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.

Earlier I had posted on John Howland and his exciting adventure on the Mayflower.

Family Members in Daughters of the American Revolution
I’ve finally done it. I have convinced both my mother and my mother-in-law to submit applications to join the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Happy 400th Thanksgiving
After attending the annual meeting of the Illinois Mayflower Society last weekend and listening to some of my favorite podcasts talk about the sailing of the Mayflower and their first Thanksgiving 400 years ago in 1621 I thought I’d do a quick post on our known Mayflower ancestors, starting with the Mayflower Compact. IN THEContinue reading “Happy 400th Thanksgiving”
