I am not sure who put this all together, however the link to Elizabeth Tilley below does not take you to a site about the Howlands or Tilleys.
I am related to John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley; they are my 10th great-grandparents according to Ancestry.com. I wanted to join the discussion etc about them but the link via Violet-Lunge/5 below is confusing.

Can you shed any light on this ?
Thanks, K

Tilley, Elizabeth, daughter, bp. Henlow, Bedfordshire, England, 30 Aug 1607. She m. about 1625 John Howland. See Howland.

Dear Troy, Hi! Well, first of all, I've never been on in an online discussion and don't really know how they work. But, according to the info that I have read, John Howland was on the Mayflower and was later married to Elizabeth Tilley. They are my 11th great grandparents. The 2 links above shows 2 sources that I've come up with. Of course, I can't swear to it, but I thought the info was correct. Please let me know if this is not right! Thanks! Rochelle
P.S. Is this my first online discussion?

Erica Howton The link in the About Me of Elizabeth Tilley has gone bad.

I've put in a link to an archive.org version of the former link, since currently the link is just there to refer to the source for the quoted material in her About Me. Currently, the John Howland Society web page appears to have much less text about Elizabeth than it used to - http://www.pilgrimjohnhowlandsociety.org/john-howland/elizabeth-til...

It was John Howland, not Bradford (Howland?) who was the "lusty young man who fell overboard on the Mayflower voyage, and became a servant to the 1st colony Governor, John Carver, married Elizabeth Tilley and died in 1673. Both John and Joan Hurst Tilley died in Plymouth in 1621, during the first winter after arriving. Elizabeth Tilley Howland did indeed die in 1687. See: themayflowersociety.com, the official Mayflower Society site.

My Internet is down - I can't do any overview repair. Anyone else please feel free to assist. Thanks!

@Troy Anderson William Bradford mentions John Howland as a passenger on the ship and gets rescued in his book Of Plimoth Plantation and later in the book and in his notes he writes down the passengers who survived the first winter, married and left offspring to include John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley. Another book John Howland of the Mayflower by Elizabeth Pearson White published the first five generations of John Howland in several volumes.
