Douglas and the Mayflower

[Beverley Poling]

Hi;

I just joined your group and am not sure if this is of any interest. My Douglas line to the Mayflower is (as another researcher put it, by occasional marriages!) I believe the Mother is just as important as the Father.

George C. Douglass b1870, Louisville, New York &  Anna Louise Janes

Samuel Douglass b abt. 1822, New York & Harriet Bancroft

Samuel Douglass b1783, New London, Ct. & Sally Crane

William Douglass b1753, New London Ct. & Lucretia Caulkins

William Douglas b1731, New London, Ct. & Mary Lucas

William Douglas b1708, New London, Ct. & Sarah Denison

George Denison b1671 D, New London, Ct. & Mary Wetherell

Daniel Wetherell b 1630 Kent, England & Grace Brewster

Jonathan Brewster b1593 Scrooby, Nottingham, England & Lucretia Oldham

William Brewster (Mayflower Anc.) b1565, Scrooby, Eng. & Mary Wentworth

I am a Mayflower Society member through Anna Louis Janes, wife of George Charles Douglass.

Anna Louise Janes anc, Jonathan Janes married Irene Bradford, Great-Granddaughter of William Bradford, Mayflower imm. and Governor of Plimouth.

I am looking forward to finding more about my Douglas ancestor in Scotland.

Bev,

Was your mother Eleanor Bancroft Douglass?  Her husband was someone named Richardson?

I like to fill in the blanks in my database.

Hi Ed;

I think I probably "spoke" with you many years ago. Yes, my Mom was Eleanor married to Thurman Richardson. I don't know if I can help but let me know what blanks you are looking for and I'll try to help.

Hi Bev,

Now I have you hooked into my database.  Enough details for now.  Yes, we have had communication from time to time.  Very useful.  Thanks.  Ed

Beverley sent me this some time ago:

From the Book THE MAYFLOWER AND THE PILGRIMS NEW WORLD by Nathaniel Philbrick.

The Mayflower returned to England April 5, 1621, made excellent time on return home, Jones & the Mayflower on second voyage went to France with a cargo of salt. The next two years the Mayflower lay idle and became a "rotting hulk". Her subsequent fate is unknown but she was probably broken up for scrap.
