Morning All Mendonites, Joan so happy to hear you have found so much help and new lines on our Mendon List. Hope all are getting a Bingo or two also. I want to welcome the new members from the Pratt/Powers CC group. NO! Joan, not your Pratt line. However, they do have links to this area. Don't be shy, send us your research names, and see if you can find a new Cuz. :) WE also have many members of the COOK CC group amongst us.. Time for all to send in their research names, again. Yes, we have proved our Howland line so that Joan can now complete the application for Howland Mayflower Association. This Line goes back from our Phebe Scott w/m Benjamin Pickering. (our Gr. Gr Gandmother ) Are there any other Pickering/Scott related here?? This Scott line is an old Bellingham Family and our line settled in the now Blackstone , Ma. Thanks Joan for the Freeman info, also ..(who also settled in Bellngham and Mendon areas. ) You all have a nice day, Alice =========== >I'm so happy to have found this line and so fortunate to be a part of a >great sharing family. > >While visiting with cousin Alice a few weeks ago we tied up some loose >ends with documenting our connection to Pilgrim John Howland.
