Important New Mayflower
Information! (12/99)
"Some original English documents have been discovered which provide further
information about the CHILTONs of the Mayflower.
Mrs. CHILTON, Moses FLETCHER, and Thomas BARTLETT were excommunicated in
Sandwich, Kent on 12 June 1609. Original source record is Canterbury
Cathedral Archives X.2.5, f153v. This may be the first record of the
prosecution of a female Mayflower Pilgrim for Separatist acts.
The CHILTON/FURNER alleged marriage has been reproduced many times in
genealogies since 1962. The baptism of Susannah FURNER may be found in the
parish register of St. Paul's church, Canterbury as follows:"Susan Furner
the 5th daye" November, 1573. The CHILTON's first child Isabell was
baptised on 15th January 1586. Using old style dates, Susan would have
been only 12-1/2 years old at the time of her marriage to James CHILTON, then
about 29 years old. She would have been only 13 at the birth of Isabell. This is
highly unlikely therefore, until evidence has been submitted for their marriage,
Mrs. CHILTON's identity has not been proven and remains a mystery.
All original source references may be found in the New England Historical and
Genealogical Register Volume 153: Oct 1999, Whole number 612."
