William Brewster, Thomas Rogers and Stephen Hopkins were some of my 12th great grandfather's. Family skuttlebutt was we were descendents of Mary Allerton - that folklore was bandied about for decades and I believed it until I set out to prove it. I still haven't found any evidence of Mary Allerton but found the others (and evidence of a lot of intermarrying between 1st and 2nd cousins on the Hopkins line too). 😳 I could have lived my whole life without that knowledge and been very happy to not know that. 🤢 I met a beautiful young man in high school when I was 16 years old. Our connection was strengthened by the fact we had both had moved 3000 miles away from home in Massachusetts where we were both born to Arizona; we'll be married 40 years in October. We recently discovered he too is a descent of Stephen Hopkins (and also Richard Warren) making us very distantly related. 😳 We share no DNA thankfully, but I would never have married someone even distantly related 400 years in the past had I known. You just never know who you are marrying really because after 2 DNA tests and an exhausting application process to the General Descends of the Mayflower Society later I've come to this conclusion: every person on this planet is distantly related, you just have to look back far enough in the family tree to find the connection. So ... howdy cousins! 👋
Ykw..i love everything it brought. iam a descendant of this great man. if you don't like the Mayflower or my 13 great grandfather, you can just leave you don't have to say shit about it!!!!
It makes me really mad that you BLM ppl get over anything... even something that happened such a long time ago... I'm happy with everything that it brought over ..... "EVERYTHING!!!"😉😆
What a delightful discovery this video is to the end of my Thanksgiving, thank you! :-) I am a descendant of William Brewster, through my father, who was, coincidently or not, also a newspaper publisher! I also had to laugh, as I was telling my son, an Aquarius zodiac sign, that William must have also been an Aquarius, to be a rebel like this.. and sure enough, when I looked at his birthdate, there it was, Jan. 24, an Aquarius! :-) I love it.. what a voice for freedom of speech and the press, my passions as well and let's hope the USA remains this way! Many thanks for a nice gift on this special day.. our 400th Anniversary! How cool! :-)
