    • Notes: 
    • Richard Austin of Charlestown (now Boston), Massachusetts, is often claimed to be the son of Richard Austin from Bishopstoke, Hampshire, England, and the nephew of Annis (Austin) Littlefield, who were both passengers aboard the Bevis in 1638. Both Thomas Wyman in 1879 and Robert Charles Anderson in 2015 stated that there is no evidence to support this making the claim circumstantial at best.
