Two Henlow families were amongst the passengers on the Mayflower in 1620. They were John Tilley, his wife Joan (Nee Hurst, previously Rogers) and his daughter Elizabeth and Edward Tilley, his wife Agnes (nee Cooper) and nephew and niece Henry Samson and Humility Cooper.
Agnes "Ann" Cooper was baptized 7 Nov 1585 at Henlow, Bedfordshire, England. She was the daughter of Edmund Cooper and Mary Wynne. Ann married Edward Tilley 20 Jun 1614 at Henlow. They moved to Leiden, Holland by 1618, and traveled in 1620 on the Mayflower to Plymouth, with nephew Henry Samson and niece Humility Cooper. Ann's sister Martha was the mother of Henry Samson, and her brother Robert was the father of Humility Cooper.
Bradford names "Edward Tilley and Ann his wife, and two children that were their cousins, Henry Sampson and Humility Cooper" in his list of Mayflower passengers [Bradford 442]. "Edward Tilley and his wife both died soon after their arrival, and the girl Humility, their cousin, was sent for into England and died there. But the youth Henry Sampson is still living and is married and hath seven children." [Bradford 446].
Some of the lines of Agnes Cooper's ancestry have been traced as far back as Wido de Reinbudcourt, the Doomsday Lord of Chipping Warden and Burton, Northampton, who lived in the 11th century, but no royal line has yet been found.
Agnes (Cooper) Tilley died sometime the first winter at Plymouth, between January and March 1621, as did her husband. She and Edward had no known children.

*Cole's Hill is the place where the Pilgrims buried those who did not survive the first winter. They were buried in unmarked graves, at night, supposedly because the survivors feared the local Native Americans would feel an advantage in strength if they knew how many of the colonists were dying during that first winter. The place is now marked with a stone sarcophagus which contains all the remains of the Pilgrims who were originally buried on the hill.
