Cushing (photo at right). The BOA consists of the of- ficers of the Florida Society, the immediate past governor, the General Society DGG and AG, 3 directors-at-large and the 16 colony governors. Under the Florida Society’s bylaws, the BOA “has general charge of the affairs of the Society.” Present were 10 of the 11 state officers, 1 of the 2 General Society officers, representatives from 13 of the 16 colonies, and 10 of the 13 appointed state committee chairs. The meeting was called to order by Gover- nor Cushing promptly at 9am. Elder Jean Albrecht offered the invocation and Captain Jim Preston led the pledge of allegiance to the US flag and the salute to the Mayflower Society flag. He also read The Mayflower Compact. Governor Cushing an- nounced that Laura Farmer of the Warren Colony had ten- dered her resignation as State Director and that the BOA had voted to appoint George A. Lockhart, also of the Warren Colony, to fill her unexpired term. George was warmly wel- comed to the BOA. Governor Cushing also announced that past FSMD Governor and current AG Robby Burt has re- L to r: Clara Waterman Powell, Nancy Fodi, Ruth Ann Fay, Blythe Thomas signed as AG due to his and his wife Trudy’s imminent (partially obscured), Jean Harden and Fran Lopus stand in respect at the reading of The Mayflower Compact. (continued on pg. 14) 3 FLORIDA SOCIETY CELEBRATES 75th ANNIVERSARY OF ITS CHARTER WITH LIMITED EDITION COMMEMORATIVE COIN The Florida Society was chartered 31 July 1937 as the 28th state society organized under the General Society of Mayflower De- scendants (“GSMD”) and, thus, will observe its 75th birthday this summer. To honor and memorialize this once-in-a-lifetime spe- cial occasion, the Florida Society’s Board of Assistants has commissioned SymbolArts of Ogden, Utah, to mint a limited edition commemorative coin (pictured below). Details for ordering are given below. According to the history published by GSMD in 1999, attempts to organize a state society in Florida began in 1933 but were postponed because of the Great Depression gripping the country at the time. Spearheading the organizing efforts were Mrs. Harold C. R. Wall of Miami, GSMD Secretary General Harold G. Murray, and Edward B. Alling, a member of the Massachusetts Society and President of First State Bank in DeLand. Early in 1937, a solicitation went out to 40 Mayflow- er descendants living in Florida to sign a petition for a state society charter and 24 qualified signatures were obtained. Mrs. Wall declined the honor of being the Actual size: 1 1/2 inch diameter official sponsor, stating it was her firm belief that the sponsor should be a man, so Mr. Alling accepted that role. Mrs. Wall did receive the honor of being as- signed membership number FL #1. The charter was granted 31 July 1937 with 24 charter members, 9 of whom were new members of the General Society and 15 of whom were members of sister state societies.

  • Descendant Report for Warren, Richard
    Descendant Report for Warren, Richard Generation 1 1. Warren, Richard. Richard was born about 1580 in Saint Leonards, England. He died in 1628 in Plymouth, Massachusetts at the age of about 48 years. He married Walker, Elizabeth on Apr 14, 1610 in Great Amwell, Hertfordshire, England. Notes for Warren, Richard http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=ssimonw&id=I1 "Richard Warren is among the most enigmatic of the pioneers who crossed the Atlantic in 1620 in the Mayflower. Clearly a man of rank, he was accorded by Governor William Bradford the prefix "Mr.", pronounced Master, used in those times to distinguish someone because of birth or achievement. From his widow's subsequent land transactions, we can assume that he was among the wealthier of the original Plymouth Settlers." And yet, Wm Bradford did not mention him in his "History of the Plimouth Plantation" except in the List of Passengers. "In 'Mort's Relation', published in 1622, we learn that Warren was chosen, when the Mayflower stopped at Cape Cod before reaching Plymouth, to be a member of a ten-man exploring party, and he was described as being 'of London.' Charles Edward Banks, in 'Ancestry and Homes of the Pilgrim Fathers' tells us: 'Richard Warren came from London and was called a merchand of that city (by Mourt) Extensive research in every avaiavble source of information -- registers, chancery, and probate, in the London courts, proved fruitless in an attempt to identify him.' Although research has continued since Banks, we still cannot find records of Warren's parentage of activities in England." "He was not of the Leyden, Holland, Pilgrims, but joined them in Southampton to sail on the Mayflower, leaving his wife and five daughters to follow in 1623 the "Anne." His two sons were born in Plymouth.

Material is broken into general project information, family research, and town/village research. Administrative Information Access Restrictions: Access to materials may be restricted based on their condition; consult the Archive for more information. Use Restrictions: Use of materials may be restricted based on their condition or copyright status; consult the Archives for more information. Acquisition Information: Plimoth Plantation Related Collections and Resources: TBD Historical Note The English Origins Project was a project undertaken by researchers from Plimoth Plantation in 1984. The project was funded by an NEH Grant. The goal of the project was to gather information from towns and communities in England where the early settlers of Plymouth Colony lived before they migrated to America. The hope was to gather information to help create training manuals for the interpreters at Plimoth Plantation so that they could more accurately portray the early settlers. Plimoth Plantation is a living history museum where the interpreters provide the bulk of the information and knowledge about the 17th century settlement to the guests therefore accurate portrayal is very important. This project greatly improved interpretation and continues to benefit both interpreters and guests of the museum to this day. The research focused on dialect, folklore, material culture, agriculture, architecture, and social history.

  • Historical Materials in the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library
    HISTORICAL MATERIALS IN THE FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY AND MUSEUM NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION April 2011 FOREWORD It seems to me that the dedication of a library is in itself an act of faith. To bring together the records of the past and to house them in buildings where they will be preserved for the use of men and women in the future, a Nation must believe in three things. It must believe in the past. It must believe in the future. It must, above all, believe in the capacity of its own people so to learn from the past that they can gain in judgement in creating their own future. ...This latest addition to the archives of America is dedicated at a moment when government of the people by themselves is being attacked everywhere. It is, therefore, proof - if any proof is needed - that our confidence in the future of democracy has not diminished in this Nation and will not diminish. Franklin D. Roosevelt Remarks at the dedication of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library. June 30, 1941 This is a list of holdings of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library. Included are the President's personal and family papers, papers covering his public career at the state and national level, those of Eleanor Roosevelt, as well as those of many of his associates in public and private life. The Library, a gift to the American people from the President, had its beginnings in 1939 when Franklin Roosevelt turned over to the Government 16 acres of the family estate at Hyde Park.
