....I don't know if all our sources are different, but by the information provided, this website states that there were 105 total passengers (including 3 babies born at sea), but one baby died as a still born, and a second small child died as well, making 103 surviving landers. There were a total of 15 Johns, 73 men and boys as well as 30 women and girls.

The group of 102 passengers who crowded aboard Mayflower for the crossing was not homogenous.
