   William Bradford, age 30, and his wife, Dorothy (May) Bradford, age 23, immigrated from Leiden to Plymouth on the Mayflower in 1620. They were part of the Brewster’s Scrooby congregation and the Leiden group of Separatist Pilgrims. He signed the Mayflower Compact. Their son, John was “left behind [in Leiden] who came afterward” [Bradford 441,444].
   
   William was baptized in Austerfield, Yorkshire. Though not educated formally at any university, William was Governor of the Plymouth Colony 1621-33, 1635, 1637, 1639-43 and 1645-56; he was a minister and magistrate; his library one of the most extensive among the early settlers. He was the author of a detailed history of the Scrooby Church which included the history of the foundation of the Plymouth Colony. Much of what is known about the Mayflower passengers comes from this book.
   
   At his death in 1657, he owned land in Plymouth, Eastham, Bridgewater, Sawtuckett, and Coaksett (Westport Harbor) with rights to the town’s land at Punckatessett
   
   Dorothy (May) Bradford died shortly after the Mayflower anchored at Provincetown. Bradford himself reports in 1651 only that she died shortly after their arrival. Some authorities and family legend say she jumped overboard and drowned in Cape Cod Bay.
