Notes (Individual)

General: "MAYFLOWER PASSENGER" -- "A 1620 Mayflower passenger. ... On 22 December 1620, when the Mayflower was at anchor in Plymouth Harbor, she was delivered of a stillborn son."  (Ply. Col., p 333)

"... died on Mayflower in Plymouth harbor several days after being delivered of still-born child at height of winter gale."  (Saints... p. 438)

"Of Mrs. A. we know but little.  She was probably from 35 to 40 years of age at her decease, and left four children.  In Sargeant's painting of the Landing of the Pilgrims, she is represented as having a fine face, rather beautiful, and as being of a 'meek and quiet spirit.'" (Hist. & Biog. Genealogy of the Cushmans, p. 614)
