Peter Cooper came to MA on the ship Susan and Ellen in 1635. He married, apparently after he arrived, Emm, Ame, or Amelia, who was born in Rowley, Essex, MA in 1620! Was there another child born to a Mayflower passenger that first year?

Dianne and Dale have dealt with the identity of Peter Cooper and the question of Rowley, Essex, MA. Three women who sailed on the Mayflower are known to have been pregnant as far as I know: Elizabeth Hopkins had Oceanus at sea, and he died during the first year; Susanna White had Peregrine after the Mayflower had reached Cape Cod, but before the group settled at Plymouth; Mary Allerton died in childbirth and her child was not born alive.
