Hi everyone, I posted to this site earlier. I listed some of my families decedents that came over on the Mayflower. I have sense found another. These are the names: 1.Bradford 2. Eaton 3. Whetherel and the two others are: 4. Brewster 5. Hopkins In fact one of my great Aunts lives in one of the original Eaton homes in Bridgewater, Massachusetts. It certainly looks original. Does anyone have any information on the Whetherel (sp) family line? Some of the families listed above and I think there may be others descend from both sides of my family, well actually I should say both sides of my fathers family, which include the Griswold's, Denison's, Wolcott's, McIntosh, Hyde, Stanton's and lastly the Perkins family. does anyone else have any links to the Mayflower decedents through these families? Tim

Hi, I just joined the list. Our family has at least three links to individuals who came over on the Mayflower, the Brewster's, Eaton's and Whetherll. I think I spelled the last name correctly. I will have to get a copy of the Patriot Ledger. I live in Boston. Does anyone know the Whetherll line? Tim

I have just seen a newsletter from a church which states that the Pilgrims "stole" the seed corn from the Native Americans and never thanked them for it. I know this is off-topic, but things like that bother me, and I don't know any sources with which to refute statements like these. Can someone recommend a history of the colony, or would Wm. Bradford's account be the best? Thanks. Mildred Mallek (Bradford descendant)

Bradford's account does say that Captain Standish led the first expedition onto the cape on Nov. 15. "Afterwards they directed their course to come to the other shore, for they knew it was a neck of land they were to cross over, and so at length got to the seaside and marched to this supposed river, and bu the way found a found of clear, fresh water, and shortly after a good quantity of clear ground where the Indians had formerly set corn and some of their graves. And proceeding furthe they saw new stubble where cord had been set the same year; also they found where lately a house had been, where some planks and a great kettle was remaining and heaps of sand newly paddled with their hands. Which, they digging up, found in them divers fair Indian baskets filled with corn, and some in ears, fair and good, of divers colours, which seemed to them a goodly sight (having never seen any such before). This was near the place of that supposed river they came to seek, unto which they went and found it to oopen itself into two arms with a high cliff of sand in the entrance but more like to be creeks of salt water than any fresh for aught they saw; and that there was good harborage for their shallop, when she was ready. So their time limited them being expired, they returned to the ship lest they should be in fear of their safety; and took with them part of the corn and buried up the rest. And so. like the men from Eshcol, carried with them the fruits of the land and showed their brethren; of which, and their return, they were marvelously glad and their hearts encouraged." The next expedition they also took some corn and beans from some indian houses whose inhabitants "were run away and could not be seen". "And here is to be noted a special providence of God, and a great mercy to this poor people, that here they got seed to plant them corn the next year, or else they might have starved, for they had none nor any likelihood to gen any till the season had been past, as the sequel did manifest. Neither is it likely they had had this, if the first voyage had not been made, for the ground was now all covered with snow and hard frozen; but the Lord is never wanting unto His in their greatest needs; let His hold name have all the praise." Yes, they stole the corn and beans, but Bradford makes it clear later that the Pilgrims did their best to befriend the Native Americans and thank them for their help by helping and teaching each other.

"The Truth about the Pilgrims" addresses many "charges" against the pilgrims. Why not relax? They did "steal" the corn, right? They tried to mitigate the "theft" but ... they did "steal" it. Is it "wrong" to "steal" to eat? Is it wrong to engage in revisionist history and complain that they didn't "steal" it? --- Mildred <mallek@pensys.com> wrote: > I have just seen a newsletter from a church which states that the > Pilgrims "stole" the seed corn from the Native Americans and never > thanked them for it. > > I know this is off-topic, but things like that bother me, and I don't > know any sources with which to refute statements like these.

The USA Weekend magazine for this weekend has picture of two Alden Kindred of America members on the cover and a third in the story by Cokie Roberts. The magazine is already out with the Patriot Ledger weekend edition and will be in certain Sunday papers. It's a charming photo and the story is entirely positive and a plus for us all. Called "Pilgrims' Progress," it emphasizes how Mayflower descendants today come in all-American colors. A winner.

Thank you VERY much, Susan, for sharing this valuable information. It sure makes me wonder why there's any debate/confusion among researchers about which Thomas married Dorcas Samson ~ they obviously didn't read Thomas Sr.'s will too clearly, as it leaves no doubt of who his wife was.

Thank you for sharing this reference, it illustrates my point that there's a lot of confusion about which Thomas Bonney married Dorcas Samson! :) But, I think I'll trust the Mayflower Society's research on this one, and go with Susan's information that Dorcas married Thomas Jr. Again, thank you ~ I appreciate your help!

Gillian -- Want to join the others in welcoming you to this great list and add agreement to all they're saying - Susan Roser is a wealth of Canadian Mayflower info and very helpful, the folks on this list are more than eager to share what they know and help any way they can. I joined the list just after I first found a huge amount of maternal side relatives and then learned they all came on the Mayflower and migrated to Nova Scotia around the late 1700's.

I located this, hope this is of some help to you. taken from The Giles Memorial Genealogical Memoirs Author: John Adams Vinton Call Number: R929.1V79s HENRY SAMPSON1 was one of the company of Pilgrims who came in the world-renowned MAYFLOWER to Plymouth in 1620. He was a member of the family of his uncle, Edward Tilley,(*) and was too young to sign the immortal compact of November 11, in the cabin of that vessel, while at anchor in the harbor of Provincetown. He was, however, enumerated in the assignment of land, 1623, and in the division of cattle, 1627, and was admitted a freeman of Plymouth Colony in 1637. He early removed to Duxbury--probably with the first settlers of that town; and married ANN PLUMMER, Feb. 6, 1635-6.?? He was one of the original grantees of Bridgewater, 1645, but did not remove thither. He was constable of Duxbury, 1661. "This," says Winsor, "was an office of high trust and responsibility, and none were elected to it but men of good standing." He died Dec. 24, 1684. In his will, bearing date the same day, he mentions no wife, but to his sons Stephen, John, and James, gives a tract of land he had purchased in Dartmouth; to each of them a third part. To his son Caleb he gives one shilling. He also gives one shilling each to dau. Elizabeth, wife of Robert Sproat; to dau. Hannah, wife of Josiah Holmes; to his dau. (???) [name not given] "now wife of John Hammond;" to dau. Mary, wife of John Summers; to dau. Dorcas, wife of Thomas Boney. Mr. Wiswall [Rev. Ichabod Wiswall, pastor of Duxbury from 1676 to 1700] was to be overseer of the will. Thomas Delano and Joseph Chandler were witnesses. The will was exhibited before the [General] Court of Plymouth, March 5, 1684-5; and may be found in the Old Colony Records, Wills, Vol. 4, p. 94. The will thus indicates that the property of the testator, all but the Dartmouth purchase, had already been distributed among the heirs. Guided by the will, we make out the children of Henry Sampson, at the time of his death, to have been as follows: 2. Elizabeth,2 m. Robert Sproat, who was of Scituate, 1660, and died at Middleborough, in 1712. 3. Hannah,2 m. Josiah Holmes2 of Duxbury, March 20. 1665-6. For as account of her descendants, see p. 185, and sequel, of this volume. 4. A daughter, whose name is not given; m. John Hammond. See above. (*) We learn this fact from Governor Bradford's List of passengers in the Mayflower, at the end of his long-lost and lately-recovered History, published by the Massachusetts Historical Society in 1856. Bradford, in 1650, says--"the youth Henery Samson is still liveing, and is maried, and hath 7. children." From this we inter that all the children of Henry Samson in the above list were born before 1650, except Stephen and Caleb, who must have been born after that date. ?? The will of John Barnes of Plymouth, dated March 6, 1667-8, names his "cousen" the wife of Henry Sampson.  The only John Hammond known to me, who could be the husband of this daughter of Henry Sampson, was born in England, 1627, son of William and Elizabeth Hammond, who settled in Watertown as early as 1642. Assuming this to be a son-in-law of Henry Sampson, the name of the daughter was Sarah, b. 1643, d. Jan. 14, 1688, a. 45. See Bond's Watertown, p. 270. Page 374 5. (+)John,2 b. about 1645; m. Mary Pease. 6. Mary,2 m. John Summers.(*) 7. Dorcas,2 m. Thomas Bonney of Duxbury. In the will, and in the early records, the name is Boney. Thomas Boney was a shoemaker; had land in Duxbury, 1640; constable, 1643-4; d. about 1693. The husband of Dorcas was probably his son. 8. (+)James,2 m. (???). 9. (+)Stephen,2 m. Elizabeth (???). 10. (+)Caleb,2 m. Mercy Standish.

To add to my previous answer - Dorcas Samson married Thomas Bonney Jr., the son of Thomas Sr. & Mary Bonney. This according to MF 20:1:6. Thomas Boney "Sr." of Duxbury, in his will dated 2 Jan. 1688/9, mentions wife Mary, unnamed children and son Thomas. The will of Thomas Boney (Jr.) of Duxbury, dated 29 July 1735 mentions dau Elizabeth the wife of Ephraim Norcutt; dau Mercy now the wife of John Curtis and her children by her former husband Nathaniel Delanoe, viz: Nathaniel Delano & his sisters Mercy, Lydia, Zerviah and Mary Delano.
