I am Priscilla Mullins, I would like to tell you about my
life. I was born in Surry, England around 1602. I had a
mother and father named Alice and William Mullins. I also had a
little brother named Joseph as well as an older brother and
sister. I sailed across the ocean on the Mayflower. It was
really hard having my family die during the first hard winter. We
left my older siblings in England. I wanted to be like William
Bradford. I wanted this because he kept the crew from turning
around. He left England because he was willing to fight for what
he believed. He struggled when his wife died. So he
understood other’s difficult times.
I have done so many good things in my lifetime. I was involved in starting a settlement, raising 10 children, and helping my husband farm a 100acre grant of farmland in Duxbury where we eventually moved. I also helped watch the younger children. My most important contributions probably were taking care of the sick. Also I helped to plant food. I also helped cook, clean, and sew for the family I was living with. Taking care of the ill I saved some lives. Really doing whatever needed to be done helped everybody. Well I was persistent. When my family died, I didn’t give up. I was also brave, when I went across the Mayflower. I had experiences in England, where there were more people, but less freedom. I had experiences in Plymouth where you could worship as you chose to. I had experiences in Duxbury where we eventually moved. I consider my 10 kids my greatest success. My greatest problem was having my family die during that first hard winter. Then I had to move in with another family. My message would be to work hard and to never, ever, give up.
