William Mullins was born about 1572, apparently to John and
Joan (Bridger) Mullins of Dorking, Surrey ,
England .
He married a woman named Alice ,
but her maiden name has not been identified. Longstanding claims that her
maiden name is Atwood, or Poretiers, are without basis.
William brought his wife Alice and children Priscilla and
Joseph on the Mayflower; he also brought over 250 shoes and 13 pairs of
boots, his profession being a shoe and boot dealer. He died on 21
February 1620/1. His original will has survived, written down by John
Carver the day of Mullins' death. In it he mentions his wife Alice,
children Priscilla and Joseph, and his children back in Dorking, William
Mullins and Sarah Blunden. He also mentions a Goodman Woods, and a Master
Williamson, who have not been identified. It was witnessed by the Mayflower's
captain Christopher Jones, the Mayflower's surgeon Giles Heale, and Plymouth 's governor John
Carver.
