Many people are aware that the passengers of the Mayflower were fleeing religious persecution.

The following is a list, as best as I can reconstruct, of the members of both contingents (by head of the household--wives and children are assumed to belong to the same contingent). It should not be mis-interpreted that the London and Leyden contingents were strongly opposed to one another; in fact most of the London contingent were probably Puritan and Separatist sympathizers and some even had family connections to those of the other contingent.
