Died at her daughter's home, Lydia Browne. 32
from Mayflower pages:
BAPTIZED: 19 December 1571, Henlow, Bedford, England, son of Robert and Elizabeth
(---) Tilley.
DIED: the first winter, between January and March, 1620/1, Plymouth
MARRIED: Joan (Hurst) Rogers, 20 September 1596, Henlow, Bedford, England,
widow of Thomas Rogers (no relation to Thomas Rogers of the Mayflower), and
daughter of William and Rose (---) Hurst.
*Note. Joan (Hurst) Rogers had a daughter Joan Rogers by her first marriage,
bp. 26 May 1594, Henlow, Bedford, England. Joan married Edward Hawkins, probably
a brother of her half-brother Robert's wife Mary Hawkins.
ANCESTRAL SUMMARY:
John Tilley, his wife Joan (Hurst) Rogers, and daughter Elizabeth came on
the Mayflower. John and Joan died the first winter, but Elizabeth lived,
married John Howland , and had eleven children. John's brother Edward Tilley
came with wife Ann Cooper on the Mayflower as well.
John Tilley did not marry Prijntgen (Elizabeth) van der Velde in Holland.
That was easily disproved in Mayflower Descendant 10:66-67, and by the subsequent
identification of Joan (Hurst) Rogers. Also note that the article in the
Mayflower Quarterly 49:16+ entitled "John Tilley Jr, 1599-1636" presents
a theory as to what happened to John Tilley's son John, but the article has
been criticized as presenting no proof but just speculations (Wakefield in
MD 43:76; Stratton p. 362).
John's wife Joan is the daughter of William Hurst and Rose (---). William
was born c1530, and died before 1571. He lived in Henlow, Bedford, England.
Joan Hurst was baptized in Henlow, Bedford, England on 13 March 1567/8. She
married first Thomas Rogers (no known relation to Thomas Rogers of the
Mayflower), and second John Tilley.
The known ancestry of John Tilley is as follows (from The American Genealogist
52:198-208):
Henry Tilley, b. c1465, d. 1520
Thomas Tilley, b. c1490, d. 1556
William Tilley, b. c1515, d. Jan. 1578/9
Robert Tilley, b. c1540, d. Feb. 1612/3
