| Notes |
- From "Family Records of Winslows and Their Descendants in America" Holton 1877:
"[Kenelm] came to Plymouth probably in 1629 with his brother Josiah, and was admitted freeman 1 Jan 1632-3. In 1640 he was chosen Surveyor in Town of Plymouth, but neglecting highways is fined ten shillings. He removed to Marshfield, about 1641, having previously received a grant of land at that place, then called Green's Harbor 5 Mar. 1637-8. ... He was one of the original proprietors of Assonet (Freetown) Mass., purchased from the Indians 2 April, 1659.
Mr. Winslow was styled "joiner" 6 Jan., 1633-4, when Samuel Jenney was indented to him as an apprentice; but he is elsewhere and generally called a "planter" and was somewhat engaged in the shipping interest.
Besides serving his townsmen in minor offices, he was deputy, or representative, in the general court, 1642-44, and 1649-53.
He married June, 1634, Eleanor Adams, widow of John Adams, of Plymouth. She survived him and d. at Marshfield, Mass. where she was buried 5 Dec. 1681 "being 83 years old." He died 13 Sept. 1672, aged 73, Salem, Mass. where he had gone on business."
According to a letter in "Family Records of Winslows and Their Descendants in America" Holton 1877, he "probably came on the Mayflower itself, in 1629 [second voyage], when it formed part of the Puritan Expedition... however he came, it was as a Pilgrim to join the Old Colony."
