John Tilley (who is also sometimes called Master) is reputed a brother of
     Edward, and is known to have been—­as also his wife—­of the Leyden
     church (Bradford, Deane’s ed. p. 83.) His second wife Bridget Van
     der Velde, was evidently of Holland blood, and their marriage is
     recorded in Leyden.  Elizabeth Tilley was clearly a daughter by an
     earlier wife.  He is said by Goodwin ("Pilgrim Republic,” p. 32) to
     have been a “silk worker” Leyden, but earlier authority for this
     occupation is not found.

John Crackstone is of record as of the Leyden congregation.  His daughter
     remained there, and came later to America.

John Crackstone, Jr., son of above.  Both were Speedwell passengers.

Francis Cooke has been supposed a very early member of Robinson’s flock
     in England, who escaped with them to Holland, in 1608.  He and his
     son perhaps embarked at Delfshaven, leaving his wife and three other
     children to follow later. (See Robinson’s letter to Governor
     Bradford, “Mass.  Hist.  Coll.,” vol. iii. p. 45, also Appendix for
     account of Cooke’s marriage.)

John Cooke, the son, was supposed to have lived to be the last male
     survivor of the may-Flower, but Richard More proves to have survived
     him.  He was a prominent man in the colony, like his father, and the
     founder of Dartmouth (Mass.).

John Turner and his sons are also known to have been of the Leyden party,
     as he was undoubtedly the messenger sent to London with the letter
     (of May 31) of the leaders to Carver and Cushman, arriving there
     June 10, 1620.  They were beyond doubt of the SPEEDWELL’S list.

Degory Priest—­or “Digerie,” as Bradford calls him—­was a prominent
     member of the Leyden body.  His marriage is recorded there, and he
     left his family in the care of his pastor and friends, to follow him
     later.  He died early.

Thomas Rogers and his son are reputed of the Leyden company.  He left
     (according to Bradford) some of his family there—­as did Cooke and
     Priest—­to follow later.  It has been suggested that Rogers might
     have been of the Essex (England) lineage, but no evidence of this
     appears.  The Rogers family of Essex were distinctively Puritans,
     both in England and in the Massachusetts colony.

Moses Fletcher was a “smith” at Leyden, and of Robinson’s church.  He was
     married there, in 1613, to his second wife.  He was perhaps of the
     English Amsterdam family of Separatists, of that name.  As the only
     blacksmith of the colonists, his early death was a great loss.

Thomas Williams, there seems no good reason to doubt, was the Thomas
     Williams known to have been of Leyden congregation.  Hon. H. C.
     Murphy and Arber include him—­apparently through oversight alone
     —­in the list of those of Leyden who did not go, unless there were
     two of the name, one of whom remained in Holland.
