<P> Morton's list of names was unnumbered and untitled in all editions, although their order changed with successive editions . In his original 1669 edition, the columns were placed on two successive pages (15--16) forming six short columns, three columns of seven names each (headed Carver, Samuel Fuller, and Edward Tilley) on the first page and three columns of seven, seven, and six names each (headed Turner, Priest, and Clarke) on the next page . In the second (1721) and third (1772) editions, the six short columns were joined into three long columns of 14, 14, and 13 names each on a single page (20). The first and fourth short columns were joined into the first long column (headed Carver with Turner halfway down), the second and fifth short columns were joined into the second long column (headed Samuel Fuller with Priest halfway down), and the third and sixth short columns were joined into the third long column (headed Edward Tilley with Clarke halfway down), changing their order . In the fifth (1826) and sixth (1855) editions, the names were also in three long columns of 14, 14, and 13 names each on one page (1826: 38, 1855: 26), but now they were placed in their original 1669 order . The first and second short columns formed the first long column (headed Carver with Samuel Fuller halfway down), the third and fourth short columns formed the second long column (headed Edward Tilley with Turner halfway down), and the fifth and sixth short columns formed the third long column (headed Priest with Clarke halfway down). Both long column orders appear in modern lists of unnumbered signers . </P> <P> Prince numbered the names in their original 1669 Morton order (the same as the 1826 / 55 Morton order) on successive pages (85--86), two columns of eight names each on one page (headed 1 Carver and 9 Martin) and two columns of 13 and 12 names each on the next page (headed 17 Cooke and 30 Williams). The third (1852) edition placed these numbered names in two columns (the first column headed 1 Carver with 8 Samuel Fuller and 15 Edward Tilley below, and the second column headed 22 Turner with 29 Priest and 36 Clarke below) on a single page (172). He added titles (Mr. or Capt .) to eleven names, names that were given those titles by William Bradford in the list of passengers at the end of his manuscript . He attributed the lack of Mr. Bradford to Bradford's modesty . Prince's numbered order of signers is now used to identify ancestors in genealogical charts . </P> <P> The following list of signers is organized into the six short columns of Morton (1669) with the numbers and titles of Prince . The names are given their modern spelling according to Morison (1966). Use the numbers given for the order used by genealogists and half of unnumbered lists (Samuel Fuller will be the eighth name), but merge the half columns vertically into full columns for the order used by the other half of unnumbered lists (John Turner will be the eighth name). </P> <Table> <Tr> <Td> <Ol> <Li> Mr. John Carver </Li> <Li> William Bradford </Li> <Li> Mr. Edward Winslow </Li> <Li> Mr. William Brewster </Li> <Li> Mr. Isaac Allerton </Li> <Li> Capt .
