Women Mayflower Ancestors
There are three criteria for the women from whom Plymouth accepts descent:
1. They were on the Mayflower. Richard Warren’s wife Elizabeth Walker came in 1623.
2. Their surname must be known.
3. They must be first generation on the Mayflower. Since Priscilla Mullins’ father was on the Mayflower, she is second generation.
There are only the three women who fit these criteria:
Elizabeth (Fisher) Hopkins
Mary (Norris) Allerton
Joan (Hurst) Tilley
Any woman is eligible for membership who is no less than eighteen years of age and can prove lineal, blood line descent from an ancestor who aided in achieving American independence.
She must provide documentation for each statement of
birth, marriage, and death.
Sons of the American Revolution: Any man is eligible for membership who is no less than eighteen years of age and can prove lineal, blood line descent from an ancestor who aided in achieving American independence. He must provide documentation for each statement of birth, marriage, and death.
Eligibility for membership in this Society is based upon lineal descent from one or more of the Plantagenet Kings of England. Plantagenet was the surname used by the Angevin House, which succeeded to the throne of England in A.D. 1154 in the person of Henry II, who ruled until the deposition of Richard II (1399). The houses of York and Lancaster, which succeeded, being descended from Edward III, are generally included in the Plantagenet Line.
