The Mayflower

In the summer of 2010 I discovered that I had a number of ancestors on the Mayflower. As a result I am doing research on the Mayflower and it's passengers. I am starting by adding some awesome photos and prints. I also have links about the Mayflower.

Here is what I have discovered so far. I have found I have 15 ancestors that were on the Mayflower;

4 Brewsters: Elder William Brewster, my 10th great grandfather and his wife. Also two son's Love & Wrestling my 9th great grand uncles.

4 Fullers: Samuel Fuller my 9th great grandfather, and my 9th great grand uncles Edward Fuller and William Fuller. Also, Mrs. Edward Fuller.

3 Eatons: Also Francis & Sarah Eaton my 9th great grand parents, along with their infant son, Samuel, my 8th great grandfather.

4 Billingtons: My 9th great grandfather Francis, his parents Eleanor & John my 10th great grandparents, and my 9th great grand uncle, John.

I hope you enjoy the collection of information I have pulled together.

Link to view & purchase print is available by clicking on the same photo listed below.

    My name is Joyce Fuller and I am a direct descendant of Samuel and Edward Fuller (Edward's line). The first child born on the Mayflower was Anna Fuller White's child named Peregrin. My great great uncle was Chief Justice Melville Fuller.

    I'm also a Mayflower descendant. All the information can get overwhelming. Great lens!

    Very interesting and nicely done. We summer near Plymouth MA, and have visited the Mayflower replica and Plymouth Village, where you can see how the Pilgrams struggled just to survive. Your ancestors were couragous, and you must be very proud.

    I don't have any relatives on the Mayflower. Well, none that I know of but this is very interesting. Amazing how you were able to trace your ancestors. Will you be adding more info here? Would love to come back to read more. Fantastic lens! Sundae ;-)

    That is so cool. I wonder how many other have a number of ancestors like we do.

    How exciting! I've never known anyone who had ancestors on the Mayflower. Very informative lens, and the visuals are nice too.

    I think there are many people you know that are related but they just don't know it. Genealogy is so exciting-seeing where you come from...

    Fascinating to learn you had so many ancestors on the Mayflower. I loved the posters.

    It is so exciting finding relatives that were on the Mayflower! I still have a few more lines to research. Being such a small community of people it is not surprising that I am related to this number (so far). Thanks for visiting my lens.

    Good job! Who from your ancestors was on Mayflower? Have they left something behind (except the family and you of course!) Just curious:)

    I added my Mayflower ancestor information above this comment module. :-)
