• Notes

  Dorothy Bradford (nee May) description Born: around 1597, probably in Wisbech Died: 1620 Provincetown Harbour New research by Sue Allan and Caleb Johnson has shown that Dorothy certainly moved to Amsterdam with her non-conformist father, Henry May, in around 1608. She married William Bradford on 10 December 1613 in Amsterdam, Holland- she was 16 and he was 23. They had a child – John - who was probably born in 1617. He was left behind when Dorothy and William sailed for New England. On 7 December 1620, while her husband, William, was ashore exploring, Dorothy accidentally drowned in Provincetown Harbour after falling from the Mayflower.
