A quick peek around the Mayflower

I had learned a few years back from my aunt that we had family on the Mayflower.  No Grays, of course, that would be way too easy ... but other family that eventually merged in with the Grays.  The first one we found was Stephen Hopkins, my 10th great grandfather, through Hannah West (married Jeremiah Gray, grandson of Capt Jesse). 

 

So there's one.  Then there's James Chilton and Edward Winslow, my 11th great grandfathers.

Also, William Brewster, my 12th great grandfather through Sarah Moulton (wife of Capt Jesse).

John Billington descends to Mary Ritchie, who married Thomas Gray (grandson of Capt Jesse).

Peter Browne, Francis Eaton, Priscilla Mullins & John Alden descend to Lottie Jestings (my great grandmother, married to Reginald Gray).

And then we have Francis Cooke, my 10th great grandfather.

and on and on and on ...

I know there are more, I just got tired of looking.  Basically there were 120 people on the Mayflower, they all got cozy in Plymouth, Massachusetts and ended up making a bazillion descendants all inter-related, many of whom worked their way down to me.

It really is too bad there were no Grays on the Mayflower ...
