NOTES ON VARIOUS ANCESTORS OF SIMEON AND MARY
(SNELL) REYNOLDS

Three comprehensive genealogical charts accompany these pages. Each is in the form of a radial semi-circle; at the center of such diagrams is the person whose general ancestral history is traced. The first chart covers the ancestors of Simeon' Reynolds; the second (on p. 73) of Captain Zebedee Snell, father of Mary, Simeon's wife; the third of Mary Hayward, Zebedee Snell's wife, and mother of Simeon's wife. Therefore the following notes are of active interest to all living descendants of Simeon and Mary. They explain part of the charts:

1. Ancestors who came in the "Mayflower," 1620.

The children of Simeon and Mary are descended from the following twelve Mayflower ancestors:

JOHN ALDEN (b. 1599; d. Sept. 12, 1687). He was not with the Pilgrims in Leyden, Holland, but shipped with them in Southampton, England, as cooper. Last survivor of those who signed the Compact. Married Priscilla Mullins, and had 11 children. Simeon was descended from their daughter Mary who m. Thomas Delano. Zebedee from their son Zachariah, wife Mary Mary Hayward from their son Joseph and wife Mary (Simmons). We therefore have three claims upon John and Priscilla. See Alden Genealogy, 1867, by Ebenezer Alden, M. D., p. 11, etc. (S., Z., M.)†

PRISCILLA MULLINS, m. John Alden, 1623,-read Longfellow's "Courtship of Myles Standish."

WILLIAM MULLINS, tradesman of Dorking, County Surrey, England, was not with the Pilgrims in Holland. He, his wife and son Joseph died the first winter, 1621. Father of Priscilla, just above.

ALICE MULLINS, wife of William and mother of Priscilla, d. 1621.
FRANCIS COOKE (1583-1663, at Plymouth). He m. Hester Mahieu, June 1603,
Leyden, Holland. Freeman, 1633. Wife and children came in Ship Ann, 1623.
Daughter Jane Cooke, m. Experience Mitchell (1609-1689) who came in the
Ann, 1623. Francis had severe differences over religious matters with the
Plymouth leaders and he removed to Dartmouth, Mass., where he became a
Baptist minister, but later returned to Plymouth. (Z., M.)

MARY ALLERTON, d. 1699, last survivor of all those who came in the Mayflower. She m. about 1635, Elder Thomas (1608-1691), son of Robert Cushman. Robert came in the Fortune, 1621; left son Thomas in care of Governor Bradford, and returned to England on business for the Colony and d. there 1626. Mary had four children: son Thomas m. Ruth Howland, daughter of John and Elizabeth (Tilley) Howland below. (S.)

ISAAC ALLERTON (1583-d. 1659, New Haven); m. Mary Norris of Newbury, England. Parents of Mary Allerton, above.

MARY NORRIS, wife of Isaac Allerton, she d. 1621.

JOHN HOWLAND, m. Elizabeth Tilley, before 1624. He was b. 1592, d. Feby. 23, 1673, aged 80, leaving ten children. Daughter Ruth m. Thomas Cushman, son of Thomas and Mary (Allerton) Cushman. See above. (S.)

ELIZABETH TILLEY (b. 1607, d. Dec. 21, 1687, aged 80), wife of John Howland.
JOHN TILLEY "and his wife Elizabeth both dyed a litle after they came ashore," 1621.
ELIZABETH, wife of John Tilley and mother of Elizabeth above, d. 1621.

2. Other Notable Ancestors (see charts):

GOVERNOR ROGER CONANT (1592-1679), came 1623 in ship Ann, soon made manager of a company which settled at Cape Ann, 1625, founder of Salem, 1626, and was Governor of the Colony until the arrival of Endicott late in 1628; though not universally recognized as the first Governor of Mass., this distinction fairly belongs to Conant. He m. Sarah Horton. Was son of Richard and Agnes (Clark) Conant; grandson of John Conant. See Conant Genealogy. Simeon Reynolds comes of his son Lot and Elizabeth (Walton) Conant. †Abbreviations refer to Simeon, Zebedee and Mary.
