Tilley, John
xxx —A 1620 Mayflower passenger, John Tilley arrived at Plymouth with his wife Joan (Hurst), his daughter Elizabeth Tilley, and his brother Edward Tilley, q.v. A most valuable discovery by Robert Leigh Ward, "English Ancestry of Seven Mayflower Passengers," TAG 52:198, gives the Tilley origin in Henlow, Bedfordshire, and shows that John and Edward were the sons of Robert and Elizabeth (_____) Tilley. John and his wife left children in Bedfordshire who could conceivably have left descendants, though none living today is yet known. This article, plus Ward's subsequent articles, "Henry Sampson's Paternal Grandfather," TAG 56:141; "Further Traces of John Tilley of the Mayflower," TAG 60;171; and "The Baronial Ancestry of Henry Sampson, Humility Cooper, and Ann (Cooper) Tilley," TG 6:166, show much interrelationship among the Tilleys, Coopers, Sampsons, and Hursts. There were Hursts, also, living in Leiden (see under James Hurst), and Bangs's Pilgrims, p. 16, shows that a John Masterson, a Separatist who remained at Leiden, also came from Henlow, Bedfordshire.
