    Notes 
    • BIRTH: No birth rec found, but Elizabeth no doubt belongs to the family of Thomas Blossom, the only family of this name in the colony. She must have been born between 1620 and 1625, as Thomas Blossom of Leyden wrote to Gov. William Bradford of Plymouth, 15 Dec 1625: "I have only two children which were born since I left you." ("Governor Bradford's Letter Book," MAYFLOWER DESCENDANT, 5[1903]:165-67 [974.4 D25md]). Since Elizabeth married in 1637, she must have been born near 1620. The family left Leyden in 1629.
