Millsop.  Appears only as a signer of the “Composition.”

Mott.  Has no especial mention, but is believed to have sent some of his
     people to Plymouth Colony at an early day.

Mullens.  Was, as appears elsewhere, a well-conditioned tradesman of
     Surrey, England, who was both an Adventurer and a may-Flower
     Pilgrim, and Martin and himself appear to have been the only ones
     who enjoyed that distinction.  He died, however, soon after the
     arrival at Plymouth.  That he was an Adventurer is but recently
     discovered by the author, but there appears no room for doubt as to
     the fact.  His record was brief, but satisfactory, in its relation to
     the Pilgrims.

Newbald.  Finds no especial mention.

Pennington.  Appears only as a signer.  It is a London name.

Penrin.  Appears only as a signer of the “Composition.”

Pickering.  Is introduced to us first as a Leyden merchant, through John
     Robinson’s letters.  He appears to have been a shrewd, cold-blooded
     calculator, like his partner-Adventurer, Greene, not interested
     especially in the Pilgrims, except for gain, and soon deserting the
     Adventurers.  His family seem to have been in favor with Charles ii
     (See Pepys’ “Diary.”)

Pierce (John).  Although recognized by the Virginia Companies and Council
     for New England, as the representative of the Adventurers, he has
     only been recently generally reckoned a chief man of the
     Adventurers.  A Protean friend of the Pilgrims, never reliable, ever
     pretentious, always self-seeking, and of no help.  He was finally
     ruined by the disasters to his ship, the Paragon, which cost him all
     his interests.  Having attempted treacherously to secure to himself
     the Patent granted in the Colony’s interest, he was compelled by the
     Council to surrender its advantages to the Adventurers and
     colonists.

Pocock.  Was a stanch and firm supporter of the Pilgrims and their
     interests, at all times, and to the end.  He was also a financial
     supporter and deputy-governor the Massachusetts Company, under
     Winthrop.  A correspondent of Bradford.  A good man.

Poyton.  Finds no especial mention.  He appears as a signer only.

Quarles.  Appears only as a signer of the “Composition.”

Revell.  Was a very wealthy citizen, merchant, and ship owner of London,
     and a good man.  He became also ardently interested in Winthrop’s
     Company.  Was an “assistant” and one of the five “undertakers”
     chosen to go to New England to reside.  He went to New England on
     the Jewell of Winthrop’s fleet, and was part owner of the lady
     ARBELLA.  He evidently, however, did not like the life, and returned
     after a few weeks’ stay.
