Elizabeth (St John) Whiting migrated from England to Colonial America.
Elizabeth Saint John, daughter of Oliver Saint John, Gent., of Keysoe, Bedfordshire, and Sarah Bulkeley, was born at Keysoe in 1605.[1] She was baptized 12 January 1605 at Bletsoe, Bedfordshire, England.[2]
On 6 August 1629, Elizabeth married at Boston, Lincolnshire, as his 2nd wife, Rev. Samuel Whiting,[3] minister, of Skirbeck, Lincolnshire, son of John Whiting, Esq., merchant, of Boston, Lincolnshire.[1] They had at least three sons and one daughter:
Samuel Whiting served as Rector of Skirbeck, Lincolnshire from 1625 to 1636. The family immigrated to New England in 1636, he became pastor of Lynn, Massachusetts and was later appointed overseer of Harvard College in 1654.[1]

Elizabeth (St John) Whiting is listed in Magna Carta Ancestry as a Gateway Ancestor (vol. I, pages xxiii-xxix) and is in a Richardson-documented trail to Magna Carta surety baronSaher de Quincy (MCA I:346-348 BULKELEY). This trail was project-approved/badged in Feb 2015 by a Magna Carta project member and was re-reviewed in Feb 2020. See the Magna Carta Trails section in the profile of her grandfather, Edward Bulkeley, to see the profiles in this trail.
See Base Camp for more information about identified Magna Carta trails and their status. See the project's glossary for project-specific terms, such as a "badged trail".
I was hoping to find the name of the ship that Elizabeth St.John Whiting and Rev. Samuel Whiting sailed on from England, with two children, Dorothy Whiting and Samuel Whiting, along with the English port of departure. They arrived in Boston on May 26, 1636. There are also reports that Rev. John Wheelwright sailed with them.

"Whiting left England in April, arrived 26 May, in one of the fifteen great ships in all the harbor together."
Thanks for any pointers!
Magna Carta does not have any stickers to identify descendants of the House of Plantagenet or for early immigrants to New England. Those stickers (if they exist) would most likely come from the European Aristocrats and New England projects, Douglas Richardson does document immigrants with royal connection, particularly in his editions of "Royal Ancestry" however the scope of the Magna Carta Project involves the descendant lines of surety barons to their approved Gateway Ancestors and generally not with their ties to most nobility or their geographic location.
I was wondering if there is a sticker for being a descendant of The House of Plantagenet, and being a early Immigrant to New England, according to Douglas Richardson?

Thank you!
Working on the Whitings and found a good source for Samuel and Elizabeth. Added it to the sources.
