Mullins, his wife, his son, and his servant all died during the first winter, Bowman shows in MD 1:230 that the wife and son must have been alive when the Mayflower set sail again for England in April 1621, but died before the arrival of the Fortune in November 1621. Bradford called him 'Mr. William Mullins,' and [p.332] he was one of the more prosperous of the original settlers. See also Robert S. Wakefield, 'William Mullins's Grandchildren in England,' MQ 39:83.
