Sue Allan Is The Pennsylvania Mayflower Society of Mayflower Descendants in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania SMDPA Governor: Scotti Sawyer-Kershner www.SAIL1620.org Volume: XXVI, No. 2 [email protected] Editor: Debra G Miller Co Editor: Joan Miller Summer 2014 Sue Allan is SMDPA 2014 Scholar of the Year This Distinguished Achievement Award will be presented to Sue Allan, on August 23, 2014, at the Doubletree Hilton in Lancaster, ur Society’s, “Katharine F. Little Pennsylvania. Distinguished Mayflower Scholarship Award” for 2014, goes to our dear friend and neighbor Sue Allan’s Story: “I became interested in the across the Mayflower Pilgrims story relatively late in life Atlantic in when in the summer of 2002, at the age of 47, I England, Sue unexpectedly found myself moving to Allan. The Lincolnshire. Within weeks I then discovered national Gainsborough Old Hall just a few miles away and award is learned that a Separatist congregation was once given to those sheltered there. I had not heard of the individuals Separatists before nor had I been taught about who are not the Mayflower Pilgrims in school. I was members of immediately intrigued. But more than this, I the State somehow felt strangely ‘connected’ to both them Society in and matriarch of the family who had protected recognition them at Gainsborough Old Hall – Lady Rose of their Hickman. Lady Rose would soon feature in my meritorious work in enhancing understanding of first novel, ‘Mayflower Maid’ which I began to the Pilgrims and the Pilgrims’ contributions to write one year later. (I had never been an author American life, in particular, Sue’s continuing research at "Scrooby Manor" surpasses beyond before). In the meantime I had found myself words of gratitude for her efforts and devouring anything and everything that I could accomplishments. read about the Old Hall, the Separatists and the Mayflower. Continued Page 2 1 Continued From Page 1 During that time I had also come to realize how little even local people knew about this momentous story, much of which had played out in this part of England. The main stream story of the ‘Mayflower Maid’ was quite simply my response to that and was never intended as a purely ‘commercial venture’. I had instead envisaged this hard-hitting tale as acting as a ‘hook’ with which to draw local people towards visiting the Old Hall and into learning more about the Mayflower Pilgrims. Over the coming years I quickly became involved across the county border from Lincolnshire into Nottinghamshire. Firstly with the formation of the Pilgrim Father’s (UK) Origins Association with its primary aim of promoting and perpetuating the story of the Mayflower Pilgrims in the area from which many of them came. By that time I had also begun guiding visitors around the Mayflower Trail but was sadly unable to get onto the Scrooby Manor site itself which was private property. Neither had I been able to answer questions about the existing building such as what was it exactly or if indeed William Brewster had ever actually lived in it. This was not through my own ignorance but simply because the accepted experts simply did not seem to know. And the fact that I could not answer those questions for visiting descendants and witnessed their subsequent look of disappointment it bothered me deeply. How could we not know? I asked myself? In 2009 at a book signing of my latest novel ‘Tudor Rose’ (about Lady Rose Hickman) I came face to face with a new fan, Julie Dunstan, who with husband, David, owns Scrooby Manor. In that instant we became the best of friends. Encouraged and aided by Julie Dunstan, and in the wake of having had cancer, in 2012 I decided to focus my attention into marshalling all of my own research on Scrooby Manor together in one place in the hope of being able to answer these questions. Also thanks to the generosity of the Dunstan’s I now had unlimited access to Scrooby Manor and its outbuildings. I am delighted to say that the result was my book ‘In Search of Scrooby Manor’. “ August 23, 2014, Sue Allan will be giving a riveting presentation about Scrooby Manor and her incredible journey with Julie Dunstan to try and unlock the secrets of Scrooby Manor. Sue will talk about how she trawled through archives in order to piece together tiny scraps of information and countless documents in order to build upon an idea of what the lost part of Scrooby Manor was once like and the highs and lows encountered during that process. Sue will include a power point of photographs taken inside the Manor itself, of the Chapel, the music room, and places people rarely get to see. 2 August 24, 2014, Reservation Form is at the end of the newsletter.

  • 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.

    VOLUME 32 Issue 2 – Summer 2019 Evergreen Log Editor - Cousin Barb Doughty Maghirang washingtonmayflower.org THE NEWSLETTER OF THE SOCIETY OF MAYFLOWER DESCENDANTS IN WASHINGTON STATE Women of the Mayflower When the ship arrived in Cape Cod, the men went to shore - spending two months trying to find a suitable place to settle before building storehouses and creating the beginnings of Plymouth. The women stayed on the Mayflower to care for the sick and the young - in damp, crowded and filthy conditions, which meant many would die before they were able to step foot on land. Just five women would make it through that first, harsh winter. Here, we take a closer look at some of the women who boarded the Mayflower, and their origins in England. ©2019 Barb Doughty Maghirang Pilgrim Memorial State Park Susanna White-Winslow Fountain to the Pilgrim of the Mayflower - Est. 1920 DAR Susanna gave birth to Peregrine while the ship was By Sue Allen, The Mayflower Maid anchored in Cape Cod in late November 1620 (she also There are precious few records of the women who travelled with a five-year-old son called Resolved as boarded the Mayflower, but their strength and role well.)
