[3910] Edward Winslow was baptized at Droitwich, co. Worcester, England, Oct 20
1595 and died May 8, 1655 in about the sixty-first year of his life. He
was the son of Edward and Magdalene (Oliver) Winslow. Brothers Gilbert
(who came on the Mayflower, but returned to England and there died--no
known issue), John, Josias and Kenelm all came to Plymouth. At the time
of his marriage in Leiden, he was called a printer of London. His first
wife died the first winter shortly after the Pilgrims landed. He died on
a voyage from Hispaniola to Jamaica and was buried at sea.
