Burial:
Burial is on hillside above Plymouth Rock...A sarcophagus is situated there with many people that died the first winter.  William, Alice, his wife, and their son  are buried in that memorial to those dear souls.  The Pilgrims buried their dead at night in shallow graves so that the Indians would not know how many of them had died that first winter.  Later the monument was built and the remains of the first winters dead were placed there on the hillside..

             xxx A 1620 Mayflower passenger, William Mullins came from Dorking, County Surrey, and he
             brought his wife Alice, his children Joseph and  Priscilla, and his servant Robert Carter, with him.
             Mullins died 21 February 1620/21 (MD 30:3). His will (MD 1:230) shows that he also left a son William
             and a married daughter Sarah (Mullins) Blunden, in England, and George E. Bowman, "The Estates of
             William2 Mullins and His Daughter Sarah3 (Mullins) (Gannett) (Savill) Faxon and of Her Three
             Husbands" (MD 7:37, 179) shows that William2 came to Plymouth Colony sometime after his
             father's death. From the probate documents it appears that granddaughter Sarah left no
             descendants, and the only proven Mullins descendants living today are via daughter Priscilla, who
             married John Alden. Though Bradford wrote that Mullins, his wife, his son, and his servant all died
             during the first winter, Bowman shows in MD 1:230 that the wife and son must have been alive
             when the Mayflower set sail again for England in April 1621, but died before the arrival of the
             Fortune in November 1621. Bradford called him "Mr. William Mullins," and [p.332] he was one
             of the more prosperous of the original settlers. See also Robert S. Wakefield, "William Mullins's
             Grandchildren in England," MQ 39:83.
