Description

Little is known about Mrs. James Chilton, whose first name was not recorded.  She was the mother of approximately 10 children.  She and her husband, who hailed from Kent, England were passengers on the Mayflower, along with their 13-year-old daughter, Mary.   James Chilton, the oldest passenger, at age 64, and his wife died during the winter of 1620 and 1621.

The Mayflower

The Mayflower left England in September 1620 with 102 men, women and children bound for Virginia.  After 65 days they arrived far north of their preferred destination.  They created a government on arrival forming the Mayflower Compact, which stated the colonists would create “laws, ordinances, acts, constitutions, and offices…,” follow their Christian faith, work together for the common good, and be loyal subjects to King James.

This Mrs. James Chilton history mug is part of our Mayflower history series which includes many of the notable figures who played major roles during this conflict.

The biographical History Mugs were created to teach and inspire individuals to learn about our diverse and interesting history.  The biographies were researched and written by history enthusiast, Robert Compton.  He colorized most of the historic photos and images used on the mugs, which were originally black and white or sepia tone.  The images and biographies are imprinted on mugs at his studio in rural Vermont.
