MAYFLOWER!!The following biography was submitted by Eleanor Johnson. The primary source of the information is mayflowerfamilies.com
William Mullins was born about 1572. The possible parents were John and Joan (Bridger) Mullins of Dorking, Surrey, England. He married Alice,her maiden name has not been proven.
William came on the Mayflower with his family, his wife Alice and two children, Priscilla and a son,Joseph.One source said that he brought over 250 shoes and 13 pairs of boots.He was a shoe and boot maker by trade.
He died the first winter,21 February 1621.His wife and son also died the first winter. His will was written shortly before his death. He mentions his wife in the will and children Priscilla and Joseph, and his children back in Dorking, William Mullins and Sarah Blunden.
He is buried on the hillside above Water St.just overlooking Plymouth Rock...A sarcophagus is situated there with many people that died the first winter. William, Alice, his wife, and their son are buried in that memorial. The Pilgrims buried their dead at night in shallow graves so that the Indians would not know how many of them had died that first winter. Later the monument was built and the remains of the first winters dead were placed there on the hillside. I have been to the grave in Plymouth on a cold, windy day and it is very sobering to think of what they endured as they settled in this new land.
