  or Molines (sir name);  Includes NotesNotes for William Mullins:
  MULLINS. WILLIAM MULLINS (or Molines), with his wife Alice, son and daughter, came in the "Mayflower" in 1620.
  His name appears as the tenth signer of the "Mayflower Compact."
  It is supposed that the Molines family were Walloons or French Huguenots.
  William Mullins was a fairly well-to-do shoe and boot dealer from Dorking, Surrey, England.
  He purchased a number of shares in the Pilgrims joint-stock company, becoming one of the Merchant Adventurers.
  He brought his wife Alice, daughter Priscilla and son Joseph to America on the Mayflower.
  Only Priscilla would survive the first winter, however.
  William Mullins made out his death-bed will on 21 February 1620/1,
  in which he mentions his wife Alice, daughter Priscilla, son Joseph, and married children William and Sarah
  who were still in Dorking. He also mentions a "Goodman Woodes"
  who remains unidentified, and a "Master Williamson" which was likely a Dutch pseudonym for William Brewster
  who was a fugitive at the time (for printing illegal religious pamphlets in Leyden).
  "William Molines and his daughter Priscilla, (afterwards wife of John Alden),
  and Philip De la'Noye and others remained in Leyden. That is when the French Huguenots went to Guiana.
  After this they went to England and joined the Pilgrims there. They embarked in the "Speedwell,"
  but in the readjustment of the passengers after the ship "Speedwell" gave out, we find them in the "Mayflower."
  William Mullins and his wife died in Plymouth, Mass., the first winter--1620-1.
  When William Mullins died he left a will which was proved in Dorking County, Surrey, England.
