New line approved Mullins/Alden

Posted: 6 Jul 2014 5:58AM GMT
Classification: Query
Surnames: Alden, Mullins, Bass, Copeland, Jones, Mann, Sylvester, Porter, Cole
When I started my preliminary review with the GSMD back in January, they replied they had no previously approved lineage paper that follows this line beyond the 5th generation. I attended the Vermont Mayflower semi-annual meeting last weekend, and was delighted to learn that "Plymouth" had approved my line a few days prior. Vermont Historian Sharon Matyas was so helpful during the process. As it is a "new" line, I thought I would share it here in case it is helpful to others:

1 Priscilla Mullins m. John Alden
2 Ruth Alden m. John Bass
3 Mary Bass m. William Copeland (Braintree, MA 1694)
4 Mary Copeland m. Ephraim Jones (Braintree, MA 1731)
5 Moses Jones m. Dorothy Dyer (Braintree, MA 1759 or 1760)
6 Mary (Polly) Jones m. Joseph Mann (Braintree, MA 1798)
7 Hannah Mann m. John A Sylvester (Canton, MA abt 1820)
8 John Adams Sylvester m. Celia Delano (Stoughton, MA 1867)
9 Blanche Ida Belle Sylvester m. Elmer A Porter (Rochester, NH 1898)
10 George Raymond Porter m. Stella Lavina Taylor (Ayer, MA 1920)
11 Ruth Adeline Porter m. Alva Vernal Cole (Ayer, MA 1952)
12 Joyce Ann Cole m. Michael Edward Hopkins (Ayer, MA 1975)
13 me

Because 8 of the 11 generations between me and the Mayflower were women carrying the line, I chose to take the opportunity to claim descent from Priscilla. I still am new to genealogy, and this has been such a rewarding early project for me. I've enrolled my three daughters as "juniors" and they are also very excited to have received their membership certificates and educational material.
