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.

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. As you may recall, in the Summer 2009 issue of this newsletter the main I article was about women on the 180 tun* Mayflower. It listed the 26 male passengers with known descendants and their wives. 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.

William Brewster, who came later to America, was for many years postmaster at Scrooby, a little village on the great North road about fifty miles from London. Nowadays a postmaster has mainly to do with letters and parcels and money orders, but three hundred years ago he had to do almost entirely with horses. Letters then posted were mainly governmental correspondence, sent by members of the Court. He did not live in a little house on a side street, but had a grand mansion called Scrooby Manor with a large brick stable and his duty was to supply horses to all travelers who desired to hire them.

OBVlLLE Hu1rn .\1.r.ERTo:--, .Ji:. (:mo.) PREFACE. ·J,la, SAMUEL WATERS ALLERTox, of Chicago, Illinois, in issuing this _revised edition of the "Allerton Family," does not intend to d~tract·from the great credit to be gi-v-en Mr. Walter S. Allerton for his publication of 1888, but simply to add facts which have been found since that time, and to correct errors which almost invariably occurTn Genealogies through incorrect family records thought to be true when published, but afterward found otherwise. In the preface to the edition of 1888 Mr. Walter S. Allerton says, in part: Pride of ancestry is common to all ages and all peoples, and it is an entirely proper and justifiable sentiment. We know that man, like other animals, possesses the power to transmit to his offspring the mental and physical characteristics that have been most prominent in himself. Students of social science tell us that the·children of crim­ inals are apt to pro,e criminals themselves, and other things being equal, the man who can trace his descent through a dozen generations of honest men is for that very reason more _likely to prove himself an honest man.
