General Society of Mayflower Descendants
Добавлен 12 сен 2014
Celebrating the Pilgrim Spirit
More than one hundred years ago, a group of descendants of the Pilgrims who sailed on the Mayflower in 1620, saw the need for a national society to honor their memory. The intention was to remember these Pilgrims who established Plymouth Colony.
Today there are tens-of-millions of individuals descended from these brave souls. It is the goal of The Mayflower Society to join together people who share this heritage and to carry on the memory of our Pilgrim ancestors.
General Society Mayflower Descendants
(Founded 1897)
Anyone who arrived in Plymouth as a passenger on the Mayflower is considered a Pilgrim, with no distinction being made on the basis of their original purposes for making the voyage. Proven lineage from a passenger, approved by a Historian General, qualifies one to be a member of the General Society of Mayflower Descendants.

Governor General Jane Hurt Welcome Message
He's my 12th great grandfather via his daughter Patience. Thanks for the great insights.
So, here's my line George Soule, John Soule, Rebecca Soule Weston, Rebecca Weston Darling, Benjamin Darling, Lydia Darling Torrey, Benjamin Darling Torrey, Janet Torrey Tribou, Laura Jannette Tribou Morse, Jessie Morse Flaherty, Doris E. Flaherty Allen, George Alfred Allen Jr., Kristina Louise Allen-Sakowich. (That's me!)
A map would help.
I made this for a work picnic today and it turned out great. Perfect heat wave dish.
How did the Pilgrims keep their olive oil? In ceramic jugs? Where did the Pilgrims learn about using olive oil, Leyden or in England? Thank you, John
Hi John. The Pilgrims could have used ceramic jugs, or glass bottles to store things like oil, vinegar, etc. Olive oil was used both in England and the Netherlands at the time.
Me too. 1650. My home town was settled in 1675 and is just into Rhode Island on the coast. The last of the colonies. I would follow the herring from Tunapis pond across Goose Wing road and watch them spawn way up until the creek ran dry.
I found out that I am an 11th generation descendant of the Chilton family.
Hi how do I join the Society I am related to Thomas and Robert Cushman also Mary Allerton
I am an Australian descendant of the Rev Thomas Blossom, who was a friend of Pastor Robinson. They were both graduates of Corpus Christi College Cambridge and both resided in Leiden Holland, before Blossom and family left on the Mayflower II. He died soon after from fever. He had older children in England, from whom our family are descended through Richard Thomas, whose mother was Hannah Blossom. Her brother, also called Thomas Blossom, was a Missionary in Tahiti. I recently published The Pilgrim's Progress to Victory on Amazon, by Kay Thomas PhD.
Today I discovered I have 5 direct Mayflower passengers in my line. Still in Massachusetts, too.
Now ELEVEN. Y'all told me!
Just found out that he is my 12th Great Grandfather through his son Jonathan. My daughter and I are very interested in any information that could help with our journey in genealogy.
Omg William Drew? My Ancestor!
I need to contact them
Richard Warren and wife Elizabeth Walker are my direct ancestors. I never knew until years of research led my to Robert Bartlett and wife Mary Warren
William is my 12th great grandfather, Jonathan is my 11th.
Not so sure that “cooking like a pilgrim” included an electric food processor, or a refrigerator, but it’s fun!
The Pilgrims obviously did not have access to the electronic cooking tools we use today, so everything was crushed and blended by hand. This is just a modern, faster adaptation.
@@mayflowersociety Oh, I know. I’m just kidding! A very tall hat off to you for producing these great snippets of 17th Century life. I do apprecaite it.
Lisa is a personable speaker who is also a great Mayflower historian. I saw another presentation she gave which highlighted the importance of the Pilgrims through the three important friendships between the Native Americans that helped them survive and thrive and the lasting legacy of the early Pilgrim leaders.
Is this restoration project finished, now? I would love to visit Plymouth and see the final project, as well all of the historical sights of the area.
This is quite fun. I’ve been tracing the genealogy of the backwoods “real Vermonter” side of the family. I’ve always thought we were more akin to 1972 Plymouth Dusters than 1492 Plymouth Rocks. Just last week, however, I discovered we had ancestors (Cooke and the Billingtons) who came across on the Mayflower, with several more following in the Great Migration. So, I’m strapping on my buckled shoes and tall black hat and learning about the Pilgrims and the Puritans. Thank you for this channel!
'General Society of Mayflower Descendants' You're not speaking Spanish yet? wow lol maybe you guys should go get some spanish lessons 200 years is a hell of a long time to desperately cling onto someone else's language i cant believe you guys still speak the language of tyranny and oppression lmao didnt da kaang oppress you all? and then you rose up and kicked da kang back to europes, but you still speak english? bizarre really anyway, adios
Thanks, this video was informative, moving, and fun! I am sharing it with family and friends.
Great presentation; very knowledgeable presenter! Many thanks for these obscure facts.
Poor Billington!
He murdered someone.
The pilgrims gave approximately 35 million people life.
This is very interesting information . Thank you passing on.
I am thankful to have this Godly Heritage.
Beautiful presentation 👏 👌 ❤
My 12th great grandparents are William and Mary Brewster ❤️
WB was fined 20 Pounds. You can look up the purchasing power of that at nationalarchives.gov.uk/currency-converter/#currency-result
I loved spending time walking the streets -Where the pilgrims walked (I could picture my there) and went on tour of the cemetery at night - So cool learning all about the pilgrims.
I had nine direct ancestors on the Mayflower. An uncle, aunt, and cousin did not survive the first winter. Amazingly strong folks to take on such a challenge
I say,its perfect
William Brewster is my 12th GG grandfather his and Mary's daughter Patience ❤️ is my 11th GGgrandmother,
How do I become part of the S. Of the Mayflower. My so far down the line was my grandmother of the daughter of Myles Standish ( Lucy). One of my cousin is part of it but,he wasn't sure where he got the paperwork from. Told me maybe come across something about the house and ask
Descendant of Tilley, Howland, Hopkins, Alden, Mullins and Cooke.
I'm a great great etc granddaughter of Constance Hopkins Snow
I'm a descendant through my maternal line. My grandmother's mother's lineage. I found it on my family tree online. It explains a lot. My grandfather was a minister. Thank you for this.
My sons are descendants of the Aldens, Priscilla and John on their fathers side. My eldest son is now part of the "Mayflower" society, since his. Gran has passed away.. She was a kind and loving woman..
I have Mayflower descendants John Hopkins,Katherine Wheldon came over on the Mayflower.They had a son Childress…..singer Alveril Leveign is said to be a John Hopkins descendant.I have Wing Ancestory,Wings have a Fort in Sandwich Mass.They were ship builders for the Pilgrims.
Yes. All those common people now had the opportunity to act like the royals we broke from. From humble to ostentatious… History repeats itself.
Sir Edward Winslow is my descendent and our family still in Plymouth Colony.
Wow, distant cousins! I also am decended from him.
Such a scam. I literally sent my family records, spent a fortune and was defined. For gods sake, my great grandfather was a SUPREME court justice and the state recognizes his mayflower family.
Congratulations Lisa! I am proud of our separatist ancestors who came to America all those years ago
My husband’s mother was several generations removed from John Alden. He had so many offspring! So my kids are eligible. Not that they care.
Thank You for this Presentation. I enjoyed it immensely. I am a Brewster Descendent from William and Mary Brewster of the Mayflower. William Brewster had a Prophecy: In our Heaviest Trials have not the Divine Presence ever been with us?... "Generations to come shall look back to this Hour, and these scenes of agonizing Trial... and say: Here was our beginning as a people. These were our Fathers through their trials we inherit our Blessings." Ironically, it was Abraham Lincoln one of our Greatest Presidents, that set aside Thanksgiving Day as a day to remember our Beginnings. some 220 years later.
My DNA shows I am a descendant of Stephen Hopkins. My great grandfather was Charles Hopkins ❤
12th grandfather.
❤😊
Elder William Brewster is my late 12th Great Grandfather, his son Jonathan Brewster is my 11th Great Grandfather. I'm wishing to learn all that I can about the history of all of my Ancestors. Thank you for this wonderful video.
We are connected to Richard Warren on my fathers mother’s side who was a Brainerd.
