General Society of Mayflower Descendants

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.

Exploring Plymouth Massachusetts: Plymouth Rock
"Plymouth Rock is a lot more important than the Pilgrims stepping on it in 1620, in fact in 1774 it was one of the most important things that Plymothians used to advance the patriot cause in the Revolutionary War." - Lisa Pennington

Thank you for that short history lesson!
Thank you for your thorough presentation. What treasure this area has been preserved for generations.
That not hopkins
Love that the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America had the vision to build the portico over this important piece of American history.
♥
Hopeing to join soon my self
Love it
I think I am related to Edward dotythe servant of hopkins.
Great presentation. Thank You!
My 11th Great grandfather is Edward Fuller
Thank you Lisa for this tour. We were there in June 2024. I only wish I had this information as we were wandering around town. We did walk down the alley way, Leyden St., Burial Hill, Meeting House. etc. Will have to return to check out #16 Leyden St. for John Howland's house, my ancestor.
Leyden is a lovely town in the Netherlands. So is Delftshaven where the pilgrims had their last cburch service before setting sail - one of my cousins was baptized in that church.
Very well researched and presented. We visited in the 399th year (figured 400 would be too crowded). I wish we'd taken this walk with our grandson - he's 13th from Remember Allerton.
Thank you so much. What a wonderful presentation .
Loved this! Very well done. Thank you!
Great
Wonderful! Thank you for creating and sharing this walk. I'm definitely saving it to use as reference for a (hopefully soon) future visit.
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!)
Kristin, I am descendant of Soule ,Brewster and Bartlett. My Grandfather was William Bartlett Darling ❤
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've been trying to figure it out myself I'm related to 15 of the passengers
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
