Last month I discovered the names of another set of great grandparents, and another Mayflower line, on the Crosby side. With a little research it became apparent that this was more than a single Mayflower line; five *new* lines pass through the new set of grandparents.
Before last month, the three Mayflower lines that I knew of led to: Peter Brown, James Chilton and William Brewster.
In February 2013, I learned the maiden name of Hannah Clements [1730-1809] (my 5th-great grandmother). The discovery that Hannah Clements was born Hannah Eaton led to the names of her parents: Barnabas Eaton and Mehitable Alden. I recognized Alden as a Mayflower name and soon learned Eaton was also a Mayflower name.
Barnabas Eaton’s line also connected to the Billington and Fuller Mayflower names and Mehitable Alden’s line connected to Priscilla Mullins, who was also a Mayflower passenger. This meant that Hannah (Clements) Eaton was descended from ten (10) Mayflower passengers!
To date, these are the Mayflower passengers from which I am a descendant:
- John Alden
- John Billington
- Ellinor Billington
- Francis Billington
- William Brewster
- Mary Brewster
- Peter Brown
- James Chilton
- Mrs. James Chilton
- Mary Chilton
- Francis Eaton
- Sarah Eaton
- Samuel Eaton
- Samuel Fuller
- William Mullins
- Priscilla Mullins
- Richard Warren
(Blue names are the newly discovered Mayflower ancestors of Hannah Eaton.)
(Red name(s) are recently discovered and added when the post was edited.)
Hello Cousin,
I am proud of your magnanimous endeavors invovling our family tree. I also subscribed to your blog. I have submitted my email. And I am no saint. But not a stranger either. Sorry to hear about Aunt Gen. And uncle Harry they will be missed. My heart goes out too you all.
I am so amazed at your many connections to the Mayflower. I have Hannah Clements, listed as stepchild, in my tree (1771-1833) married to Jonathan Baker. Your Hannah Clements
is young for my family tree, . Knowing her maternal line would open so many links. Would you direct me, please, to your connection to Barnabas Eaton and Mehitable Alden. Where would I find that Hannah is Hannah Eaton.
I do not have “Price” as a name for Sarah (Ross) Hoar.
I put William Jr’s death as Before June 1720, because on 21 Jun 1720 Sara Ross Hoar married James Taylor in Beverly, MA
William Jr. and Sarah had a daughter named Sarah (Feb 1795/96). I have no further information about her.
Is there a link to the document you mentioned? I would like to take a look at what is there also.
