Narrative

WFT Vol. 11, No. 2630

Peter Brown, son of Thomas Brown, reached the rock-bound coast of New England, a member of that sturdy little band of Pilgrims who came to America in the "Mayflower". He was one of the thirty-three signers of the Mayflower Compact, and his name appears in Bradford's list of the Mayflower passengers, being spelled both with and without the final "e". He was a carpenter by trade, and shortly after his arrival in Plymouth, removed to Drexbury. When he came to America, he was unmarried. However, authentic record is found of his having twice married after his arrival. His first wife was Martha Ford, a widow, whom he married at Plymouth in 1624 or 1625.
