There seem to be over 1000 "Mayflower Council" hits on Google. Many of them seem to refer to some organization that evidently was connected to the Descendants of the Mayflower. I would assume your gg would be a descendent of someone on the Mayflower. Sounds logical to me! -----Original Message----- From: pawestmo-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:pawestmo-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Jill Horner Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2011 6:42 PM To: PAWESTMO@rootsweb.com Subject: [PAWESTMO] Mayflower Council My great-grandfather Jacob Ressler, who died in 1936 a resident of Jeannette, was referenced in obituary in the 12/27/1936 Jeannette News-Dispatch as "a member of the Methodist church and Mayflower Council No. 159." Despite my research, I can only find one other internet reference to a Mayflower Council, that appearing in an obituary as well. Can anyone help me with what this organization was/is? All thoughts appreciated!
