Do I qualify (Mayflower) [closed]

Question

This is for Becky Syphers since she is the Mayflower Guru and an Alden scholar. This is my pedigree, I feel like a dog: # 11 married David Alden, son of John Alden and Pricilla Mullins. Also if I do make the cut. is there a group for descendants of Plymouth and Jamestown? Without membership in the Mayflower group, my earliest up there is Alice Carpenter who arrived 1n 1623. But she is a latecomer as my 10th great grandfather arrived in Virginia in time to be cannibalized in 1609

Answer 1

Hi Michael,

I sent Becky a note to come look.  Have you reviewed all the source info and compared each fact to the source.  You are going to need a lot of strong documentation. Some of them may already be documented so you may only need to go to the most recently documented ancestor.

FYI, I am looking at Elizbeth (Southworth) Gallup for inclusion in my Charter Members of Bristol RI project.  Her husband is on the list.

Good luck and let us know if you make it!

Answer 2

Alice Carpenter was married twice. Her first husband was Edward Southworth.  Their children are not Mayflower descendants.  Therefore this line probably would not be approved as Mayflower. Her second husband was William Bradford. They had 3 children who do qualify as Mayflower.  (Alice is discussed in a Wikipedia article about the Carpenters.)

The Mayflower society does want serious documentation for each birth, marriage, death and connection between the generations.  For example, your birth certificate would have your parents' names. This connects you to the next older generation and documents your birth. You probably have to document as far back until the people are listed in the 5 generation. books.  It gets expensive and time consuming to join.

Thank you Becky!

I was inquiring about the wikitree Mayflower Project. I don't want to join the Mayflower Society. It's almost as bad as the Jamestown Society. You can't ask to join that, you must be invited

I'm in the Society of Mayflower Descendants in Texas and we are very welcoming.  Anyone who expresses interest will be invited by a member.  We want our group to grow.  I hope your chapter would operate similarly.
