What were the names of the pilgrims from the first thanksgiving?

What were the names of the pilgrims from the first thanksgiving?
Neither John Smith not Pocahontas were at the first Thanksgiving. Both were at the Jamestown colony in Virginia, not the Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts. I'll link two lists.. one is a passenger list of every one of the 102 passengers who set out on the Mayflower. This is a list of all your characters who weren't Native American. The second is a list of those who died during that first winter, so you know not to include them. Remember that the first Thanksgiving occured the November AFTER the people in this first list already died (Nov 1621, this list lists those who died through March of 1621). So you can deduce from the two lists who was likely still alive in Nov 1621 to celebrate, as no new arrivals came during that summer of 1621 and only a couple children were born in that period. Only 53 colonists survived to celebrate that feast.
