________________________
George ALCOCK, Thomas LAMB, Richard PALGRAVE came over in the fleet with Winthrop from Stepney, Middlesex County in 1630 ten years after the Pilgrims, bringing with him his wife and his daughters, Mary and Sarah. Winthrop Fleet passengers were motivated to make their move by their need to "practice their religion free from the persecution of the Crown-Church of England." About one-third perished during or soon after their voyage.
George Alcock's son, John, married Richard Palgrave's daughter, Sarah; Thomas Lambe's son Joshua married their daughter, Mary Alcock.
