Mayflower Passenger George Soule

The results are in. I have now officially proven relationship to another Mayflower Passenger – George Soule. George Soule and his wife Mary Buckett are my 11X Great Grandparents and we are related to them through the Livermore family. This connection was challenging to prove for one generation as there were no documents that connectedContinue reading “Mayflower Passenger George Soule”

Michael Mead – Revolutionary War Patriot

I have had a Patriot on my list for a couple of years now that I wasn’t able to find all the right proof for to satisfy the Daughters of the American Revolution proof standard. I knew he had to be the right person, but the right document was elusive and there were multiple peopleContinue reading “Michael Mead – Revolutionary War Patriot”

Mayflower Supplementals – Again

These were really easy supplementals to approve, but for some reason I have determined that I want everyone to count when I have my Mayflower Passenger count. This time I added two additional people from the Billington Family and two from the Eaton Family. Earlier I had proven Francis Billington and Francis Eaton. This roundContinue reading “Mayflower Supplementals – Again”

IN THEContinue reading “Happy 400th Thanksgiving”

I just this week received notice that my application to the Mayflower Society on Francis Eaton and Francis Billington was approved, so it was time to write aboutContinue reading “Francis Eaton- Mayflower Passenger”

Francis Billington – Mayflower Passenger

Francis Billington sailed to Plymouth on the Mayflower with his parents John Billington and Elinore. When looking at a graphic from the Mayflower Society showing which pilgrims survived the first winter, it is interesting to see that there are only three families that were still intact after that first winter. The Billington Family, the BrewsterContinue reading “Francis Billington – Mayflower Passenger”

John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley – Mayflower Passengers

Earlier this week I received my notice from the Mayflower Society that an application had been approved for additional Mayflower passengers, so I thought I’d do a couple of quick pieces on the known and proven Mayflower Passenger lines I have. The first one I was able to prove was approved in June of 2020Continue reading “John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley – Mayflower Passengers”
