Biographical Information
Gilbert Winslow was baptized on 29 October 1600 at St. Peters,
Droitwich, Worcester, England. He and his brother Edward came on
the Mayflower in 1620. He is the only known person to have
signed the Mayflower Compact while under the age of 21. According
to William Bradford, writing in 1651, Gilbert Winslow lived in Plymouth
for "divers years", before he "returned into England and died there."
In 1663, the Plymouth Court acknowledged Gilbert Winslow, deceased,
was a first-comer and his heirs could seek out and purpose a plot of
land to the Court. The estate inventory of Kenelm Winslow, another
brother who came later, mentions that he and his brother John were
granted Gilbert Winslow's land. Since Gilbert Winslow's land went
to brothers Kenelm and John, this suggests Gilbert did not have any
children of his own.
