Bev,
Was your mother Eleanor Bancroft Douglass? Her husband was someone named Richardson?
I like to fill in the blanks in my database.

William Douglas
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.
