Men Hired To Stay One Year
- Alden, John (Harwich, Essex) - considered a ship's crewman (he was the ship's cooper) but joined settlers
- Allerton, John*, was listed as a hired man but was apparently related to one of the Pilgrim families on board, Isaac Allerton's, who all came from Leiden. He sailed in order to settle in North America, and was to return to England to help the rest of the group immigrate, but died during the first winter of the Pilgrims' settlement. He may have been a relative of the "Pilgrim" Allerton family.
