James Chilton

b. before 1556, d. 18 December 1620
Family
Father*Lyonell Chylton1
Birth*before 1556James Chilton was probably born before 1556, if his age in 1619 was actually 63, in Canterbury, Kent County, England.1 
Marriage*before 1587He married Susannah Furner, daughter of ______ Furner and Isabel (__?__) Furner, before 1587.1,2 
(Adult Male) Mayflower Passenger9 November 1620James Chilton was about 64 years old, and likely the oldest passenger, when he sailed with his wife Susannah and daughter Mary onboard the Mayflower from Plymouth, England to Plymouth Colony in what is now Massachusetts. His daughter Mary has traditionally been given the honor of being the first female to step ashore at Plymouth Rock, however no historical documentation for this tradition has ever been found. When the Mayflower departed Plymouth, England on 6 Sep 1620, she was carrying 102 passengers, including three pregnant women. During the voyage one baby, Oceanus Hopkins, was born making a total of 103 passengers. Three days before land was sighted, passenger William Button died, so when the Mayflower arrived there were again 102 passengers. A full list of the passengers may be accessed by clicking on the PDF icon at the end of this section and those included in this project so far include adult males John Alden, Francis Cooke and James Chilton, adult females Susanna (Furner) Chilton, young male John Cooke, and young females Priscilla Mullins and Mary Chilton.

During the weeks ahead, while everyone still "lived" on the ship, the men explored the area looking for a place to build their settlement. Another baby, Peregrine (meaning "wanderer") White, son of William and Susannah, was born in America onboard the Mayflower on 20 Nov, the first English child born to the Pilgrims in the New World. The White's servant, Edward Thompson, died on 4 Dec, followed shortly by 7 year old Jasper More, one of the four illegitimate children placed on the Mayflower in the care of the William Brewster family by their mother's humiliated husband. Two of the other More children died as well. And, tragically, Dorothy May Bradford, William Bradford's wife, slipped over the side of the anchored Mayflower and drowned. In early December the group decided to move the ship and look somewhere else for a settlement location. The ship and its passengers left Provincetown Harbor on 15 Dec. Two days later on 17 Dec, the Mayflower dropped anchor at Plymouth Harbor and on 21 Dec the first landing party arrived at the site of what would become the settlement of Plymouth. The weather, however, was so terrible they could not begin work on shore for several days. In the meantime, the Mayflower had become a hospital ship, the passengers suffering from colds, coughs, fevers and scurvy. James Chilton had died even before the Mayflower arrived in Plymouth Harbor. Richard Britteridge passed away the day the ship arrived, and two days later Solomon Prower, the stepson of Christopher Martin, the ship's designated "governor", died. The following day Mary Allerton gave birth to a stillborn son.

By the end of January 1621, enough of the settlement had been built to begin unloading provisions from the Mayflower, however the emigrants' ordeal was far from over. With two and sometimes three people dying a day during February and March, almost everyone had lost a loved one. Christopher Martin died in early January, his wife Mary soon after. The Rigsdale, Tinker and Turner families were completely wiped out, followed by Susannah Chilton whose husband James had died while the ship was at Provincetown Harbor. The Chilton's 13 year old daughter Mary had become an orphan. Also orphaned that first winter were 17 year old Joseph Rogers, 12 year old Samuel Fuller, 18 year old John Crackston, 17 year old Priscilla Mullins and 13 year old Elizabeth Tilley, who also lost her aunt and uncle, Edward and Ann Tilley. By mid-March, William Bradford, Myles Standish, Francis Eaton and Isaac Allerton, who had three children between the ages of eight and four, had all become widowers. When William White died, his widow Susannah was left with their newborn son Peregrine and 5 year old Resolved. Susannah was the plantation's only surviving widow. By that first spring, 52 of the 102 who had originally arrived at Provincetown were dead. Half, however, survived. And, miraculously, the families of William Brewster, Francis Cooke, Stephen Hopkins and John Billington were completely untouched by all the disease. The remaining "Pilgrims" worked, prayed and fought together and their settlement of Plimouth Plantation in Plymouth Colony had begun.3,4,5
(Signer) Mayflower Compact11 November 1620James Chilton was one of the 41 adult males who signed the Mayflower Compact on 11 November 1620 onboard the Mayflower which was at anchor in what is now Provincetown Harbor, Plymouth Colony, Massachusetts (Plymouth Colony). 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.3,6,7
Death*18 December 1620He died aboard the Mayflower in Cape Cod Harbor on 18 December 1620.1 
(Father) OrphanWhen James and Susanna (Furner) Chilton both died during their first winter in America, their 13-year-old daughter Mary Chilton was left orphaned in her new world.2,1

Henrietta Christensen1

Family
Birth*6 December 1852Henrietta Christensen was born on 6 December 1852 or 1851 in Denmark.1,2,3 
Name VariationShe was called Jette, which in America was spelled "Yette."4,5,6 
Marriage*3 September 1871She married Lauritz Nyboe, son of Niels Lauritzen Nyboe and Else Poulsdatter __?__, on 3 September 1871 in Måbjerg Parish, Ringkjøbing County, Denmark.1,7,8,9 
Immigration*7 October 1879Henrietta and Lauritz Nielsen Nyboe immigrated to America with four of their children on the ship Anchoria, arriving into the Port of New York on 7 October 1879. Elsie was 7 years old, Anna and Wilhelm were ages 4 and 3 years, respectively, and Freida was one year old. The couple's 6-year-old son, Niels Lauritz Nyboe, for reasons we don't know, remained in Denmark with his aunt and uncle, Johanne Kirstine (Nyboe) Lassen and her husband, Thomas Ludvig Lassen.10 
Census US 1880*9 June 1880Jette and Laurence Nyboe were enumerated on the 1880 census taken on 9 June 1880 at 831 10th Avenue, New York City, New York County, New York. Laurence was 41 years of age and a house painter, and Yette was 28 years of age and keeping house. Four children were enumerated with them in 1880. Elsie, who was recorded as Lizzie, was 8 years old and at home; Annie was 5 years old and at home; William was age 3 and Freida was one year old.6

Elsie was 13 years old and at home; Anna, Willie and Freida were ages 9, 8 and 7 years, respectively, and all were attending school; Alma and Rudolph were ages 3 and 2 years, respectively, and at home; and baby Harold had been born in March and was three months old.

Census US 1900*11 June 1900Henrietta and Lauritz Nyboe were enumerated on the 1900 census taken on 11 June 1900 at 1317 East 6th Street, Grand Island, Hall County, Nebraska.

They owned their home free of mortgage, had been married for 28 years, and Henrietta had given birth to thirteen children, nine of whom were living. The family had immigrated to America in 1878 and Lauritz had not been naturalized. Six of their children were enumerated with them in 1900.
