Mayflower
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mayflower was the famous ship that transported the Pilgrims from Plymouth, England, to Plymouth Colony, Massachusetts (United States), in 1620. [1] The vessel left England on September 6, and after a gruelling journey marked by disease, the ship dropped anchor inside the hook tip of Cape Cod (Provincetown Harbor) on November 11 (dates in Old Style, Julian Calendar).[1] The Mayflower originally was destined for the Hudson River, north of the 1607 Jamestown Settlement. [2] However, the Mayflower went severely off-course as the winter approached and remained in Cape Cod Bay (mapped in 1602 by Gosnold).

On March 21, 1621, all surviving passengers, who had inhabited the ship during the winter, moved ashore as Plymouth Colony, and on April 5, the Mayflower, a privately commissioned vessel, returned to England (details below).[1]

In 1623, a year after the death of captain Christopher Jones, the Mayflower was dismantled for scrap lumber in Rotherhithe, London, England.[citation needed]

isn't Canada in texas?

 

I didn't think there was. I was giving Greensman some good humored razzing. I noticed he's one of the resident pranksters. I think abcd has already figured out I mean no harm and am a laid back sort. So, don't worry about me. If I have anything serious to say, I'll try to make it obvious.

 

heres proof

Speaking of ancestry, I think some of my ancestors may have been here before the Pilgrims. LOL I come from mostly English and Scots-Irish descent, but my grandfather spoke of Native Americans in the family lineage. My family is a true example of the "melting pot". At this late date I have no idea where all the branches of the family tree originated.

 

ddp
