In the shallow waters of the bay there was plenty of fish, clams, and lobsters. doctor about how you can exercise safely. The summer had been warm, with a good deal of rain and much Lower Body Challenge sunshine; and so when the autumn came there was a fine crop of corn. Stand with your feet spread apart at a comfortable distance. Alternate lifting one knee up and then "Let us gather the fruits of our first labors and rejoice together," said Governor Bradford. the other, 3 times for each knee. Then raise and lower only your right knee, 3 times in a row. After "Yes," said Elder Brewster, "let us take a day upon which we may thank God for all our blessings, and invite to it our your third knee-lift: Plant your feet to the floor, push your hips back, gently bend your knees and sink Indian friends who have been so kind to us." down into a squat. Next, repeat the sequence with your left leg. Alternate knee lifts 3-5 times with each knee, then raise your left knee 3 times in a row. Then, perform the standard squat again. The Pilgrims said that one day was not enough; so they planned to have a celebration for a whole week. This took place most likely in October. Upper Body Challenge The great Indian chief, Massasoit, came with ninety of his bravest warriors, all gayly dressed in deerskins, feathers, and foxtails, with their faces smeared with red, white, and yellow paint. Stand tall with your feet planted to the floor. Slowly lift your right elbow up, then your left and hold As a sign of rank, Massasoit wore round his neck a string of bones and a bag of tobacco. In his belt he carried a long both elbows up. Then, move both elbows down and back up 2 times, finishing with your elbows knife.

Then, move both elbows up and down 2 times and complete the exercise with your elbows lowered. Now there were only eleven buildings in the whole of Plymouth village, four log storehouses and seven little log dwelling -houses; so the Indian guests ate and slept out of doors. This was no matter, for it was one of those warm weeks in the season we call Indian summer. Next: Repeat this sequence with raising your left elbow first. Raise your left elbow up, then your right. To supply meat for the occasion four men had already been sent out to hunt wild turkeys. They killed enough in one day Then, move both elbows down and back up 2 times.

Full-Body Challenge Combo Under the trees were built long, rude tables on which were piled baked clams, broiled fish, roast turkey, and deer meat. The young Pilgrim women helped serve the food to the hungry redskins. Combine both lower body and upper body sequences for the ultimate challenge! Let us remember two of the fair girls who waited on the tables. One was Mary Chilton, who leaped from the boat at Plymouth Rock; the other was Mary Allerton.

  • Girls on the Mayflower
    Girls on the Mayflower http://members.aol.com/calebj/girls.html (out of circulation; see: https://www.prettytough.com/girls-on-the-mayflower/ http://mayflowerhistory.com/girls https://itchyfish.com/oceanus-hopkins-the-child-born-aboard-the-mayflower/ ) While much attention is focused on the men who came on the Mayflower, few people realize and take note that there were eleven girls on board, ranging in ages from less than a year old up to about sixteen or seventeen. William Bradford wrote that one of the Pilgrim's primary concerns was that the "weak bodies" of the women and girls would not be able to handle such a long voyage at sea, and the harsh life involved in establishing a new colony. For this reason, many girls were left behind, to be sent for later after the Colony had been established. Some of the daughters left behind include Fear Brewster (age 14), Mary Warren (10), Anna Warren (8), Sarah Warren (6), Elizabeth Warren (4), Abigail Warren (2), Jane Cooke (8), Hester Cooke (1), Mary Priest (7), Sarah Priest (5), and Elizabeth and Margaret Rogers. As it would turn out however, the girls had the strongest bodies of them all. No girls died on the Mayflower's voyage, but one man and one boy did. And the terrible first winter, twenty-five men (50%) and eight boys (36%) got sick and died, compared to only two girls (16%). So who were these girls? One of them was under the age of one, named Humility Cooper. Her father had died, and her mother was unable to support her; so she was sent with her aunt and uncle on the Mayflower.

  • Notes on Cole's Hill
    NOTES ON COLE’S HILL by Edward R. Belcher Pilgrim Society Note, Series One, Number One, 1954 The designation of Cole‟s Hill as a registered National Historic Landmark by the National Park Service, Department of the Interior, was announced at the Annual Meeting of the Pilgrim Society on December 21, 1961. An official plaque will be placed on Cole‟s Hill. The formal application for this designation, made by the Society, reads in part: "... Fully conscious of the high responsibility to the Nation that goes with the ownership and care of a property classified as ... worthy of Registered National Historic Landmark status ... we agree to preserve... to the best of our ability, the historical integrity of this important part of our national cultural heritage ..." A tablet mounted on the granite post at the top of the steps on Cole‟s Hill bears this inscription: "In memory of James Cole Born London England 1600 Died Plymouth Mass 1692 First settler of Coles Hill 1633 A soldier in Pequot Indian War 1637 This tablet erected by his descendants1917" Cole‟s Hill, rising from the shore near the center of town and overlooking the Rock and the harbor, has occupied a prominent place in the affairs of the community. Here were buried the bodies of those who died during the first years of the settlement. From it could be watched the arrivals and departures of the many fishing and trading boats and the ships that came from time to time. In times of emergency, the Hill was fortified for the protection of the town.

  • Children on the Mayflower
    PILGRIM HALL MUSEUM America’s Oldest Continuous Museum – Located in Historic Plymouth Massachusetts www.pilgrimhallmuseum.org CHILDREN ON THE MAYFLOWER How many children were on the Mayflower? This seems like an easy question but it is hard to answer! Let’s say we wanted to count every passenger on the ship who was 18 years of age or younger. To figure out how old a person was in 1620, when the Mayflower voyage took place, you would need to know their date of birth. In some cases, though, there just isn’t enough information! On this list, we’ve included passengers who were probably or possibly age 18 or less. Some children were traveling with their families. Others came over as servants or apprentices. Still others were wards, or children in the care of guardians. There are 35 young people on the list. Some of them may have been very close to adulthood, like the servant Dorothy (last name unknown), who was married in the early years of Plymouth Colony. The list also includes Will Butten. He was a youth who died during the voyage and never arrived to see land. This list includes very young children and even some babies! Oceanus Hopkins was born during the Mayflower’s voyage across the Atlantic. The baby was given his unusual name as a result. Another boy, Peregrine White, was born aboard the ship while it was anchored at Cape Cod harbor - his name means traveler or “pilgrim.” A good source for more information on Mayflower passengers is Caleb Johnson’s http://mayflowerhistory.com/mayflower- passenger-list.

  • 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.

    FEBRUARY 2015 VOL.#4, ISSUE #1 The Allerton Family Journal The Newsletter of the Pilgrim Isaac Allerton Society Editor: Lisa H. Pennington Governor’s Message: How did your Allerton Mayflower line travel all the way from Plymouth, Massachusetts to your home town? Was finding it a surprise, or was the knowledge passed down through many gener- ations? For some, the journey was just up the road and generation after generation stayed in the New England area. For others, like those descended from Isaac Allerton Jr., the line went south early, to Virginia, while others like mine migrated in droves to Canada in the 1700’s. An outline of my line can be found within. I’m sure my story is familiar. I started tracing my genealogy around 1974, when we depended on writing letters to record offices, libraries and historical societies to research our families. When I began, I barely knew my grandparents’ names; however within a year, I had the line back to the late 1700’s and a library had mentioned that my Waterman ancestor was mentioned in the “Mayflower Index.” Surprise! Let’s here your story! Our Society held its Inaugural Meeting and Banquet on Susan E. Roser September 14 at the GSMD Congress in Plymouth. Our Susan E. Roser, Governor, Susan Roser , presided over the meetings, and it Governor was wonderful to connect with all our cousins from across the hemisphere. Richard Pickering of Plimouth Plantation gave an out- standing performance as Isaac Allerton, complete with cos- tume and East Anglian accent. For more pictures of the event, see pages 6 and 7 of this newsletter.

Pennington Governor’s Message: Dear Allerton Cousins, With Thanksgiving upon us, my thoughts turn to our Allerton family in the fall of 1621, in particular to the children, Bartholo- mew, about 9; Remember, about 7 and little Mary, aged about 5. Did they wonder what there was to be thankful for? In the past year these children had experienced untold difficulties and hard- ships. I can’t imagine what their life was like after their mother’s death in December 1620. I sometimes parallel it with my father’s childhood, after the death of his mother when he was seven, with two younger sisters. A father who could not properly take care of them and who was busy in the community, often doing for themselves and depend- ing on other women for anything resembling a mother’s care. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving, Mayflower Descendants! The children of Plymouth may not have been remarkable in their Let us remember with gratitude all the sacrifices of our ances- time, but for us, looking back at their lives, their strength and tors in coming to this blessed land. courage were extraordinary. And despite their difficulties, I’m sure they were counting their many blessings that first year.
