William Mullins
The probate note on his will says he was lately of Dorking and died in parts beyond the sea, which puts the family in that Surrey town, though the parish register is thin: Mullyns entries run from 1571 to 1585 and then stop for a quarter of a century. He had a holding in the Manor of Dorking, bought in 1612 for a hundred and twenty two pounds at the unusually large rent of twenty three shillings a year, and in May 1619 he sold it for two hundred and eighty pounds to a man named Ephraim Bothall.
Between the buying and the selling, on 29 April 1616, the Privy Council issued a warrant to bring one William Mollins before their Lordships. He appeared on the first of May and was continued in their custody until by their Honours' order he should be dismissed. The cause is not stated. He sold the land three years later and sailed the year after that.
He put nine shares into the Adventurers' company and carried his stock with him, and the stock is in the will: twenty one dozen shoes and thirteen pair of boots, put into the company's hands for forty pounds. He brought his wife Alice, his son Joseph, his daughter Priscilla and a servant, Robert Carter, of whom he says in the will that he hath not so approved himself as I would he should have don. He left behind a married son and a married daughter.
He died on 21 February 1621 and the will was taken down as he was dying by Governor Carver, who wrote out the body of it and witnessed it, with Giles Heale the ship's surgeon and Christopher Jones the master of the Mayflower. It is the earliest will made by an Englishman in this country. Of the five of his household who sailed, only Priscilla was alive in the spring.
