• Notes

  Captain Richard More was a bastard child according to many sources. He was the only More child who came on the Mayflower to survive. He is of ancient Royalty according to the Mayflower Society". "The passenger list of the Mayflower includes four children without parents; they were not orphans, however they may as well have been. The children, between the ages of four and eight, were placed with families making the voyage. The More children are the only passengers with known royal ancestry, with descent from King David I and King Edward I of England. The children were baptized at Shipton Parish, Shropshire, England as follows. The only child to survive the first winter was Richard. Elinor/Ellen [Ellinora] More, baptized, 24 May 1612; was placed with Edward and Rose Winslow; Jasper [Jasperus] More, baptized, 8 August 1613; was placed with John and Katharine Carver Richard [Richardus] More, baptized 13 November 1614; was placed with William and Mary Brewster. Maria More, baptized 16 April 1616; was placed with William and Mary Brewster; [Bradford mistakenly said she was a brother of Richard
