I also am a descendant of John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley. William Bradford was a leader of the Separatists, who famously fled England and wound up in America due to religious persecution.
The term "pilgrim" actually comes from a journal entry of his, in which he describes his group's flight from Europe, which he wrote years after the Mayflower voyage.
Upon landing at Plymouth, Bradford served as a member of key scouting parties that explored the new territory and eventually found a suitable location to set up a colony. While out exploring, his wife Dorothy died when she either fell or jumped overboard the Mayflower. Bradford kept a detailed history of Plymouth Plantation, which survives today as the oldest detailed record of the activities of the colony.
He served as Governor of Plymouth from and was the leader who oversaw and organized the first Thanksgiving. John Howland came over on the Mayflower as an indentured servant, serving the first Governor, John Carver. Howland served as Carver's executive assistant as he governed the colony through its first winter.
Carver fell sick and died in the spring of , and his wife and only child died shortly thereafter. Howland finally achieved status as a free man after Carver's death, and it is possible although unconfirmed that Howland inherited the entire Carver estate. Another Mayflower passenger, Elizabeth Tilley was orphaned when the rest of her family died during the first winter, and she lived in Howland's household as his ward. He married her around and they went on to have 10 children.
Howland lived until the ripe age of Richard Warren travelled over on the Mayflower, leaving his wife and five daughters behind. His intention was to wait until he thought the colony was suitable for them which proved to be a wise, but uncommon choice and eventually brought them over to join him in Warren was involved in the early exploration of Plymouth, which was treacherous for numerous reasons.
