According to one account there were more servants than these 20 on the Mayflower, but these were all I could find. Some were orphans “put to” families as child servants to be freed when they reach the age of majority, marking New England as a much nicer place to be a slave than Virginia and Maryland, where child slaves were typically held until age 31, to be released when worn out. Fatalities among the servants were worse than among their owners or foster parents, with 12 to15 [for the 3 unnamed servants do not reappear in the record] of 20 dying in the first year. However, one of the unnamed maidservants is suspected of having become a passenger’s second wife.
