William Butten
William Butten was a young indentured servant of Samuel Fuller, who was a long-time leader of the Leiden Church and appointed doctor for the group. At that time, children and young men were routinely rounded up from the streets of London or taken from poor families receiving church relief to be used as laborers in the colonies.〔Morison & Commager, ''The Growth of the American Republic, Virginia, 1618-1622'' (in H.S. vol. 1,(4th Ed., New York, 1950), p.40〕〔R.C. Johnson, ''The Transportation of Vagrant Children from London to Reinmuth'' (Ed.), Early Stuart Studies: Essays in Honor of David Harris Willson, (Minneapolis: 1970)〕
Butten was sick the entire voyage and died at sea when near the coast of New England. He may have been the son of Robert Butten and baptized Austerfield 12 February 1598.〔William Bradford, ''History of Plymouth Plantation by William Bradford, the second Governor of Plymouth'', (Boston: 1856, Not in copyright), p. 76〕〔Charles Edward Banks, ''Original Narratives of Early American History'', (New York: Grafton Press, 1929), p. 94〕
==Mayflower Voyage==
The ''Mayflower'' departed Plymouth, England on September 6/16, 1620. The small, 100-foot ship had 102 passengers and a crew of about 30-40 in extremely cramped conditions. By the second month out, the ship was being buffeted by strong westerly gales, causing the ship‘s timbers to be badly shaken with caulking failing to keep out sea water, and with passengers, even in their berths, lying wet and ill. This, combined with a lack of proper rations and unsanitary conditions for several months, attributed to what would be fatal for many, especially the majority of women and children. On the way there were two deaths, a crew member and a passenger, but the worst was yet to come after arriving at their destination when, in the space of several months, almost half the passengers perished in cold, harsh, unfamiliar New England winter.〔Eugene Aubrey Stratton, ''Plymouth Colony: Its History and People, 1620-1691,'' (Salt Lake City: Ancestry Publishing, 1986), p. 413〕
On November 9/19, 1620, after about 3 months at sea, including a month of delays in England, they spotted land, which was Cape Cod. And after several days of trying to get south to their planned destination of the Colony of Virginia, strong winter seas forced them to return to the harbor at Cape Cod hook, where they anchored on November 11/21. The Mayflower Compact was signed that day. There were forty-one of the adult males, including the servants, who signed the Mayflower Compact on November 11, 1620.〔〔George Ernest Bowman, '' The Mayflower Compact and its signers'', (Boston: Massachusetts Society of Mayflower Descendants, 1920), Photocopies of the 1622, 1646 and 1669 versions of the document, pp. 7-19.〕
