Notes

According to Savage (who cites Bradford's History), there were "rumors" that she was the dau. of Gov. Carver who died in the first harsh winter after the Mayflower's landing, but these have been rebunked, and that she was instead the dau. of John Tilley, the only surviving member of that family after that first harsh winter.
