Revision as of 20:39, 11 April 2012
Edward Tilley (1588-1620/1) was a Mayflower Pilgrim who is believed to have been born in Henlow, Bedfordshire, England.
In England
Edward Tilley and his wife Agnes Cooper were married on June 28, 1614 in Henlow, Bedfordshire. Agnes was the daughter of Edmund and Mary (Wyne) Cooper and was baptized November 7, 1585 at Henlow, Bedfordshire. They most likely lived in Henlow until they emigrated to Holland sometime after his marriage. There were no recorded children. In Leiden, Holland he worked as a weaver.
In Holland
At some point after that date he became a Separatist, and to escape the persecution of James VI and I he, along with several other Separatists, emigrated to the Netherlands.
On the Mayflower
Edward travelled on the Mayflower in 1620 in company with his wife Agnes and two young relatives, Humility Cooper and Henry Sampson. Agnes was the aunt of both Humility and Henry. He also travelled in company with his brother John Tilley and wife Joan Hurst Tilley.
The Mayflower was destined for the Colony of Virginia (present day Long Island). The vessel left England on September 1620 and was a grueling 66-day journey marked by disease, which claimed two lives. The weather and the seas forced the ship to drop anchor inside the hook tip of Cape Cod Harbor. While still aboard ship Tilley signed the Mayflower Compact, which has been called the world's first written constitution.
Death and legacy
Edward Tilley and his wife Agnes both died in the winter of 1620/21. With many others who died that winter, they were buried in unmarked graves in Coles Hill Burial Ground. Their names appear on the Pilgrim Memorial Tomb in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
Of the Tilley’s, only John Tilley’s thirteen year-old daughter Elizabeth and John Tilley and his wife Joan's daughter survived - Elizabeth became an orphan, having lost her parents as well as her uncle and aunt, Edward and Agnes Tilley. Elizabeth grew to adulthood in Plymouth Colony, married and thrived. Humility Cooper, also an orphan, was sent back to England, where she grew to adulthood.
