The ship landed at Boston without the loss of a single passenger. Robert was accompanied by his brother John, his eldest son Robert, a Miss Clark, aged fifteen, who was the daughter of a fellow passenger, and a Miss Greene, aged fifteen, perhaps a servant.  His wife Marie and other family members probably came on a later ship.   Robert died on 27 Oct 1644 in Salem, Mass.

Lydia West  probably died before he made the journey to America. This marriage to Lydia West is not proven, and is not mentioned in the early Pease genealogies.

Robert’s second wife, Marie, whose possible maiden name was Rodans, and the other children arrived in New England on a later ship. Marie, which is French for Mary, may have been born in Great Baddow, and her parents were probably Protestant refugees from France.  She has also been called Marie Browning, Marie Warren and Marie French. After Robert Pease died, Marie married Richard Haines of Beverly, Mass. taking the three other children with her.
