Thomas Tinker’s name, the mention of his “wife” and “son,” the tradition
     that they were “of the Leyden congregation” (which is not sure), the
     certainty that they were may-Flower passengers,—­on Brad ford’s
     list,—­and that all died early, are all we know of the Tinker
     family.

John Turner and his two sons we know little about.  He seems to have been
     a widower, as no mention is found of his wife, though this is not
     certain.  He was of the Leyden congregation, and evidently a man of
     some standing with the leaders, as he was made their messenger to
     Carver and Cushman in London, in June, 1620, and was apparently
     accustomed to travel.  He appears to have had business of his own in
     England at the time, and was apparently a man of sober age.  As he
     had three children,—­a daughter who came later to New England, and
     two sons, as stated by Bradford,—­it is probable that he was thirty
     or over.  He and both his sons died in the spring of 1621.

Francis Eaton was of Leyden, a carpenter, and, having a wife and child,
     was probably a young man about twenty five, perhaps a little
     younger.  He married three times.

Mrs. Sarah Eaton, wife of Francis, was evidently a young woman, with an
     infant, at the date of embarkation.  Nothing more is known of her,
     except that she died the spring following the arrival at Plymouth.

Samuel Eaton, the son of Francis and his wife, Sarah, Bradford calls “a
     sucking child:”  He lived to marry.

Gilbert Window was the third younger brother of Governor Edward Winslow,
     and is reputed to have been a carpenter.  He was born on Wednesday,
     October 26, 1600, at Droitwitch, in Worcester, England. ("Winslow
     Memorial,” vol. i. p. 23.) He apparently did not remain long in
     the colony, as he does not appear in either the “land division” of
     1623 or the “cattle division” of 1627; and hence was probably not
     then in the “settlement,” though land was later allowed his heirs,
     he having been an “original” voyager of the Plymouth colony.  He was
     but twenty years and fifteen days old when he signed the Compact,
     but probably was—­from his brother’s prominence and his nearness to
     his majority—­counted as eligible.  Bradford states that he returned
     to England after “divers years” in New England, and died there.  It
     has been suggested that he went very early to some of the other
     “plantations.”

John Alden was of Southampton, England, was hired as “a cooper,” was
     twenty-one years old in 1620, as determined by the year of his
     birth, 1599 ("Alden Memorial,” p. 1), and became the most prominent
     and useful of any of the English contingent of the may Flower
