This was covered some time ago in a discussion concerning notable individuals with Mayflower ancestry. Sir Winston Churchill has no proven lineal descent from any Mayflower passengers. However, he is a descendant of Arthur, brother of Mayflower passenger John Howland. Rick in MA (a descendant of Chilton, Cooke, Hopkins, Soule and Warren) "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."---The Declaration of Independence "I love the word 'friends'.
