William Holbeck

William Holbeck came on the Mayflower as a servant, or apprentice, to the William White family.  Since he was termed a servant, and did not sign the "Mayflower Compact," he was likely under the age of 21.  A search of English baptism records has turned up at least four candidates named William Holbeck who were baptized between 1600 and 1610, including at Fillongley and Shustoke, co. Warwick, and Spofforth, co. Yorks. There is a William Holbeck baptized at 24 April 1603 at Gainsborogh, Lincolnshire, son of John. 

There is also a significant Holbeck family residing in Leiden. It is possible William Holbeck may have been from a Dutch of Walloon family.
