Notes for WILLIAM MULLINS:

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).
