Mayflower Descendant Consolidated Contents of Mayflower Descendant Volumes 1-68; January, 1899 - Summer, 2020 Compiled by, and Copyright © 2004-2021 by Dale H.

Any commercial site using or displaying any of my files or web pages without my express written permission will be charged a royalty rate of $1000.00 US per day for each file or web page used or displayed. [email protected] Revised January 7, 2021 As this file was created for my own use a few words about the format of the entries are in order. The entries are listed by MD volume. Each volume is preceded by the volume number and year in boldface. Articles that are carried across more than one volume have their parts listed under the applicable volumes. This entry, from Volume 14, will illustrate the format used: 14 (1912):45-48, 180-185, 203-209 (Cont. from 7:57, cont. to 15:45) Bridgewater, Mass., Vital Records {Vital Records of Bridgewater, Mass.} George Ernest Bowman The first line of an entry for an individual article or portion of a series shows the MD pages for an article found in that volume. When a series spans more than one volume a note in parentheses indicates the volume and page from which or to which it is continued. The second line shows the title of the article. Some series that began running in the early years of MD had the series title changed partway through their run. In those cases I have listed all of the articles in the series under the titles used for each portion, and have indicated alternative titles in curly braces. The third line lists the author. An initial section lists all series that were continued across more than one volume. In that section the series titles have been rearranged to indicate the town or family that is the focus of the series, and all volume and page numbers for the series are shown. I have listed only articles with genealogical or historical content of interest to the genealogical researcher. I have not included articles and series such as "Reports from State Societies" and "Proceedings of the Massachusetts Society of Mayflower Descendants," or book reviews. This file will be revised twice each year as I receive new issues of MD. Please address comments and corrections to the author at the email address given above.

Initially uninterested in politics, Taylor nonetheless ran as a Whig in the 1848 presidential election, defeating Lewis Cass. Taylor was the last President to hold slaves while in office, and the last Whig to win a presidential election. Known as "Old Rough and Ready," Taylor had a forty-year military career in the United States Army, serving in the War of 1812, the Black Hawk War, and the Second Seminole War. He achieved fame leading American troops to victory in the Battle of Palo Alto and the Battle of Monterrey during the Mexican–American War. As president, Taylor angered many Southerners by taking a moderate stance on the issue of slavery.

  • Early Puritanism in the Southern and Island Colonies
    Early Puritanism in the Southern and Island Colonies BY BABETTE M. LEVY Preface NE of the pleasant by-products of doing research O work is the realization of how generously help has been given when it was needed. The author owes much to many people who proved their interest in this attempt to see America's past a little more clearly. The Institute of Early American History and Culture gave two grants that enabled me to devote a sabbatical leave and a summer to direct searching of colony and church records. Librarians and archivists have been cooperative beyond the call of regular duty. Not a few scholars have read the study in whole or part to give me the benefit of their knowledge and judgment. I must mention among them Professor Josephine W, Bennett of the Hunter College English Department; Miss Madge McLain, formerly of the Hunter College Classics Department; the late Dr. William W. Rockwell, Librarian Emeritus of Union Theological Seminary, whose vast scholarship and his willingness to share it will remain with all who knew him as long as they have memories; Professor Matthew Spinka of the Hartford Theological Sem- inary; and my mother, who did not allow illness to keep her from listening attentively and critically as I read to her chapter after chapter. All students who are interested 7O AMERICAN ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY in problems concerning the early churches along the Atlantic seaboard and the occupants of their pulpits are indebted to the labors of Dr. Frederick Lewis Weis and his invaluable compendiums on the clergymen and parishes of the various colonies.

It was f you are a Mayflower Society member, then that on the Anne that the mother of his lines, Alice Carpenter, claim is certainly half true.

Not all of the wives, current or future, accompanied their husbands but either came later or never made the voyage. There were thirteen women and young girls aboard. Priscilla Mullins is an ex- ample of one who was on the ship with her parents and then married passenger John Alden and another example is Elizabeth Tilley, who married John Howland.

  • CHILDREN on the MAYFLOWER by Ruth Godfrey Donovan
    CHILDREN ON THE MAYFLOWER by Ruth Godfrey Donovan The "Mayflower" sailed from Plymouth, England, September 6, 1620, with 102 people aboard. Among the passengers standing at the rail, waving good-bye to relatives and friends, were at least thirty children. They ranged in age from Samuel Eaton, a babe in arms, to Mary Chilton and Constance Hopkins, fifteen years old. They were brought aboard for different reasons. Some of their parents or guardians were seeking religious freedom. Others were searching for a better life than they had in England or Holland. Some of the children were there as servants. Every one of the youngsters survived the strenuous voyage of three months. As the "Mayflower" made its way across the Atlantic, perhaps they frolicked and played on the decks during clear days. They must have clung to their mothers' skirts during the fierce gales the ship encountered on other days. Some of their names sound odd today. There were eight-year-old Humility Cooper, six-year-old Wrestling Brewster, and nine-year-old Love Brewster. Resolved White was five, while Damans Hopkins was only three. Other names sound more familiar. Among the eight-year- olds were John Cooke and Francis Billington. John Billington, Jr. was six years old as was Joseph Mullins. Richard More was seven years old and Samuel Fuller was four. Mary Allerton, who was destined to outlive all others aboard, was also four. She lived to the age of eighty-three. The Billington boys were the mischief-makers. Evidently weary of the everyday pastimes, Francis and John, Jr.

  • Relations to Presidents and Founding Fathers of the United States, Et Al
    Relations to Presidents and Founding Fathers of the United States, et al. On the following pages, our relationship to various Presidents and Founding Fathers of the United States and other notable persons are outlined. All of the relationships are summarized below, ordered from the closest to the farthest relationship in each section, with the ancestor having the closest relationship listed in parentheses. Entries in bold have a subsequent page (in parentheses) that illustrates the relationship in detail. The distance of the other relationships is so great and well beyond my capacity and ability to prove that they really should not be given more than the passing mention below (at some distance we are all related anyhow). When more than one relationship to the person exists, the closest relationship is listed. Founding Fathers of the United States (0) • Presidents of the United States (4) • (2) Zachary Taylor - maternal 5th cousin 8 times removed (Polly Brewster) • (3) Chester Arthur - maternal 6th cousin 7 times removed (Lucy Sterling) • (4) Franklin D.
