Mayflower line

Happy Thanksgiving week! Remembering our Mayflower ancestors this week as the reason for the holiday, and thankful for their hard journey and hard times in this new country. Several are posting their Mayflower lines so I will try to post mine.

I descend from 9 Mayflower passengers (5 unique): Howland, Tilley, Standish, Mullins and Alden.

Myles Standish married Barbara
Alexander Standish married Sarah Alden
Lorah Standish married Abraham Samson (love her name Lorah, wanted to name my daughter Lorah)
Sarah Samson married John Rouse
John Rouse married Rebecca Barker
Elizabeth Rouse married Levi Barber
Elizabeth Barber married Felix Modeste Regnier
Felix Regnier (Jr.) married Sallie Sickmon
Roy Regnier married Katherine Dacy
Pamelia Regnier married Lester Seggerman (my grandparents)
my mom married my dad
Me


I will not post my Alden and Mullins line as they are basically as above, but replacing the top people.

My other line is Howland & Tilley

John Howland married Elizabeth Tilley
Joseph Howland married Elizabeth Southworth
Thomas Howland married Joan Cole
Consider Howland married Ruth Bryant
Elizabeth Howland married Isaac Barker
Rebecca Barker married John Rouse (then the rest of the line is the same)

Elizabeth Rouse married Levi Barber
Elizabeth Barber married Felix Modeste Regnier
Felix Regnier (Jr.) married Sallie Sickmon
Roy Regnier married Katherine Dacy
Pamelia Regnier married Lester Seggerman (my grandparents)

My husband is descended from Isaac Allerton. He also misses another Mayflower passenger by the wrong wife; he descends from the second wife of Experience Mitchell whose first wife was Mayflower descendant Joan Hurst. I'm still working on "proving" his line.

Mary Allerton married Thomas (Sr.) Cushman
Thomas (Jr.) Cushman married Abigail Titus
Samuel Cushman married Fear Corser
