Francis Eaton's Adventure

Francis Eaton's Adventure

Season: 6 Episode: 39

Francis Eaton was born ca. 1596 in Bristol, England, and died in the autumn of 1633 in Plymouth, Massachusetts Bay Colony. He, with his wife and son, were passengers on the historic 1620 voyage of the Mayflower. His signature appears on the Mayflower Compact

Francis Eaton’s story begins long before the Mayflower set sail, and when woven together, his early life and later journey form a striking portrait of resilience.
