Mayflower Project WikiTree

In order to get "official confirmation" you need to apply for membership in The Mayflower Society. If you want a less formal confirmation you can double check your research going through each generation confirming that you have valid sources for each parent-child relationship. Wikitree has profiles for the first several generations (until about 1700) of descendants of William Brewster. You might also find this book https://themayflowersociety.org/shop/mayflower-families-silver-books/volume-24-part-1-william-brewster-generations-1-4-2014/ helpful. Look for it in a library.

We are 9th cousins once removed via the Waddells at Gen. 10/11, but 44 more common ancestors were also found between Cathy and Diane!

First you should interview any living older relatives you have. Mine had a lot of information they could pass on.

You can also look for your father, living with his parents in the U.S Census. Open a free account at www.familysearch.org Go to search and put in as much information as you can about your father.

Thank you Stephen, I've taken care of it.

The father's profile is here: Edward Fuller, and his sons are attached. I think all 3 profiles have substantial source information on them. I you have questions, please feel free to post questions on the specific profiles.

Peleg Doud was the son of Rebecca Grinnell, according to Mayflower Families Through Five Generations: Descendants of the Pilgrims who landed at Plymouth, Mass., December 1620. Plymouth, MA: General Society of Mayflower Descendants, John Alden vol 16 . pt 2. pg 359

Note there is no mention of his name being Philemon

I think that's an excellent idea. I'll send you a message with the project email.

Done! I added Mayflower Project WikiTree as a profile manager.

Aurora: the latest research, including a y-DNA match to a Forrest family in Scotland, indicates George Soule was b. ca 1601 as the last of a series of children of Jan Sol and his wife Mayken Labis [they were married in London England as religious refugees in 1586]. These children were baptized in Haarlem, the Netherlands, in the 1590s, and included a son Johannes Sol. Thus George Sol was really Dutch, not English. Johannes Sol was a printer in Leiden and apparently was associated with Brewster and Winslow in their efforts to print Separatist literature for distribution in Scotland and England. George was of an age to be a printer's devil or helper in Leiden ca 1618/9. Johannes Sol died in a fire about the Winter of 1618/9, while boiling printer's varnish on a Sabbath [Tsk! Tsk!]. As for being a teacher to Winslow's children----Soule would have been released from his relationship as servant to Winslow when Soule reached age 25. Winslow's children did not reach school-age for some years later----so I am very doubtful that Soule was a teacher to Winslow's children while Soule was still a servant. So if Soule did teach Winslow's children, he did it when he was way past age 25 years, so no longer a 'young man.'

I am interested in following the Bonham line as my great grandmother was Emeline Virginia Bonham Williams and her father was Joseph Parke Bonham and his father was Hezekaih. The Hezekias confuse me. [email address removed]

Hiya DL Miller, I have a Bonham connection; Since we are on the MayFlower Project Page (Long Winded List, Myself to Edward Fuller): Myself Virgil Maynard Kester III (Kester-460), Virgil Maynard Kester Jr., Virgil Maynard Kester Sr., Harvey Chord Kester, John Bonham Kester Jr., John Bonham Kester Sr., Ruhama (Bonham) Kester, Jacob Bonham, Amariah Bonham, Hezekiah Bonham, Hannah (Fuller) Bonham, Samuel Fuller, Edward Fuller (Fuller-13). I have many others down the family line with Bonham within their name, first and middle.
