Hello Mr. Crews,

Hello Mr. Crews,

   

   

Thank you for your interest in the Mayflower Society. We have received your Preliminary Review Form and have attempted to determine the best previously approved lineage paper in our files that follows your stated lineage.  GS#73771 (CT 3998) matches your proposed lineage, from Mayflower passenger William Bradford, from the 3rd generation through the 8th generation: Ezra Whiton m. Josephine Hawes.  This is a moderately well documented paper, which then follows this couple's son Ezra Whiton; but we have no previously approved lineage papers that follow a daughter Florence.  This does not, of course, mean that your proposed lineage is invalid, only that no one has ever filed it as an application for Mayflower Society membership beyond the point of generation 8.

Thank you for your interest in the Mayflower Society. We have received your Preliminary Review Form and have attempted to determine the best previously approved lineage paper in our files that follows your stated lineage.  GS#73771 (CT 3998) matches your proposed lineage, from Mayflower passenger William Bradford, from the 3rd generation through the 8th generation: [[Ezra Whiton]] m. [[Josephine Hawes]].  This is a moderately well documented paper, which then follows this couple's son [[Ezra Whiton]]; but we have no previously approved lineage papers that follow a daughter Florence.  This does not, of course, mean that your proposed lineage is invalid, only that no one has ever filed it as an application for Mayflower Society membership beyond the point of generation 8.

   

   

Regarding the early generations of your line, Generation 1 through Generation 2 is documented in our Mayflower Families Through Five Generations, Vol. 22: William Bradford book.  No additional documentation is required for the portion of the lineage included in the Mayflower Families books.  Please note that GS#73771 documents a lineage beginning with Mayflower passenger William Mullins.  This Mullins line enters your proposed Bradford line with the marriage of Hannah Rodgers to Samuel Bradford.  As there are no lineage papers in our files that follow your proposed line exactly as proposed (directly from William Bradford) beyond the point of generation 3, GS#73771, when used in combination with the Mayflower Families books, is the best lineage paper in our files applicable to your proposed line.  If you request a copy of this lineage paper using the form below, please indicate William Mullins on the "passenger" line.
