THE BRIDGE Governor William Bradford Colony Florida Society of Mayflower Descendants THE BRIDGE Governor William Bradford Colony Florida Society of Mayflower Descendants Volume 19, Issue 2 Fall 2020 Governor’s Message What a different world we live in since our last newsletter! Had nothing changed, we would be preparing for our normally scheduled Bradford Colony November meeting. At the end of November, Bradford Colony would have been hosting the 83rd Annual Meeting of the Florida Society of Mayflower Descendants of Florida. We had spent a great deal of time putting a wonderful plan in place. From contracting with a beautiful venue, hiring an engaging Wompanonoag Indian speaker, and planning a delicious menu, we had it covered! Thank you to all our Board Members for their hard work including Jeff Berg for having a commemorative pin designed, Robbie Robinson for planning the goody bags, Bob Rogers for collecting give-a-ways, and Terri McGoldrick for leading the drive for raffle items. Also a special thank you goes to Shirley Smith for volunteering to decorate the tables with a unique “First Thanksgiving” theme. Had we actually held the meeting, there were plans to recruit many more of you to help on the day of the event! Bradford Colony officers serve three year terms, with the most recent term ending in 2020. Normally, we would have inducted our new officers at the November meeting. This year, we have had to improvise, conducting our business by email. The slate of officers was sent out in a September email, asking for comments and approval. The Officers for the next term are listed herein. With respect to future meetings, we have been optimistic in reserving the following meeting dates with the St. Petersburg Yacht Club: February 6, May 1, and November 6, 2021. However, it is unclear if it will be feasible to gather on these dates or if our group will feel comfortable with meeting in person. We will keep monitoring the situation and stay in touch as things develop. Dues notices for 2021 will be sent out in January.

  • William Bradford's Life and Influence Have Been Chronicled by Many. As the Co-Author of Mourt's Relation, the Author of of Plymo
    William Bradford's life and influence have been chronicled by many. As the co-author of Mourt's Relation, the author of Of Plymouth Plantation, and the long-term governor of Plymouth Colony, his documented activities are vast in scope. The success of the Plymouth Colony is largely due to his remarkable ability to manage men and affairs. The information presented here will not attempt to recreate all of his activities. Instead, we will present: a portion of the biography of William Bradford written by Cotton Mather and originally published in 1702, a further reading list, selected texts which may not be usually found in other publications, and information about items related to William Bradford which may be found in Pilgrim Hall Museum. Cotton Mather's Life of William Bradford (originally published 1702) "Among those devout people was our William Bradford, who was born Anno 1588 in an obscure village called Ansterfield... he had a comfortable inheritance left him of his honest parents, who died while he was yet a child, and cast him on the education, first of his grand parents, and then of his uncles, who devoted him, like his ancestors, unto the affairs of husbandry. Soon a long sickness kept him, as he would afterwards thankfully say, from the vanities of youth, and made him the fitter for what he was afterwards to undergo. When he was about a dozen years old, the reading of the Scripture began to cause great impressions upon him; and those impressions were much assisted and improved, when he came to enjoy Mr.

  • 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.

  • Some Descendants and Ancestors of John and Sarah (Davis) Washburn of Switzerland County, Indiana
    Some Descendants and Ancestors of John and Sarah (Davis) Washburn of Switzerland County, Indiana compiled by H Edgar Hill May 2020 Table Of Contents Descendants of John Washburn 1 Ahnentafel Report for Sarah Ann Davis 15 Ahnentafel Report for John Washburn 17 Index 51 iii Descendants of John Washburn Generation 1 1. JOHN1 WASHBURN was born between 1795-1804. He died about 1840. He married (1) SALLY M. BELL (daughter of Armiger Bell and Sarah Blackford) on 01 Mar 1819 in Switzerland Co., Indiana. She was born on 28 Mar 1800 in Versailles, Woodford Co., Kentucky. She died on 01 Mar 1819. He married (2) SARAH ANN DAVIS (daughter of Samuel Davis and Elizabeth Dixon) on 14 Mar 1833 in Switzerland Co., Indiana. She was born about 1818 in Ohio. Notes for John Washburn: Based on the will of his father-in-law and the1840 census, John died probably late 1839 or early 1840. John and his second wife Sarah Davis had only two children: Samuel and John. John, Sr, was alive in May 1839 because he was mentioned in the settlement of his father-in-law's estate. Sarah is listed without a husband in the 1840 census. Presumably John died sometime between May 1839 and mid-1840 when the census was taken. There is a John Washburn in Switzerland County, Indiana in the 1820 census. This John Washburn married Sarah Bell in 1819. This John Washburn appears to be the same John Washburn who married Sarah Davis in 1833. Benton P. Washburne in his book The Washburn Family in America has John, the son of Jeremiah, married to Sarah Naylor.

  • Francis Cooke of the Mayflower
    FRANCIS COOKE OF THE MAYFLOWER Among those on board the ship Mayflower when it finally arrived in New England in November, 1620 was Pilgrim Francis Cooke. Francis was born in England about 1583. He was married in Leyden, Holland on 20 July 1603 to Hester Mahieu. In February 1609, members of Pastor John Robinson’s English Separatist church came to Leiden. The Cookes did not then become members, but did join the Leiden congregation sometime later, after their daughter Elizabeth was baptized on December 26, 1611. When the English Separatist church in Leiden decided to go to America in 1620, only Francis and his thirteen year–old son John would go. Cooke’s wife and children came over on the ship Anne in July 1623. Francis was a wool comber, involved in the making of cloth. He had become an upstanding member of the community. He served on the committee to lay out twenty-acre grants as well as on the committee to lay out highways. He was an arbitrator in a land dispute. He served on the Plymouth Petit jury several times, served on the coroner’s jury, and was a surveyor of Highways. On December 7, 1659 Francis Cooke made out his will, describing himself as “at present weak and infirm in body.” He had a very simple will that just gave everything to “Hester my dear and loving wife.” Francis died at Plymouth on 7 April 1663. Hester died after 8 June 1666. Children of Francis and Hester (Mahieu) Brown: 1. Jane 2. John 3. Child (buried in Leiden 20 May 1608) 4.

  • Our Mayflower Ancestors
    Chapter 20 Our Mayflower Ancestors This narrative is about how the Quincy Oakleys are descended from Francis Cooke, a Pilgrim who came to America (the “New World”) on the Mayflower in 1620. By means of background, the Mayflower was the ship that transported English Separatists, known today as the Pilgrims, from Plymouth, England, to the New World. There were 102 passengers, and the crew is estimated to have been about thirty. This voyage has become an iconic story in some of the earliest annals of American history, with its story of survival (and death) in the harsh New England winter environment. In fact, by the end of the first winter, only fifty-three passengers, just over half of those who sailed from England, were still alive. The voyage culminated in the signing of the Mayflower Compact, which was an event which established a rudimentary form of democracy, with each member contributing to the welfare of the community. Today, tens of millions of Americans have at least one ancestor who was among this group of early settlers. There were twenty-nine adult Mayflower passengers currently known to have descendants. And, of course, the Quincy Oakleys are Mayflower descendants. In this narrative, I’ll trace our family roots to the Mayflower. Well, actually I’ll start with our Mayflower ancestors and work my way through their descendants to our current family. And I’ll finish with some information about our distant cousins who also can trace their roots to our common ancestor who sailed on the Mayflower. But first a bit of background about the Pilgrims.
