The parish records of St. Mary57;s reveal that a number of Pilgrims were baptized and or married there. Henry Samson was one of them. However, the best known is Elizabeth Tilley, who eventually married Pilgrim John Howland of Fenstanton, Huntingdonshire. She met John on the voyage. Her parents, 60;Mayflower61; passengers John and Joan Hurst (the widow Rogers*) were married there on 20 September 1596. Both John Tilley and Joan Hurst had been baptized there: he on 19 December 1571 and she, a daughter of William and (probably Rose) Hurst of Henlow, on 13 March 1568 (N.S.). In addition to daughter Elizabeth who was baptized there on 30 August 1607, their four other children, Rose (died young), John, Rose, and Robert, were baptized there between 23 Oct 1597 and 25 November 1604. None of the other children accompanied their parents on the 60;Mayflower.61; With the exception of Robert, who married Mary Hawkins and has living descendants in Bedfordshire, the fate of the others is unknown.

Mary57;s on 26 May 1594. Elizabeth and her parents are memorialized by a slate plaque placed there in 1989 by the Pilgrim John Howland Society. Other Tilley57;s with ties to the church were John57;s younger brother Edward and his wife Ann Cooper (a sister of Henry Samson 57;s mother Martha ): Edward was baptized there on 27 May 1588 and Ann on 7 November 1585. They were then married there on 20 Jun 1614. It was they who brought their sixteen-year old nephew Henry Samson along with them on the 60;Mayflower.61 (www.pilgrimhenrysamsonkindred.org....urch.shtml)
Henry57;s parents, James and Martha (Cooper) Samson , were married in St. Mary57;s on 20 May 1599. Records indicate that James had been baptized in nearby Campton in 1574. He apparently settled in Henlow after his marriage there. In addition to our Pilgrim Henry, the eldest of his children, there were four more sons (Joseph, Humphrey, James, and John) and four daughters (Mary, Dorothy, Mirioll, and Mary) baptized in St. Mary57;s between 1605 and 1618. James, the father, is buried there. (www.pilgrimhenrysamsonkindred.org....urch.shtml)
