  • THE COURT HOUSES of PLYMOUTH by Rose T
    THE COURT HOUSES OF PLYMOUTH by Rose T. Briggs Pilgrim Society Note, Series One, Number 17, May 1966 Plymouth, the county seat of Plymouth County, was also the capital town of Plymouth Colony, and thus has a judicial history which antedates the establishment of Plymouth County in 1685, and goes back to the founding of Plymouth Colony in 1620. Plymouth Colony had a well established judicial system before 1685. The first entry in its Book of Laws, dated December 27, 1623, provided that: all crimynall facts; and also all maters of trespass; and debts between man & man should be tried by the verdict of twelve honest men, to be impaneled by Authoryty in the forme of a jurie upon their oaths. The entry is in the handwriting of Governor Bradford. Before 1623, trials had taken place before the whole body of freemen, sitting as a General Court, the Governor and Assistants presiding. This General Court elected officers, passed ordinances, and took what judicial action was necessary. Its first recorded meeting was in the spring of 1621. The meeting was held in the Common House, the site of which, at the foot of Leyden Street, is marked with a tablet by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. When the Fort was built on Burial Hill in 1622, the lower chamber was used as a meeting place, not only for Sunday services, but for Colony business, which presumably included the meetings of the General Court. In 1637, a Meeting House, for both religious and secular meetings, was built on the north side of what is now Town Square.

  • 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.

It was with the help of a Native American they knew as Squanto that they learned to properly cultivate the land so that they could survive and flourish. All of that might seem quite removed from your own gardening endeavors, however there is much to be learned from those historical lessons. What was the soil like then? How did the soil affect the food being grown? What techniques were used to enrich the soil? Why is it that the Pilgrims, being from a more technologically advanced society, needed the help of the Native Americans to survive? Whether you are an experienced gardener, or just starting out, “Squanto’s Garden” has plenty to teach you.

  • Mayflower Descendant
    30 Mayflower Descendant Title page of Robert Cushman’s book, The Cry of a Stone, published posthumously in 1642. Courtesy of the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library, University of California, Los Angeles. Volume 60, Issue 1 (Spring 2011) 31 PILGRIM ROBERT CUSHMAN‟S BOOK, THE CRY OF A STONE By Michael R. Paulick About 1619, Robert Cushman, then the Pilgrims‟ agent in London for the Mayflower voyage, wrote a sixty-three page book entitled The Cry of a Stone. This is one of the few books written by a member of the Leiden Pilgrim congregation that described their Church in detail. Although The Cry of a Stone was not printed until 1642, about seventeen years after Cushman‟s death, it probably was read by others in manuscript form during his lifetime. William Bradford, prominent Pilgrim and author of the well known Of Plymouth Plantation, deliberately omitted describing many of the Leiden events. He wrote “But seeing it is not my purpose to treat of the several passages that befell this people whilst they thus lived in the Low Countries (which might worthily require a large treatise of itself)…”[1] Therefore, Cushman‟s book provides a unique first-hand account of the Leiden years. The Cry of a Stone includes a description of Cushman‟s ideal visible Church and his religious beliefs. For example, Cushman viewed his membership of the Pilgrim Church as “the neerest fellowship that the Saints can have in this world, and most resembleth heaven.”[2] Accordingly, The Cry of a Stone, discovered by historian and author Stephen Foster in 1977,[3] deserves additional study by Pilgrim scholars and those interested in Mayflower Pilgrim history.

    , ; REPl\ODUCED AT THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE A DDRESS ONLY WASHINGTON THE DIRECTOR. NATIONA L PARK SERVICE -December 8, 1939. • Memorandum for Mr. Ben Thompson: In accordance with your telephonic request of December 5, the following r eport on the firs t Thanksgiving Day in the United States is submitted: That the Pilgrims at Plymouth had a Thanksgiving festival in the fall of 1621 and that it set a pr ecedent for Thanksgiving as a national institution are established facts. However, to identify t he exact site and date of that first Thanksgiving from available evidence seems impos­ sible . William Bradford and Edward Winslow, prominent figures at that affair, both give accounts of it. Neither, though, is specific as to the exact scene or date of the activities. The official records of the colony contain no reference t o t he occasion, nor do the church records for the same period.1 Fr om research, however, it can safely be assumed: 1. That the Pilgrim Thanksgiving was between September 23 and November 9, 1621. Probably it was l a te in October.2 2. ~hat most of the attendant festivities took place on or near the top of the hill at the end of Leyden Street (then the onl y street) in the place that came to be known as Tovm Square.3 1.

  • The Plymouth Colony Archaeological Survey David B
    SPRING 2016 13 Revisiting the Archaeology of the Pilgrims: The Plymouth Colony Archaeological Survey David B. Landon and Christa M. Beranek Introduction The approaching 400th anniversary (1620-2020) of the found- ing of Plymouth Colony, New England’s first permanent English settle- ment, provides a unique opportunity to revisit our scholarly understanding of the Colony’s history. As part of this effort the Andrew Fiske Memorial Center for Archaeological Research and Department of Anthropology at the University of Massachusetts Boston have launched a broad scale project to reassess the past archaeology of the Plymouth Colony and un- dertake new excavations at additional sites. Working with community partners and descendant organizations, including the Town of Plymouth, Plimoth Plantation, the General Society of Mayflower Descendants, the Plymouth Antiquarian Society, and Pilgrim Hall Museum, we are undertak- ing a series of initiatives focused on the Plymouth Colony to help advance a complex, inclusive, and scholarly understanding of the region’s Colonial and Native American communities. Here we consider some of the con- tributions archaeological research has made to our understanding of the Pilgrims, set out some major questions that remain to be addressed, and describe the progress of our recent collections research and excavation projects. One of the central goals is to undertake a systematic search in the downtown area of the Town of Plymouth for any preserved remains of the original 17th-century settlement. Despite work by James Deetz and oth- ers in downtown Plymouth, no remains of the original settlement have yet been discovered, and this remains a major challenge for our future work.
