We were supposed to be planning for a great Annual Meeting with an election and installation of officers, officiated by the Secretary General, Jane Groves Riddle Hurt. We were also looking forward to the 400th Anniversary of the Pilgrims landing at Plymouth. So much for plans. Time to turn lemons into Lemonade. You may notice a few extras in this issue, including contributions about children, animals, pilgrim clothing, and yes, laundry. As I asked last fall, and will repeat again, “Do you have an untold story, anecdote, or quote about your con- nection with the Mayflower? We can use it here, so please send it to your editor.” Greg Cooke, Secretary and Editor [email protected] FROM THE HISTORIAN TRANSFERS TO ARIZONA NAME AZ# GSMD# ANCESTOR Sheila Asala 1440 87281 Stephen Hopkins PAGE 4 SPRING 2020 NEW MEMBERS (SINCE FALL 2019) New Member AZ # GSMD# Passenger Ancestor Thomas Russell Drummond 1435 96098 John Alden Leslie Eugene Johnson 1436 96099 Myles Standish Jack Robert Phillips 1437 96230 Francis Cooke Charlotte Christine Carl-Mitchell 1438 96256 Isaac Allerton Carolyn Ann Clement 1439 96257 William Brewster Virginia Lee Hargett 1441 96392 Richard Warren Ronald Roger Cade 1442 96409 John Howland Charles Lee Kraus 1443 96410 Edward Fuller Bruce Elliott Covill 1444 96446 Stephen Hopkins Michael John Bastiaan de Blank 1445 96461 Edward Fuller Peter Matthew Kennedy de Blank 1446 96462 Edward Fuller Jennifer Gabriel Brophy Soden 1447 96463 Edward Fuller Jared Gordon Parker 1448 96559 William Brewster Lily Parker 1449 96560 William Brewster Millington H.

Few of those stories bore her name and, in producing them, she apparently seemed to follow Henry James’s patronizing advice to abandon “the ideal descriptive style” and “study the canon of the so-called realist school,” because “the public taste [had] changed” (James, “rev. of Harriet Prescott Spofford,” 269, 272).

  • Am AMERICAN HERITAGE
    AMERICANAm HERITAGE DAY DEAR PARENTS, Each year the elementary school students at Valley Christian Academy prepare a speech depicting the life of a great American man or woman. The speech is written in the first person and should include the character’s birth, death, and major accomplishments. Parents should feel free to help their children write these speeches. A good way to write the speech is to find a child’s biography and follow the story line as you construct the speech. This will make for a more interesting speech rather than a mere recitation of facts from the encyclopedia. Students will be awarded extra points for including spiritual application in their speeches. Please adhere to the following time limits. K-1 Speeches must be 1-3 minutes in length with a minimum of 175 words. 2-3 Speeches must be 2-5 minutes in length with a minimum of 350 words. 4-6 Speeches must be 3-10 minutes in length with a minimum of 525 words. Students will give their speeches in class. They should be sure to have their speeches memorized well enough so they do not need any prompts. Please be aware that students who need frequent prompting will receive a low grade. Also, any student with a speech that doesn’t meet the minimum requirement will receive a “D” or “F.” Students must portray a different character each year. One of the goals of this assignment is to help our children learn about different men and women who have made America great. Help your child choose characters from whom they can learn much, and look for spiritual applications that can be learned from the person’s life.

  • The Jabez Howland House: a Time Line Throughout History Also Known As Caughtaugh-Canteist, Strawberry Hill, the Garden Spot, Carver House and Watson’S Hill
    The Jabez Howland House: A Time Line Throughout history also known as Caughtaugh-canteist, Strawberry Hill, The Garden Spot, Carver House and Watson’s Hill 1665/7 Jacob Mitchell granted a deed for land and builds a house; he married in 1666. 1669 Jacob received a deed of gift from his father, Experience Mitchell, for land in Dartmouth on November 5, 1669, and sold the house and land to Jabez Howland, son of John and Elizabeth Howland. 1680 (Jan. 10) Jabez Howland sells the house to Elkanah Watson (Plymouth Registry of Deeds, Old Colony Records, V. 4, pg. 393) “.........house and land called by the name Garden Spot.......” Also of note: At the end of the deed after Jabez Howland’s signature: “Elizabeth Howland senior yielded up her free right also in the house and land men- tioned..” followed by: “Bethyah Howland wife of Jabez Howland above mentioned gave her free consent to this deed the 15th of January 1680 before mee William Bradford Assistant.” This shows our ancestress Elizabeth Tilley Howland had an interest in the house and lived there. The Howland Quarterly lists the following ownership, but does not list the sources: (Editor’s Note – Since at times only portions of the lot were sold, it seems like there are discrepancies when there really aren’t; other sources include John Howland, A Mayflower Pilgrim, 1926; Descendants of Edward Small of New England, 1910) 1680 Jabez Howland moved to Bristol, RI, sold to Elkanah Watson, who sold to his son John Watson, who sold to Stephen Churchill in 1707.
