My Mother had ancestors on the Mayflower.

By now many also have ancestors on the Mayflower.

My ancestor arrived in VA on First Supply — before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth.

"My Mother had ancestors on the Mayflower. By now many also have ancestors on the Mayflower."

My fourth-grade teacher claimed - ad nauseum - to have had ancestors on the Mayflower. Her last name was Carver, which gave her claim a semblance of credibility.

The chapter on the Pilgrims in Richard Armour’s “It All Started With Columbus” is still a hoot. Don’t have my copy here but a few lines stick in memory:

“The land was hilly and stony, except in places where it was stony and hilly.”

“Stores were called Shoppes, or Ye Olde Shoppes. Prices were slightly higher at the latter.”

“Every morning the settlers rode out into the fields in their blunderbusses and sowed grain.”

I, too, had ancestors on the Mayflower. I am descended from Rev. William Brewster.
