Pilgrim Background Until the latter part of the sixteenth century, the only Bibles available were printed in Latin. After the Reformation began the Geneva Bible was published in English.

At the time the Pilgrim Fathers were living in England there was only one church approved by the English rulers. Click here for Map of Scrooby Region. MayflowerHistory.com. But since you're here anyway, why not learn a little about some other, rather more important things in Pilgrim history that have also gone missing: The original Mayflower Compact. Copies of the text were published in 1622, and copied down into the Bradford manuscript about 1630. A copy was also published for Plymouth Colony in 1669 by Secretary Nathaniel Morton (to which he included the first known list of signers). It was also published with the names of the signers in 1736 by Thomas Prince.

The original has not been seen since. William Bradford's Register of Births and Deaths for early Plymouth. Thomas Prince cited Bradford's register of births and deaths on several occasions in his 1736 book, Chronological History of New England in the Form of Annals.
