Individual Details
Elizabeth Tilley
(30 Aug 1607 - 22 Dec 1687)
Elizabeth Tilley is our 9th great grandmother. Elizabeth Tilley married John Howland, another passenger on the Mayflower. Elizabeth's parents, John Tilley and Joan Hurst, also arrived on the Mayflower but both died by early 1621 leaving Elizabeth orphaned at age 13.
John and Elizabeth Howland had ten children, all of whom lived to adulthood, and provided 88 grandchildren. It is believed that John and Elizabeth have more descendants of the Mayflower living today than any other passengers (estimated to be over a million). Some of the Howland descendants are FDR, the Bush’s (father and sons), the actor Baldwin brothers, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Dr.Benjamin Spock, Humphrey Bogart, and Joseph Smith (Mormon church founder). That means all those people are our cousins in one way or another.
