The "Mayflower Compact" was the first governing document of Plymouth Colony. It was drafted by the Pilgrims who crossed the Atlantic aboard the Mayflower, seeking religious freedom. It was signed on November 21, 1620 in what is now Provincetown Harbor near Cape Cod.

hi there, five groups actually arrived at plymouth so i wouldn't know which 2 you were talking about.
The Mayflower, carrying 102 settlers , left Plymouth, England, for a third time on September 6, 1620, without her sister ship Speedwell, which had ultimately been deemed unseaworthy, and sailed for the New World with a land patent in the Virginia Colony
The second group of settlers sailed on the Fortune, which arrived November 10, 1621. This second group, numbering about 34, was much smaller than the original Mayflower group but was almost as large as the survivors of that group, who numbered only around 50 when the Fortune arrived. The third group, of about 74 members, arrived on the Anne and the Little James in August 1623 and included the wives and children of several Mayflower passengers. The fourth group arrived in June 1629 on six ships and landed at Naumkeag (Salem, Massachusetts). The fifth group arrived June 1, 1630. They landed at Nantasket and settled Mattapan, which they called Dorchester, after their native city in England.
