John Hooke, described by Bradford as a “servant-boy,” was probably but a
     youth.  He did not sign the Compact.  Nothing further is known of him
     except that he died early.  It is quite possible that he may have
     been of London and have been “indentured” by the municipality to
     Allerton, but the presumption has been that he came, as body-servant
     of Allerton, with him from Leyden.

Captain Standish’s years in 1620 are conjectural (from fixed data), as is
     his age at death.  His early home was at Duxborough Hall, in
     Lancashire.  His commission as Captain, from Queen Elizabeth, would
     make his birth about 1584.  Rose Standish, his wife, is said by
     tradition to have been from the Isle of Man, but nothing is known of
     her age or antecedents, except that she was younger than the
     Captain.  She died during the “general sickness,” early in 1621.

Master Christopher Martin, as previously noted, was from Billerica, in
     Essex.  From collateral data it appears that he must have been
     “about forty” years old when he joined the Pilgrims.  He appears to
     have been a staunch “Independent” and to have drawn upon himself the
     ire of the Archdeacon of Chelmsford, (probably) by his loud-mouthed
     expression of his views, as only “a month before the may-Flower
     sailed” he, with his son and Solomon Prower of his household
     (probably a relative), were cited before the archdeacon to answer
     for their shortcomings, especially in reverence for this church
     dignitary.  He seems to have been at all times a self-conceited,
     arrogant, and unsatisfactory man.  That he was elected treasurer
     and ship’s “governor” and permitted so much unbridled liberty as
     appears, is incomprehensible.  It was probably fortunate that he
     died early, as he did, evidently in utter poverty.  He had a son,
     in 1620, apparently quite a grown youth, from which it is fair to
     infer that the father was at that time “about forty.”  Of his wife
     nothing is known.  She also died early.

Solomon Prower, who is called by Bradford both “son” and “servant” of
     Martin, seems from the fact of his “citation” before the Archdeacon
     of Chelmsford, etc., to have been something more than a “servant,”
     possibly a kinsman, or foster-son, and probably would more properly
     have been termed an “employee.”  He was from Billerica, in Essex,
     and was, from the fact that he did not sign the Compact, probably
     under twenty-one or very ill at the time.  He died early.  Of John
     Langemore, his fellow “servant,” nothing is known, except that he is
     spoken of by Young as one of two “children” brought over by Martin
     (but on no apparent authority), and he did not sign the Compact,
     though this might have been from extreme illness, as he too died
     early.
