[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are studying the Pilgrims now in school. Direct descendants. Not something we talk about much.[/quote]
There are a lot of old families in the DC area. But when I say descendants, I mean our 5x great grandfather was a Pilgrim. Not that we are all human. [b]Old families tend to know each other.[/b] We know some descendants of the Massachusetts Bay colony (the witch trial people) Did it ever occur to anyone that "the Addams Family" is a take off on the Adams family from the constitution?

11:05 here - being a proven Mayflower descendant hasn't benefitted me in any way and to my knowledge, not many of my family members have a pot to piss in.  Is there some kind of old money/Mayflower fund I don't know about that I can submit an application to? I also don't know any of my old family relatives-- Chilton Family.  Maybe one of them will post on this board and we can hang out.  :D [/quote]

Hi! We're connected to the Chiltons. Also three other first families (they did lots of intermarrying at the beginning of the old family trees up there in Plimouth/Duxbury).
I would also hereby like to submit an app to the Mayflower fund! I'm happy to take it in Amazon credit if the Mayflower patriarchs are listening (and have adapted to the times). I guess it's fun to brag about our impeccable pedigree (even if they mostly farmed), and so, so many people stem from those settlers, it's not that special I suppose.[/quote]
