REMEMBERING REMEMBER


In my family we have an ancestor who came over on the Mayflower. Her Father was named Isaac Allerton. She had an older sister named Mary and a brother named Barthlomew, and her name was Remember. I am her 9th Great Granddaughter, on Grandpa May's Line. She was married to a man named Moses Maverick.




The trip on the ship was very hard, she was only 6 years old. Her mother had a baby that died when they first got to Plymouth, and she died a short time later. They were on the ship for a total of six weeks, and almost half the people died within the first year that they were in America.



Remember lived for many years, and had a big family, and years and years later, one of them was ME

I was going to write a book about her once, then I found that someone else had done it, so these are her pictures, which is very good because I don't do pictures. The book is called "Three Young Pilgrims"
