Alice came over on the ship "Anne" in 1623.

Alice came to America a few years after the Mayflower. She was a widow (last name Southworth) and had two young sons.

Alice Carpenter was one of the Leiden Separatists in Holland. She married Edward Southworth while in Holland, and they had two sons. After Edward died, Alice sailed to America on the Anne in the summer of 1623. She had sisters at the Colony. Her sister, Priscilla Wright, had come on the Fortune. Her sister Juliana came with her on the Anne. William Bradford was also a Separatist and had arrived at the Colony on the Mayflower in 1620 with his wife Dorothy. While the Mayflower was anchored off Provincetown Harbor and many of the men were out looking for a place to settle, Dorothy Bradford accidentally fell overboard and drowned. William had been elected governor of Plymouth Colony in 1621, and was re-elected nearly every year thereafter. As governor, he oversaw the courts, the colony's finances, corresponded with investors and neighbors, and had a very active role in the running of the entire Colony. Shortly after her arrival, Alice Southworth married Governor William Bradford. Captain Emmanuel Altham of the Little James reached Plymouth ten days after the Anne. Altham described the wedding feast: Upon the occasion of the Governor's marriage [August 14, 1623], Massasoit (Native American chief) was sent for to the wedding, where came with him his wife, the queen, although he hath five wives. With him came four other kings and about six score men with their bows and arrows—where, when they came to our town, we saluted them with the shooting off of many muskets. And so all the bows and arrows was brought into the Governor's house, and he [Massasoit] brought the Governor three or four deer and a turkey. And so we had a very good pastime in seeing them dance, which is in such manner, with such noise that you would wonder.... And now to say somewhat of the great cheer we had at the Governor's marriage. We had about twelve pasty [meat pie] venisons, besides others, pieces of roasted venison and other such good cheer in such quantity that I could wish you some of our share. For here we have the best grapes that ever you saw—and the biggest, and diverse sorts of plums and nuts. William and Alice had three children, all of whom survived to adulthood. The Governor's wife has been credited with "laboring diligently for the improvement of the young women of Plymouth and to have been eminently worthy of her high position." She was typical of those women who came in the Mayflower and her sister ships. Although she escaped the tragic struggles and illness of that first winter, yet she revealed the same qualities of courage, good sense, fidelity and vision which were the watchwords of that group of women in Plymouth colony. William Bradford was sick during the winter of 1656-1657. He died in May 1657, at the age of 68. Alice Southworth Bradford's death was noted in the Records of Plymouth Colony: On the 26th day of March, 1670, Mistress Alice Bradford changed this life for the better, having attained to fourscore years of age, or thereabouts. She was a Godly matron, and much loved while she lived, and lamented, tho aged, when she died, and was honorably interred on the 29th day of the month aforesaid at New Plymouth.

Alice Carpenter was baptized on August 30, 1590 in Wrington, but her record was not found.[5] She may have been a twin of Joan. Alice later was courted by many, including a young William Bradford. She returned his affections, but her parents opposed the marriage. She would later marry Edward Southworth on May 28, 1613[6] in Leyden who died by 1622 probably in London. They had at least two children. Alice would immigrate to the Plymouth Colony where she would marry Governor William Bradford on August 14, 1623 and would bear him six children. She would die a widow in Plymouth on April 5, 1670/1671.[5][7]

Biography

Alice (Els) Carpenter Southworth Bradford was one of the 5 or 6 daughters of Alexander Carpenter. Some records of the family are recorded in the records of Wrington, Suffolk, England. During her growing up years her family lived in Wrighton, England, Amsterdam, and then Leiden, Holland, as her father was a religious non-conformist during the period when England persecuted religious dissidents.

Her first marriage was to Edward Southworth, at Leiden May, 1613. The Southworths had two sons, Thomas and Constance.

After her husband passed away, Alice Southworth joined the Pilgrims in Plymouth Colony, Alice arrived in Plymouth on the Anne about 10 July 1623 (which had sailed with the Little James but arrived a week earlier) accompanied by Thomas Morton II, the likely son of the Thomas Morton I of the Fortune. Less than a month later she married William.

William and Alice’s marriage was the fourth to take place in the new Colony, and Alice brought her own property into the marriage. Three children were born to the Bradfords: William, Mercy and Joseph.

Alice and Edward’'s son Thomas came over with his mother and Constant came over in 1628 and they were brought up in William’s (Bradford's) household..[2]

Although Alice Bradford had very little formal education, she had a strong personality, deep faith, great influence, and owner her own property. Wikipedia says, "The Carpenter sisters of Leiden, Netherlands and Plymouth Colony provided a unique genetic impact and moral influence to the colonization of the Plymouth Colony in America in the early 1620s. ... They became their family matriarchs that settled the hearths, and maintained Pilgrim Fathers".

Alice died on Saturday, 26 March 1670, in Plymouth and was buried there the next Tuesday near her husband. Her will dated 29 December 1669 and exhibited 7 June 1670 names her sister Mary Carpenter and sons Constant Southworth, Thomas Southworth (deceased), Joseph Bradford and Capt. William Bradford. Notes

   Alice's sister Juliana Carpenter (bp. 17 March 1584 St. James Church, Bath, Somersetshire–?) married George Morton on 23 July 1612 in Leyden. George and Juliana arrived at Plymouth on 17–20 July 1623 aboard the Little James. George’s brother Thomas Morton I (bp. 1 March 1589–?) arrived earlier in Plymouth, aboard the Fortune on 9 November 1621. 

The Southworths and William (Bradford) lived in Heneage House on Dukes Place in London for about a year before the Mayflower sailed, so were probably well acquainted. Edward died by 1621, probably in Leyden, after the Mayflower sailed.
William was elected governor of the Colony in 1621, following the death of Governor Carver. William was reelected governor annually in the periods 1621-–33, 1635-–37, 1639-–44 and 1645-–57. In between he was elected Assistant Governor. He lived in his house at the bottom of Burial Hill in Plymouth and kept a farm in Kingston. He authored many books on history, the best known and one of the few not lost being “History of Plymouth Plantations.[3].”
