my Mayflower ancestry
On my mother’s side, I am a direct descendant of three Mayflower passengers — namely, William Brewster (ca. 1566-1644), Francis Cooke (ca. 1583-1663), and Richard Warren (ca. 1578-1628) — and, probably also of Mayflower passenger Stephen Hopkins (ca. 1579-1644).
Attached below as a downloadable Word document is an article about these ancestors.
