The Mary and John, a large ship of 400 tons, is reported to have taken three voyages out of Plymouth, England(1): These are two suggested passenger lists for the ship Mary & John compiled by authors from a variety of sources. No actual recorded passenger list from the Mary & John has come to light and there remain many questions as to who actually sailed on this ship and who came on subsequent ships.
