MAYFLOWER in 1620.
The maiden name of WILLIAM MULLINS' wife Alice is not known. It has
not been shown to be Atwood, Poretiers, or any of the other identifications
that are floating around. [Mayflower Descendant 44:44]. The identification
of her as Alice Atwood is based solely on the fact
that William Mullins mentions a "Goodman Woodes" in his will. That is clearly
not enough evidence to make a genealogical connection! There is
no evidence at all to show that Alice was the daughter of Nicholas
Atwood [(RIN 1755)] of Westminster, Middlesex as claimed by the I.G.I.
and Ancestral Files of the Morman church.
. The occasionally published death date of 15 March 1620/1 for Alice is
totally absurd--no such record exists. Alice was alive on April 2, 1621,
as evidenced by the will of William Mullins. No doubt she was also alive
three days later on April 5, 1621 when the Mayflower finally set sail,
otherwise the will would have been changed.
