Martha Bundy

John married Martha Chandler before 1649. Martha (daughter of Roger Chandler and Isabella Chilton) was born after 1622 in Leyden, Hollard; died in May 1674 in Taunton, MA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The Leyden poll tax of 15 Oct 1622 includes Rogier Chandelaer, Isabel Chandelaer his wife, and children Samuel and Sara. Roger and his family probably came to Plymouth in 1629 or 1630 when, according to Bradford, the Leyden contingent arrived. He was taxed in Plymouth 25 March 1633, and listed as a freeman the same year. These are the earliest records of him in this country. He was enumerated among those able to bear arms in Duxbury in 1643 and sold land there in 1644. He was listed among freemen of Duxbury in a tally presumed taken in 1658. In October 1655 the Plymouth
Court granted 150 acres of land to three (unnamed) duaghters of Roger Chandler deceased.

Roger married Isabella Chilton on 21 Jul 1615 in Leyden, Hollard. Isabella (daughter of James Chilton and Susanna Furner) was born on 8 Jun 1589 in Canterbury, England; died in UNKNOWN. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

BORN: About 1556 (he stated he was 63 in a 28 April 1619 Leyden document), probably Canterbury, Kent, England, son of Lyonell
Chilton and his second wife (her name is unknown).
DIED: 8 December 1620, on board the Mayflower
MARRIED: probably about 1586 based on baptism of first known child. Her name is currently unknown. The claim by John Hunt in
The American Genealogist 38:244-245 that his wife was possibly Susanna Furner has been recently disproven on the basis of the
discovery of Susanna Furner's baptism record, which indicates she was far too young (only 12) to be married and having children in
1586. See Michael Paulick, "The 1609-1610 Excommunications of Mrs. Chilton and Moyses Fletcher--Mayflower Pilgrims" in the
New England Historical and Genealogical Register, volume 153 (October 1999) for further information on this.

James Chilton, a tailor by trade, was the oldest Mayflower passenger, and one of the first to die after reaching the New World. He was
born and raised in Canterbury, Kent, England and around 1600 moved to Sandwich, Kent.

By July 1615, and probably as early as 1610, James, his wife, and at least some of his children were living in Leyden, Holland. On 28
April 1619, James Chilton and his daughter Isabella were caught in an anti-Armenian riot and James was hit in the head with a large stone
and required the services of the town surgeon, Jacob Hey.

He came on the Mayflower with his wife and daughter Mary. James and his wife died the first winter, leaving their daughter orphaned;
she probably joined with the household of Myles Standish.

Mary Chilton came on the Mayflower at the young age of 13, and popular legend gives her the distinction of being the first female to
step ashore at Plymouth. She married John Winslow, who came in the ship Fortune in 1621, and was the brother of Mayflower
passengers Edward Winslow and Gilbert Winslow.

James married Susanna Furner before 1587. Susanna was born in UNKNOWN in Unknown; died in 1621 in Plymouth, MA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
