Mayflower Increasings by Roser

Gen Reg 1st Settlers of NE: TILLEY, EDWARD and JOHN, two of the pilgrims of Plymouth, came to NE in 1620 and both d the next year. JOHN, Massachusetts, admitted freeman 1635.

Pioneers of MA pg 455: Tillie/Tilley/Tilly/Teley, John, came in the Mayflower; signed the Compact; res. at Plymouth. Took part in the explorations, and died from the exposure and hardships in the spring of 1621. He brought his wife and daughter Elizabeth. The wife d. about the same time as he; the dau. m. John Howland. [B. and Wins.] /P/ Note. Among the marriages at Leyden, Holland, we find that of "Jan Telly, and Prijntgen van der Velde," 3/3/1615, at Pieterskirk (opposite the house of Mr. John Robinson). His trade was that of "saeijwercker," or say-weaver; he was accompanied by his father, Paulus Tellij, and the bride by her mother Maeijcken Tay, whose marriage is on record to Abraham van der Velde 6/27/1591. Many circumstances point to this as the John Tillie of the Mayflower; yet the date is late for the time of the birth of the eldest child of Elizabeth Howland; nor does it correspond to the age asserted for her at her death. It may be that this is a second marriage of J. T., and Elizabeth his child by a former wife; or that this Dutch wife died, and that Tillie m. a second wife, whose child by her former husband was the bride of John Howland.
