National Society of Mayflower Descendants:  www.mayflower.org   More than one hundred years ago, a group of descendants of the Pilgrims who sailed on the Mayflower in 1620, saw the need for a national society to honor their memory. The intention was to remember these Pilgrims who established Plymouth Colony, in what was then called the northern part of Virginia.

Today there are tens-of-millions of individuals descended from these brave souls. It is the goal of The Mayflower Society to join together people who share this heritage and to carry on the memory of our Pilgrim ancestors.

Connecticut Chapter:  www.ctmayflower.org  The Connecticut Society of Mayflower Descendants welcomes inquiries and appreciates interest in our activities and publications. Our members all have demonstrated direct descent from the Pilgrims or their companions who bravely crossed the gale-ridden Atlantic in the Mayflower in 1620. We have organized as a society to commemorate the spirit of these brave people who had such strength in times of adversity.

English Origins of John Alden
“ John Alden was hired for a cooper, at South-Hampton, where the ship victuled; and being a hopfull young man, was much desired, but left to his owne liking to go or stay when he came here; but he stayed, and maryed here. (Bradford’s History, p. 443, The Mayflower Descendant vol. 1:228)”
John, himself, left us no information about his past.  We estimate the year of his birth as 1598 using John’s own deposition and a broadside published upon his death . . .
. . . For a young man hired as a cooper, John Alden soon assumed a place of high responsibility in the Plymouth Colony, serving as an Assistant many times between 1632 and 1640 and 1650 to 1686.  He acted as Deputy Governor on two occasions when the Governor was absent. In March 1664/5 and October 1677; was Treasurer for three terms 1656 to 1658; and served on numerous committees and councils of war.  This extensive public service indicates that he must have been well educated.  

Mayflower CC Scott

Welcome!   Isn't it exciting we can trace our lineage all the way back to the Mayflower and John Alden and Priscilla Mullins. Also in the 6th Generation Elkanah Dyer was a Revolutionary War Private.  So you can become a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. So often we can not remember past  2 generations or the memories are packed away in the attic.  Our goal here is not only to provide our lineage from Christine Scott Mann back to the Alden's, but also forward to the present time.  Soon the present becomes the past.  Hopefully this site is the basis for several family on line history and photo albums for all to save and share.  If you have any family sites please let me know and I will add their links to the right.

Special thanks to Jan Mann and Karen Hoke who's countless hours of research provided the information for this site.  Soon we hope to hear more about their journey's back to 1620.

Family of Christine Scott, 12th Generation:


Direct Descendants of the Mayflower’s Pilgrims Who Landed at
Plymouth, Mass., December 1620


First Generation
John Alden and Priscilla Mullins

 John Alden was hired for a cooper, at south-Hampton, wher the ship victuled: and being a hopeful young man, was much desired, but left to his owne liking to go or stay when he came here; but he stayed, and maryed here (Bradford's History, 443,MD,1:228).

On 11 November 11 1620 John Alden Joined with the other free adult male passengers of the Mayflower to sign the Compact whereby they agreed to make and abide by their own laws(Bradford's History, 75; New Englands Memorial, 15-16).  This is all that is know about the origins of John Alden.

It is estimated Priscilla Mullins was born between 1600 and 1605 , probable in Dorking, Surrey.  Priscilla Mullins came to America on the Mayflower with her parents William and Alice Mullins and one brother, Joseph.  William Mullins was a property owner and a prosperous shoe maker. Priscilla's sister Sarah and brother William Jr. stayed back in England.  He brother William Jr. later emigrated to New England.  The Mullin family was tragically struck by the "general sickness" that devastated the colony in the winter of 1620/21.  William Mullins, his wife Alice, Joseph and their servant all died, leaving Priscilla an orphan. Priscilla married  John Alden.

Email your fondest memory of Christine and a photo your family photos to be added below.

I remember hunting frogs at their Pinelake Shores home, watching Grampa Manns photo shows and visiting in their trailer.   Marc Goodin

 
My favorites memories of Nanny & Grampy Mann actually are all centered around their house on the lake in Coventry, which I loved: swinging out over the water on that old rope swing that hung from a tree; wonderful big family gatherings (that house was actually pretty small now that I think of it - how did we all fit? I think many parties were in the summer when we could be outside - Grampy's birthday was on June 30th); the porch room that was always cold, where Nanny kept a bunch plants that she fussed over; and my favorite memory of all is of Nanny standing outside with a handful of peanuts (in shells), rapping the peanuts on a rock and little chipmunks and squirrells coming out of the woods for their treat - sometimes taking a peanut out of Nanny's hand. Oh - one more strong memory - Nanny's way of calling us all "dear," only she said "de-ah"!

The Voyage of the Mayflower
 
The Pilgrims leave Plymouth Harbor in England in September 1620 on a ship called the Mayflower.  They seek freedom in America to worship God the way they want.  The voyage is difficult but only one of the passengers dies. 
 
                             
 
Two of the passengers on the ship are John Alden and Priscilla Mullins.  John is a cooper (a barrel maker) and he helps the Pilgrims begin a colony.  Priscilla is the daughter of William and Alice Mullins.
 
The first winter is very difficult.  There are not enough houses built when the snow begins to fall.  Many Pilgrims stay aboard the Mayflower through the winter.  They suffer from the bitter cold and only half survive.

In March 1621 a Native American named Samoset walks into Plimoth colony and says "Welcome Englishmen."  Samoset had learned some English from European fishermen.  He introduces the Pilgrims to the Wampanoag leader Chief Massasoit.  They also meet Squanto, who knows English too.
 
Chief Massasoit offers friendship and help to the Pilgrims.  The two groups exchange gifts and sign the "Treaty of Friendship."

In April, the Mayflower sails back to England.  All of the Pilgrims choose to stay.  The Wampanoag share their knowledge of hunting, fishing and farming. 
 
 
October 1621 they prepare a feast to give thanks to God for their first harvest.  Massasoit and 90 other Wampanoag are invited to join the 52 Pilgrims for this three-day feast.

The English serve wild turkeys, geese, and ducks.  The Wampanoag bring five deer, along with lobsters, clams, oysters, and fish.  The feast also includes cucumbers, carrots, cabbages, turnips, radishes, onions, beets, corn, and wild fruits.
 
 
                                                             
 
In 1623, two years later, John Alden and Priscilla Mullins marry.  They have 10 children, one of which is Rebecca Alden. The family works hard and is very happy.  This is a picture of their home. 
 
Rebecca Alden marries Thomas Delano and their great great grandson is Elkanah Dyer who fought in the Revolutionary War.
John and Priscilla Alden's great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandchildren are Aaron, Alex, Ally, Andy, Aubin, Brendan, Brian, Cassie, CJ, Cindy, Claudia, Daniel, Danny, Emily, Eric, Grant, Guy, Chrissy, Jeffrey, Joseph, Joshua, Justin, Kylie, Lee, Matthew, Mikayla, Nathan, Nick, Nina, Paul, Rob, Russell, Steven, and Taylor.
We are all very proud of our family history.

Note: This is a story written by Janet Weymouth (the 13th generation’s second cousin.) She gave us permission to change the names at the end.



A Beautiful Bouquet,
A Beautiful Character, A True Friend,
Mrs. Jennie Clark Marble.

Upon a sunny summer day
A friend brought from her garden fair
Some handsome blue delphiniums
And regal lilies, O so fair!

The blue delphiniums seemed a rtye
Of loving friendship, strong and true,
This lady dear is such a one,
A friend sincere, the truest blue.

Seven years I in her hoe did stay,
It brings me pleasant memories
Of her and her grandchildren:
Stanley, who dearly loved to tease,

Orville, with his pretty brown eyes,
The boy has now to manhood grown.
He has a wife and little girl,
Dear Mona, with her eyes so brown.

She makes me think of Florence dear,
When she was just a little child;
I seem to see her big brown eyes,
And hear her little voice so mild.

I think of little Frances, too.
She was so dear and seemed so wise;
She so much like her Grandma seemed,
Although she did not have brown eyes.

Her brother Tom, a little chap;
He was all boy, and full of fun.
He likes to play with Orville best;
How fast his little legs could run!

Then came Christine, a sweet young girl,
From far off California shore.
She dearly loved to run and play
And fields and woodlands to explore.

Now all these children have grown up
And all have children of their own
Excepting Stanley and his wife,
Whose deal babe died when it was born.

So, Mrs. Marble, I would write
These verses to you, deal, true friend;
May God all your dear family bless,
And keep you all unto the end.

July 25, 1942
