FrancisCooke, JamesChilton, JohnAlden and GeorgeSoule were among the 41 passengers who composed and signed the Mayflower Compact on 11 November 1620 while still aboard the Mayflower after arriving and anchoring in what is now Provincetown Harbor, Plymouth Colony, Massachusetts. All 41 of the adult male members on the Mayflower signed the Compact. It outlined the first written laws for the new land, determined authority within the settlement and was observed as "the law" until 1691. The Compact established that the colony of mostly persecuted Separatists was to be free of English law. It was devised to set up a government from within themselves and was written by those to be governed. When creating the Mayflower Compact, the signers believed that covenants were not only to be honored between God and man, but also between each other. They had always honored covenants as part of their righteous integrity and agreed to be bound by this same principle with the Compact. John Adams and many historians have referred to the Mayflower Compact as the foundation of the U.S. Constitution written more than 150 later.1,2,3

Although the source lists the births or baptisms of eleven children, it also states that Thomas and Grace Minor had ten children. Judah appears to be the "extra" child.1
(Minister) Marriage
8 March 1683
Thomas Minor performed the marriage ceremony of JohnBolton and SarahChesebrough on 8 March 1683 and recorded the event in his diary. "The ffirst moneth is march, hath .31. days.... .1683.... and Thursday the .8. day I was at the mill and maried John bolten, Rezident in stoneington, and sarah Cheesbrough of the same towne...."2,3
Thomas and GraceMinor were both buried in Wequetequock Cemetery, Stonington. Their grave was covered by a "wolfstone", consisting of a large granite slab which it is believed he selected for the purpose from his own field. On one side of the stone an inscription read: "Here lyeth the body of Lieutenant Thomas Minor, aged 83 years. Departed 1690". His wife, Grace, who died just two months after her husband, was buried beside Thomas, and the opposite side of the stone was inscribed for her.1

Experience Mitchell1
b. circa 1602
Birth*
circa 1602
ExperienceMitchell was born circa 1602 possibly in England. The source indicates that Mitchell's ancestry remains unknown, with a possible connection with a Thomas Mitchell of England.2
Experience Mitchell appeared with other members of his future father-in-law FrancisCooke's household and "company" on the document commonly known as the 1627 "Division of Cattle" and dated 22 May 1627 in Plymouth Colony, Massachusetts. The document was a complete list of all the residents of Plymouth as of May 1627 and divided them into 12 “lots,” with 13 people per lot sharing the use of one cow or calf and two goats. Families were generally kept together within each lot, and single men were listed throughout. In some places on the original document, names were scribbled in where newborns were included with the rest of their family. The attached PDF transcription was downloaded from the Mayflower History website.4,5
Marriage*
after 22 May 1627
He married JaneCooke, daughter of FrancisCooke, after 22 May 1627 in Plymouth Colony, Massachusetts. The Mayflower Increasings source stated that Jane was still single for the 1627 "Division of Cattle" which occurred on 22 May 1627.6,7
