Mary Chilton

Mary is the youngest of the Chilton children. During her birth, her mother suffered from a "serious bleeding disorder" and "infection of the womb" and nearly died. She was not able to carry another child to term after Mary, though there were a few attempts.
As the youngest child, she was cared for by many older siblings. She spent most of her life in Holland, and speaks both English and Dutch fluently.
She was only 15 when her parents decided to move to the New World. When her father died, she thought that was the end of the idea, but she soon learned that Justify would take their father's place on the voyage and escort her and her mother to the colonies.
After her mother died shortly after Winter began, Justify quickly arranged for her to marry John Winslow, a respected and decent man by his accounts. She was 16 when she married, and that was the last time that she saw her brother.
