Yes. William Bradford wrote the Mayflower Compact upon the pilgrims' landing in Massachusetts and became the first governor. He was a well respected leader and was one of the pilgrims to survive the starving time and the first winter at Plymouth.
At the center of this cataclysm was one man, Metacom, leader of the Pokanokets, a tribe within the Wampanoag Indian Federation. At an early age, when relations between the natives and settlers were less stressed, Metacom was given the nickname of King Philip by the English, because of his haughty mannerisms. One of the many ironies of this conflict is that Philip was the son of Massasoit -- the same Massasoit who had helped the Plymouth Pilgrims survive their first winter in the New World. A father's kindness would became a son's curse.

There were about 150 people in all on the Mayflower. The passengers counted 102. They landed on what is now Cape Cod in the winter, so passengers and crew lived on the ship until spring. The Mayflower left the Pilgrims for a voyage home in April of 1621.

The colonists who landed during the winter and struggled to grow crops were the Pilgrims, who arrived in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in December 1620. The harsh winter conditions severely impacted their ability to cultivate food, leading to food shortages and high mortality rates. Many of the settlers did not survive the first winter, but those who did were eventually aided by local Native American tribes, which helped them learn to grow crops suitable for the region.
After the first winter of 1620-1621, only about half of the original Pilgrim settlers survived, with 50 out of the original 102 people remaining in Plymouth. This means that roughly 49% of the initial group was still in Plymouth after the harsh winter. The severe conditions, coupled with disease and food shortages, significantly impacted their numbers.
