and her parents John and Joan (Hurst) Tilley.

John Howland was in his early twenties and Elizabeth 13 when they arrived on the Mayflower. They married four or five years later.

Elizabeth's parents John and Joan Tilley & her aunt and uncle Edward and Agnes Tilley had all died the first winter in the New World, leaving her an orphan.

Through John and Elizabeth I am related to Dubya and his dad, and to Sarah Palin. I am also related to Dubya through a Salem "witch." Cool, huh?
