Mayflower Ancestors

We'd been told by several in the family that we were Mayflower descendants (there are something like 2,000,000+ at this time).  However, nobody was certain of the lineage.  I am fairly certain now and I wasn't really surprised to find connections in that our ancestors had been in New England, particularly Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine for a very long time.  It is likely that they would meet and marry some Mayflower descendant along the way.  Your great-aunt Margaret and I are now up to 9 Mayflower ancestors, as are you.  I don't believe there will be more from our line.  They are:

- Isaac Allerton (husband of Mary (Norris) Allerton and father of Mary Allerton)
- Mary (Norris) Allerton
- James Chilton (he is the father of Mary Chilton)
- Mary Chilton
- Mary Allerton (the last surviving Mayflower passenger when she died in 1699)
- William Brewster 
- Mary Love Wentworth Brewster
- Stephen Hopkins
- Constance Hopkins

There was also a crew aboard the Mayflower and it appears we are descended also from John Clarke, Navigator who, as it turns out, was also connected to Jamestown dying there in April 1624. Thus our family connection to the founding of the country continues to expand.
