Elizabeth Ring, daughter of William & Mary [poss. Durrant] Ring. John I. Coddington located a record that may apply to Eliz: "Elizabeth Ringe, daughter of William Ringe & Marie his wife", baptized 23 Feb 1602/3, Ufford, Suffolk, England. If so, it would make her as much as 10 yrs older than usual at marriage, therefore it's possible the 'Elizabeth' baptized in 1602/3 is for a daughter Elizabeth who died young and 'this Elizabeth' was born later. See MEMORIES for this record, MC3D-QBS. Elizabeth Ringe/Ring's parents, William & Mary/Marie were members of the colony of Separatists in Leiden/Leyden, Holland, Netherlands, for many years where they were followers of Rev. John Robinson Elizabeth came to Plymouth, MA with her mother, widow Mary Ring, and siblings, probably in 1629, having likely been passengers on the 2nd ship [also] named 'Mayflower' which sailed from Gravesend, Mar 1629 and arrived Salem, MA, 15 May 1629, bringing 35 passengers, several of whom lived for a number of years in Leiden, Netherlands. The passengers were brought from Salem to Plymouth by boat.

In 1620, after 2 rough months at sea, 102 Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock and established one of the very first English settlements in America.
"The Pilgrims boarded the Mayflower in search of religious freedom in the New World in September 1620. The Mayflower set sail from Plymouth, England, with 102 passengers, 40 of whom called themselves ""Saints."" After two stormy months at sea, the ship reached the New World. Nearly half of the group died during their first winter due to malnutrition and the harsh New England winter."
A series of conflicts regarding England's governance during the years 1642 to 1651 is now known as The English Civil War. Charles I summoned supporters to join him against his enemies in Parliament.

Fighting continued for years and was finally ended at the Battle of Worcester on September 3, 1651, with a Parliamentarian victory.
