Ellen More

BAPTIZED: May 24, 1612/Shipton, Shropshire, England
DIED: Winter of 1620 –1621/Plymouth

Ellen More and her younger siblings, Richard, Jasper, and Mary, had sad beginnings in the New World. The children, aged four to eight, had been placed with the Brewster, Carver, and Winslow families in 1620 by their father, who had divorced their mother for infidelity and believed the children were not his. Ellen, the oldest of the four children, was placed with Edward and Elizabeth Winslow and accompanied them aboard the Mayflower.

Richard was the only one of the More children to survive into adulthood; Ellen, Mary, and Jasper all died the first winter.
