PILGRIMS ™ JBBL, a Sir— A communication to the Kansas City Star quoted in Sunday's PUBLIC LEDGER of the 5th hurt, raises the question as to the name of the ship in which the Pilgrims made the journey to the new worid, stating that the name "Mayflower" does not appear until fifty yean later, and then in the writings of a secondary authority. Secretary Nathaniel Morton. The writer is in error as the father of Nathaniel Morton, who was not "as a boy of seven among the 1620 adventures; and if the name adventurers is to be appiied tc the Pilgrim undertaking, it should be restricted to the financial backers of the migration, not to the passengers of famous i hip. Governor BimlfnH doci n»l give ti.- nam* of the ship, although both his history and his Letter Book mention a ship by the name of the Mayflower under date of 1629. Hie quotation in the Letter Book, given briefly iq his history, is from a letter of James Shirley and reads as follows "Here are now many of your • friends from Leyden coming over, which though for the most part they - be but a weak company, yet herefh is a good part of that end obtained which was first aimed at and which hath been so strongly opposed by some of our former adventurers: but | God hath his workings in these , r things, which men cannot frustrate. ; • With them also we have sent some | t servants, or in the ship that went , - lately (I think called he Talbot) and » this, that these came in, is the; 1 Mayflower." There is no certainty that this was 1 the ship of 1620, although of the ! same name. The father of Secretary j. Morton was George Morton, who I died ten months after his arrival in| the Ann in 1623, leaving a wife and | five children. He was not, therefore, j a Mayflower passenger or a "boy of seven among the 1620 adventurers." I The fact that Bradford does not i give the name of the ship and that the name does not appear upon the ' = I records at Plymouth yntil Morton) ■^rote his memorial fifty years after 'E I the landing of the ship does not I ' break down the reliability of the re- 1 w card as it finally appears. The ship | of the Pilgrim migration was the ( 01 Mayflower as surply as any fact in v< history. When Morton wrote his) = memorial in 1669 at Jeast fifteen of 1IICIUI7I1R1 HI A V — — SV JCASL 1I17XVU U1

the Mayflower passengers were still living, one of them, John Howland, s from whom some 1200 descendants are now living in Cape May county, was 27 years of age at the time of the landing in 1620. He was associated with Morton in the management of the affairs of church and state at Plymouth, and it is beyond belief that • JlWton did not consult him in the preparation of the memorial. John Alden was twentyone in 1620 and lived until 1687. His position as assistant and deputy governor , brought him into repeated contact with the secretary, and it is not credible that his first-hand knowledge was overlooked by the author of the memorial. George Soule ^ftved until 1680; Sussanna White until 1680; Priscilla MulHns, wife of Alden, until 1680, Mary Chilton until 1679; Elizabeth Tilley, who was fourtee at the time of landing, lived until 1687 (wife of John Howland); Giles Hopkins until 1690; Constance until 1677; Joseph Sogers until 1678; Henry Sampson until 1684, and last of all Mary. Allerton, wife of Elder Cushman lived until 1699, when the granddaughter of Howland was rearing a family in Cape May.? Surely Secretary Morton had credible living authorities for his statement that the Pilgrims came on he Mayflower. PAUL STUBTEVANT HOWE Rector of the Church of the Advent Cape May, September 5, 1920.
