AMES, FRANKLIN
First cousin once removed of Col. Edward Southworth, below, but not of the other Edward, Franklin Ames was a Gen. 9 Chilton & Gen. 8 Cooke descendant on his mother's side. He was also a Gen. 8 Cooke on his father's side. His Chilton line runs as follows: Hannah (Southworth) Ames, Perez Southworth, Edward, Edward, Desire (Gray) Southworth, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife (name unknown), the last 3 all of the Mayflower. See Col. Edward's writeup for more details, and the Cooke writeup for those lineages. Trivia: Franklin is not wearing a Civil War uniform per se but the garb of a major in the U.S. Paymaster's office, circa 1866. The LOC has a collection of 19th century paymaster photos & letters from citizens nominating civilians for this job. Image and info from Bradford Kingman, History of North Bridgewater (Boston: author, 1866), pp. 439-440, 651-2, digitized by the University of California Libraries.

Ames, Frederick Lothrop
Best estimates are that he is a Generation 10 Chilton descendant, via his paternal grandmother Susan (Angier) Ames' paternal grandfather, Edward Howard. He may be the Edward b. 1723, in Bridgewater, per the Chilton Silver Book. Frederick, b. 1835 in North Easton, MA, was son of Oliver Ames (2nd), below, and Susan (Lothrop) Ames. Image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts,v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 29. Digitized by the Boston Public Library.
Ames, Oakes
Massachusetts Representative Oakes Ames was brother of the Hon. Oliver Ames and grandfather of Oakes Ames 2d, both below, and uncle of Frederick, above. If the premise of his and Oliver's mother Susan Angier being a Chilton descendant holds up, he would also be a Generation 9 Chilton. Library of Congress photo.
Ames, Oakes 2d
This Oakes Ames was grandson of Oakes Ames (above) and relative of Frederick and Oliver, below. He was a well-known Harvard botanist, specilizing in orchids, and would be a Generation 11 Chilton. His wife and collaborator, scientific illustrator Blanche (Ames) Ames, was not related. This photo comes from the Massachusetts government site for Borderlands State Park, formerly Oakes' and Blanche's family estate.
Ames, Oliver
Just to confuse things, Oakes Ames above (son of Oliver the Shovel King) brother to Oliver 2d, below, both of whom took over the Easton, MA shovel manufactury after their father, also named his son Oliver Ames (1831-1895). Governor Ames would be a Generation 10 Chilton. This Oliver became governor of Massachusetts and father of Oakes 2d, below. He did not use a suffix, such as "III" that might help distinguish among the Olivers. He would be a first cousin of Frederick, above as well. This image was a public domain image from wikipedia. A photo must surely exist but is not to be found on the mass.gov web site or on the Massachusetts Archives site. If anyone knows of one, please contact the webmaster. (Interestingly, the Ameses do not much resemble each other, so which - if any - looks like a Chilton? Oliver 2d most resembles Estelle Clark, directly below him, and Benjamin Winslow Harris, directly below her. Estelle and the Ames were Chiltons via Mary (Chilton) Winslow (Mrs. John Winslow). Benjamin was a Chilton via his father but his mother was a descendant via John's brother Kenelm. Perhaps these three look like Winslows. It would be nice to have more than three Winslow images: Elkanah Watson here and the links to the Edward and Josiah Winslow portraits at Pilgrim Hall, posted on wikipedia. )
Ames, Oliver (2nd)
The Hon. Oliver Ames (1807-1877) of Easton, MA was a son of Oliver Ames of Plymouth, who married Susan Angier, b. 1783. She was supposedly a descendant via her paternal grandfather Edward Howard of James Chilton (via daughter Mary and John Winslow.) That may be the Edward Howard, generation 6, in the Chilton Silver Book. If so, Hon. Oliver Ames, a MA legislator, would be a Generation 9 Chilton. His father Oliver was called "The Shovel King" and Easton became "Shoveltown" because the shovel he invented and manufactured became extremely popular, especially in the California Gold Rush. This Oliver was brother of Oakes Ames, father of Frederick, and great uncle of Oakes Ames 2d, all above. Image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts,v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 28. Digitized by the Boston Public Library.
BENSON, CYRUS
Cyrus played 2 sports for Bridgewater Normal School (a college) and here are his team photos: football (1897) & baseball (1900). In addition to Chilton (the only descendant through daughter Isabella to grace this website) he has a Cooke line (see that section) and possibly others. Born 1880 to Zeno & Sybil, he was from a family that tended to repeat names and occupations. His maternal Gen 10 Chilton line runs: Sybil (Edson) Benson, Ephraim Edson, Noah, Martha (Perkins) Edson, Martha (Leonard) Perkins, Solomon Leonard, Sarah (Chandler) Leonard, Isabella (Chilton) Chandler, James Chilton of the Mayflower. (Isabella came over from Leiden later.) The Chilton silver book gets to the birth of Martha Perkins, daughter of Nathan, in 1717 and from there online records document this descent.

BRIGHAM - ELIJAH & WINSLOW
Elijah (left) was born in Westboro, MA in 1751 and became a judge, dying in Washington DC in 1816 per the book from which this picture comes. Winslow (right) was born in the same town 5 years later and died in nearby Northboro in 1837. (I did not find any link with the Mayflower Winslows.) Both are Gen 7 Chiltons via their father, whose birth is in the silver book. The line runs as follows: Levi Brigham, Mary (Leonard) (Newton) Brigham, Samuel Leonard, Sarah (Chandler) Leonard, Isabella (Chilton) Chandler, James & Mrs. Chilton of the Mayflower. Isabella's sister came with her parents on the Mayflower but Isabella and her husband Roger Chandler remained in Leyden for a few more years. Images & info from W. I. Tyler, Emma E., and William E.

BRIGHAM, WINSLOW (See Elijah Brigham, above.)
BUMPUS, EDWARD AVERY
Army lieutenant Edward (1875-1901) was a Generation 11 Chilton, as was his brother Chauncey, below. See their Allerton writeups for more details, but the brothers were also Allerton, Fuller, Howland-Tilley, Billington, and Eaton descendants.Their line to James Chilton runs as follows: father Everett Cephas Bumpus, Cephas Cushman Bumpus, Lydia (Cushman) Bumpus, Lydia (Fuller) Cushman, Capt. Josiah Fuller, Joanna (Gray) Fuller, John Gray, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife (name unknown), all 3 of the Mayflower. Image from Everett C. Bumpus, In Memoriam (for the love I bear my dead) (Norwood, MA: Norwood Press, 1902), frontispiece.

BUMPUS, EVERETT CEPHAS
Father of Edward Avery (above) and Everett Chauncey (below) and sadly the author of their memorial, Judge Everett C. Bumpus was a Gen. 10 Chilton and an Allerton, Billington, S. Fuller, Howland-Tilley, and Eaton descendant. See the Allerton write-ups of all 3 for the details and full photo credits, and see either son's Chilton writeup here for the lineage. In the photo on the left he is about 55 and on the right he is about 20, younger than his sons. Images from Thomas Crane Public Library in Quincy, MA, courtesy of Digital Commonwealth & from "Civil War," Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division, Washington D.C. If you know where to look, you can see another photo of then-Lt. Bumpus at the Lincoln Cottage in NW Washington, D.C. (Hint: he's the soldier on the right atop the bunker, in a photo identifying them as Co. K instead of F.) |

BUMPUS, EVERETT CHAUNCEY
Like his brother Edward, Chauncey (1873-1901) was a Generation 11 Chilton on his father's side. See their Allerton writeups for more details, but the brothers were also Allerton, Fuller, Howland-Tilley, Billington, and Eaton descendants. Their line to James Chilton runs as follows: father Everett Cephas Bumpus, Cephas Cushman Bumpus, Lydia (Cushman) Bumpus, Lydia (Fuller) Cushman, Capt. Josiah Fuller, Joanna (Gray) Fuller, John Gray, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife (name unknown), all 3 of the Mayflower. Image from Everett C.

CARY, BARZILLAI
Son of Barzillai and Vashti (Snell) Cary, he is currently accepted by the GSMD as a Generation 9 Chilton descendant. He is definitely both a Generation 7/8 and 8/9 Alden-Mullins. Grandfather Moses Cary and his mother Vashti Snell are both noted as Gen 6/7 descendants in part 3 of the Alden silver books and Vashti's mother Betty (Howard) Snell is described there as a Gen 7 Chilton. A look at that book reveals that her father, Robert "Haward" is described as son of "probably Susanna Latham." That is because Chilton granddaughter Susanna Winslow's marriage to Robert Latham is believed to have produced a daughter named Susanna Latham, but all evidence is circumstantial. Someone by that name married John Howard/Haward, Jr. and produced the aforementioned Robert. You will have to prove that to join a lineage society as a Chilton descendant. This image & info on his Cary forebears from Bradford Kingman, History of Brockton (Syracuse: Mason, 1895), p. 87 of the Biographical section at the very end, digitized by the Allen Co (IN) Public Library.

CLARK, DENNIS WOODRUFF
See the writeup on his son Mervin Washburn Clark, below, for the details on proving this Gen 9 Chilton line and for the actual lineage. Dennis W. (b. Farmington, CT 1819, d. Portland, ME 1904) was also a Cooke descendant, as was Mervin. If you wish to prove this line for GSMD membership, do review the text of the book from which this image was taken and also the Clark genealogy (John Clark of Farrington, CT) that Dennis commissioned because he and the earlier generation actually went west, lived in several different states, but wound up back in New England. Thus their paper trail may look confusing. Image & some info from George Thomas Little et al., comps., Genealogical and Family History of the State of Maine, Vol. 4 (NY: Lewis, 1909), pp. 1882-3, digitized by the Library of Congress.

Clark, Estelle
Generation 11 Chilton descendant Estelle (Clark) Woodward (b. Barre, MA 1864), had moved to Chicago as a Mrs. King by 1894, when she married as his second wife Theron Woodward in Oconomowoc, WI. Her line of descent was via Mary Chilton and John Winslow, brother of pilgrim Edward. The Chilton Silver Book gets as far as Mary Harris, Generation 6. Page 154 of the Tristram Dodge genealogy follows her line the rest of the way, through marriages into the Wilbore and Haskins families. Her line runs: Caroline E. (Haskins) Clark, Nathan Haskins, Jr., Clarissa (Wilbur) Haskins, Ebenezer Wilbur, Mary (Harris) Wilbore, Samuel Harris, Mercy (Latham) Harris, Susanna (Winslow) Latham, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton. The surname of her first husband is found in a Woodward genealogy Theron wrote for the NEHGR. (See Woodward, Theron, under Hopkins.)

CLARK, MERVIN WASHBURN
See Mervin's Cooke writeup for more on his and his father Dennis's lineage and the challenges in documenting them. His Gen. 10 Chilton line runs as follows: Dennis Woodruff Clark, Milicent (Washburn) Clark, Joseph Washburn, Joseph, Joseph, Hannah (Latham) Washburn, Susanna (Winslow) Latham, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton. See the Cooke section for that lineage.

DUNLAP, SAMUEL FALES
Son of Lucy Fales and grandson of Samuel Fales, nephew of Haliburton #1 and cousin of Haliburton #2, all below, Samuel was a Gen. 10 Chilton & Rogers, Gen. 9 Warren & Bradford, and Gen. 9/10 Alden-Mullins via Samuel Fales's family plus Gen. 9 Warren twice again via paternal grandmother Abigail Haliburton. See Lucy's writeup for their Chilton lineage and for more detail overall see the family's write-ups in the Alden-Mullins section. His Bradford, Rogers, and Warren lineages are listed in those sections. He was a more distant relative of Stephen Smith Fales, below.

FALES, DECOURSEY
Author of the book from which all these Fales images were taken, DeCoursey (Gen. 11 Chilton & Rogers, Gens. 10 Warren & Bradford, and Gens. 10/11 Alden-Mullins) was born in NY City in 1888. He is the grandson of Haliburton Fales, below. See the description of brother Haliburton Fales #3 for the lineage here and in the Alden-Mullins, Bradford, Rogers, and Warren sections of this web site. DeCoursey chose for his own picture a 1919 painting by Lydia Field Emmett, at age 31, in the uniform of an ensign in the National Naval Volunteers. (This group was transferred to the U.S. Naval Reserve in 1918.)

FALES, HALIBURTON
Brother of Lucy and Samuel Bradford Fales, son of Samuel Fales (all below) and son of Abigail Haliburton on the Warren page, Haliburton (1815-1869) was a Gen. 9 Chilton & Rogers, Gen. 8 Bradford & Warren, and Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins on the paternal side and a Gen. 8 Warren twice again through his mother. He was the father and grandfather of Haliburton Fales # 2 and #3, below. Born in Boston, he resided some time in NY City and died in England (1869) but his remains were shipped home so you will find him in the Fales tomb in Mount Auburn, MA (Cambridge & Watertown) with the others. He traveled extensively in the U.S. and abroad and left lots of correspondence & diaries which might be a great source of genealogical data. Image (a painting my G. P. A.

FALES, HALIBURTON, Jr. (#2)
Son of Haliburton Fales, above, nephew of Lucy, and grandson of Samuel (both below), Haliburton Jr. was b. Boston 1849, moved to NY with his parents in 1854, and was apparently still living when this book was printed. This image, from a 1910 painting by Herman G. Herkomer, was made when he was about 60. (Younger images would be welcome.) I think he did not go by "Jr." in his lifetime because his father died when he was 20 and his son, Haliburton #3, below, signed his name as "Jr." See the writeup for his aunt, Lucy Fales (below) for his Gen. 10 Chilton & Rogers lineages and see the Alden-Mulllins, Bradford, and Warren sections for those lineages.

FALES, HALIBURTON #3 (III or Jr.)
Son of Haliburton, Jr. (#2) and grandson of Haliburton, he would be a Gen 11 Chilton & Rogers plus an Alden-Mullins, Bradford, & Warren. Haliburton #3 (b 1885, presumably in NY City) was the older brother of the author of the book with these images. He apparently broke with tradition by going to Yale instead of Harvard but no further info was given about his occupation. He had 3 children: Samuel, Elizabeth, and Ellen. This portrait is apparently a photograph, as it is credited as being by Underwood & Underwood, an early stereograph, news photography, and aerial photography firm. Haliburton should be 34 or slightly younger. His & DeCoursey's Chilton line would run: Haliburton Fales #2, Haliburton #1, Samuel, Nathaniel Jr., Sarah (Little) Fales, Edward Little, Sarah (Gray) Little, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife (name unknown), these last 3 all of the Mayflower.

FALES, LUCY ANN CHARLOTTE AUGUSTA
For more on this family, see their write-ups, particularly Lucy's in the Alden-Mullins and Warren sections (the latter under "Haliburton.") Lucy, who was the daughter of Samuel Fales, sister of Samuel Bradford Fales and Haliburton Fales, mother of Samuel Fales Dunlap (all on this page), and daughter of Abigail Haliburton on the Warren page, was a Gen. 9 Chilton & Rogers, Gen. 8 Warren & Bradford, and Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins via her father's family plus a Gen. 8 Warren twice via her mother. Her Chilton line runs as follows: Samuel Fales, Nathaniel Jr., Sarah (Little) Fales, Edward Little, Sarah (Gray) Little, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife, all 3 of the Mayflower. (For Lucy's other lines see those writeups.) The Fales images are from a book with lots of full-length oil portraits of these people in opulent garb. Librarian Sarah M. in Washington DC photographed the pictures in the hard copy book at the LOC (thank you!) and discovered they were not in color, but sepia. If a descendant with the rights to publish the original paintings wishes to take photos and send them to me, I will gladly post them here. Image and most of the info from DeCoursey Fales, The Fales Family of Bristol, Rhode Island (privately printed, 1919), p. 123, digitized by the Allen County Public Library.

Father of Lucy and Haliburton, above, and of Samuel Bradford Fales, below; grandfather of Samuel Fales Dunlap and Haliburton Fales 2d, both above; and great-grandfather of Haliburton 3d and DeCoursey, also above; Samuel was a Gen 8 Chilton & Rogers descendant, a Gen. 7 Bradford & Warren, and Gens. 7/8 Alden-Mullins. See Lucy's writeup for the Chilton lineage. Samuel was born in Bristol, RI in 1775 but the family later settled in Boston, where he married Abigail Haliburton, a Warren descendant pictured in that section, in 1801. He died there in 1848. This image is a photograph of a page on which was reproduced in sepia a painting by Gilbert Stuart, made in 1806, when he would have been 31 and already prosperous. He was a first cousin of Stephen Smith Fales, below. Image and info from DeCoursey Fales, The Fales Family of Bristol, Rhode Island (privately printed, 1919), frontispiece and pp. 104-06, digitized by the Allen County Public Library. The page was photographed separately at the LOC by a helpful reader.

FALES, SAMUEL BRADFORD
Son of Samuel, brother of Lucy, & uncle of Samuel Fales Dunlap, above, Samuel was a Gen. 9 Chilton & Rogers, Gen. 8 Warren & Bradford, and Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins via his father and a Gen. 8 Warren twice more via his mother, Abigail Haliburton. See Lucy's writeup for the lineage. Samuel Bradford Fales (1804-1880) attended Harvard and by his late 20s was establishing himself as an art collector in Philadelphia, with a reputation that led him being elected a director of the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts. The catalog of his collection, auctioned when he died, numbered 235 pages. During the Civil War he was heavily involved in what sounds like a precursor of the USO, the Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon in Philadelphia, which fed as many as 7,000 troops in a single day. It had 3 hospitals, bathing, and eating facilities. The book from which this image was taken says he was the rare civilian honored by membership in the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States (MOLLUS), serving as commander of a council. Apparently he remained unmarried and had no children but when researching a family, always cast a wide net and look for siblings, even childless ones. Samuel may be a treasure trove of Fales and Haliburton data. A search of the National Union Catalog of Manuscript Collections (NUCMC) revealed that the Saloon documents and ephemera are in the McAllister Collection at the Library Company of Philadelphia and the papers of Samuel and an uncle, businessman George Fales, are at the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan. Image & info from DeCoursey Fales, The Fales Family of Bristol, Rhode Island (privately printed, 1919), pp. 128-133, digitized by the Allen County Public Library. The picture was photographed separately at the LOC from a hardcover edition, by a helpful reader to get a sharper picture than scanned books provide. If you find a picture of Samuel as a younger man or with a shorter beard, and it's in the public domain, I would be glad to post it here.

FALES, STEPHEN SMITH
A Gen 8 Chilton and Gen 7 Warren descendant, Stephen was born in Bristol, RI in 1783 and died there in 1839. This portrait was supposed to have been painted in Holland, 1804, when he would have been 21. A better scan would be much appreciated. Stephen was a master mariner and lived for 20 years in Cuba, with one of his children supposedly born there and two married there (to Americans.) Thus if you are tracing this line and reach a brick wall, try Havana. (Some Cuban records may be in Spain.) Stephen's Chilton line, which the Silver Book tracks through the birth of Gen 6 and the NEHGS site tracks via RI VRs to Stephen, runs as follows: William Fales, Sarah (Little) Fales, Edward Little, Sarah (Gray) Little, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife (name unknown), all 3 of the Mayflower. Stephen would have been a first cousin of Samuel Fales, above. See Stephen's Warren writeup for that line.

FORD, MICHAEL JR./2D
A Gen. 8 Chilton descendant, Michael was also a double Warren descendant (Gens. 7 & 8) through his father, and through his mother, Rhoda Copeland, a Gen. 6/7 Alden-Mullins. He is personally listed in vol. 4 of the Alden Silver Book. See the Alden-Mullins & Warren sections for those lines and more details about him, his extended family, and his War of 1812 experience. Michael (actually the 3rd of that name) was from an extended family of shipbuilders, born in Scituate MA in 1784 and died in South Scituate in 1788. His Chilton line runs as follows: Michael Ford, Orphan (Waterman) Ford, Elizabeth (Arnold) Waterman, Elizabeth (Gray) Arnold, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife (name unknown), all 3 of the Mayflower. A larger image would be welcome. Image and info from L.

GRENDELL, ABIGAIL C.
She began as a schoolteacher and began hiring knitters, according to the author of the book with this picture, at one point as many as 1500 women from Penobscot, ME and the surrounding area, making mittens in their homes. This began in 1864 and in 1882 the business began using machines. Abby (b. 1839) was eventually the largest taxpayer in town. Her married name was Condon and she did have one child who survived to have his own son (Brainard Condon, son Guy) as of the date of this book. There may be more Pilgrims in Abigail's background but the one I could find most readily was this Gen 10 Chilton line: Clarinda (Orcutt) Grendell, Galen Orcutt, Jacob, Deliverance (Kingman) Orcutt, Desire (Harris) Kingman, Mercy (Latham) Harris, Susanna (Winslow) Latham, Mary (Chilton) Winslow and her parents James & Mrs. Chilton, all 3 of the Mayflower.

Harris, Benjamin Winslow
U.S. Congressman Benjamin Harris (R-MA) (1823-1907), was a descendant of at least 8 Mayflower Families, going only from data on the Harris side. (His mother, Mary Winslow Thomas, was described in the book from which this photo came as a descendant of Kenelm Winslow, brother of pilgrim Edward. She was also a Warren) Benjamin was a Generation 10 Chilton descendant. He was twice a Generation 8 Brown descendant from the marriage of an earlier Benjamin Harris, the congressman's great-grandfather, to Sarah Snow. Both were Generation 5 Brown. Benjamin was also a Generation 8 Bradford, Generation 8/9 Alden-Mullins & Warren, and Generation 9 Cooke & Hopkins descendant. The Chilton & Alden Silver Books go only to Arthur Harris, his great-great grandfather. Great-grandfather Benjamin is the final Harris entry in the Cooke Silver Book.The Brown and Hopkins Silver Books take the line to his grandfather, the first Deacon William Harris. Information on his Warren & Bradford descent is given in the description of his son Robert O. Harris, below. Info and image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), pp. 54-56, scanned by S. Mackowski.
Harris, Robert Orr
Son of Rep. Benjamin Winslow Harris, above, Robert O. Harris was a Generation 11 Chilton descendant, a Generation 9 Brown (twice) and Bradford, a Generation 9/10 Alden-Mullins & Warren, and a Generation 10 Cooke & Hopkins. The book from which this photo comes stated that he was a member of the General Society of Mayflower Descendants (GSMD) and in addition to the lines discernable from his father's writeup, also claimed descent from William Bradford and Richard Warren. This turned out to be also through his father, via great-grandmother Alice (Mitchell) Harris, wife if the 1st Deacon William Harris. She was daughter of Cushing Mitchell and Margaret (---). Cushing appears as Generation 6 in v3 of the Richard Warren Silver Book, and his descent is via Edward, Alice Bradford, and Mercy Warren (Gen 3) who had married John Bradford, a Generation 2 descendant of the pilgrim. His mother's family (Julia A. Orr, daughter of Robert Orr, esq. of Boston and Melinda Wilbur) merits examination for Pilgrim links as well. Info and image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), pp. 54-57, scanned by S. Mackowski.
HEWETT, HERMAN
Thanks to the marriage of his great grandparents, Joseph Hewett and Ann Waterman (cousins) in the 1760s, Herman was twice a Generation 8 Warren on his father's side and a Generation 9 Chilton descendant. His Chilton line runs as follows: Joseph Hewett, Joseph, Ann (Waterman) Hewett, Thomas Waterman, Elizabeth (Arnold) Waterman, Elizabeth (Gray) Arnold, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton of the Mayflower. The Chilton book gets as far as Ann's father Thomas Waterman, but the Warren book includes her birth as Gen 6. However, her marriage to Gen 6 Joseph Hewett #2 is not noted in vol. 3. Ann's birth date matches that given for Ann (Waterman) Hewett in the book from which this image was taken, though. The additional information on Harlow antecedents conflicts with other records but there may be other Pilgrim lines in Herman's family as well.

Horton, Everett Southworth
Major Everett Southworth Horton of Attleboro (1836-1911) served in the Civil War and as a MA legislator. Everett (and younger brother James, below) was a Generation 11 Chilton descendant, via his mother, Sarah Southworth Smith, whose grandmother Molly Southworth was granddaughter of the Constant Southworth listed as Generation 6 in the Chilton-More Silver Book. The son of Gideon Martin Horton as well, Everett was allegedly a Generation 8 Billington via his paternal grandmother, Pearcy (Martin) Horton, great-granddaughter of English immigrant John Martin and Mercy Billington, a Generation 3 Mayflower descendant. The book from which this photo came gives the 2 intermediate generations as Hezekiah Martins 1 & 2. Silver Book Vols. 5 & 21 list no Hezekiah's, but the NEHGS does show John & Mercy Martin of Rehoboth having a son Hezekiah, who had a son Hezekiah, who had a daughter Pearcy who married Cromwell Horton, as this book states. Image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. I (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 442, digitized by the Boston Public Library.
Horton, James Jackson
Youngest sibling of Everett Southworth Horton, above, James (b. 1841) was a Generation 11 Chilton descendant, via his mother, whose grandmother Molly Southworth was granddaughter of the Constant Southworth listed as Generation 6 in the Chilton-More Silver Book. James was also allegedly a Generation 8 Billington via his paternal grandmother, Pearcy (Martin) Horton, great-granddaughter of English immigrant John Martin and Mercy Billington, a Generation 3 Mayflower descendant. The book from which this photo came gives the 2 intermediate generations as Hezekiah Martins 1 & 2.

HOWARD, BLANCHE WILLIS
Blanche Willis (Howard) von Truffel (1847-1898) was probably a Gen. 9 Chilton via a paternal line. The Chilton Silver Book gets as far as Gen. 6, Daniel Howard of Bridgewater, b. 1750. Her line runs as follows: Daniel Mosely Howard, Daniel, Daniel, Robert, Susanna (Latham) Howard, Susanna (Winslow) Latham, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife (name unknown), all 3 of the Mayflower. The "probably" is because there has been some controversy over whether Susanna (Latham) Howard was the daughter of Susanna Winslow and Robert Latham. Also, the Howard genealogy and some other sources say that her name might have been "Sarah" Latham when there might have been a second wife named Sarah. The General Society of Mayflower Descendants does accept this line but as always, reserves the right to close it or any other line should new evidence warrant it. And remember, if you are researching a Howard ancestor, look for "Haward" and "Hayward," as they were often the same people.

HOWARD, DANIEL S.
Presumably the "S." is for "Sturtevant," but I have not seen that verified anywhere yet. Older brother of Gorham B. Howard, below, Daniel is also a probable Gen. 9 Chilton plus an Eaton, Standish, Doty, Alden, Mullins, Priest, Hopkins, and Cooke. See his and Gorham's other write-ups for the lineages.

HOWARD, GORHAM BRADFORD
As the younger brother (b. 1827) of Daniel S. Howard, above, Gorham B. Howard was also a probable Gen. 9 Chilton, plus a Gen. 8 Eaton, Standish & Doty (twice), Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins, and Gen. 9 Priest, Hopkins & Cooke. The birth of their grandfather, Ephraim Sturtevant, is in the Eaton silver book. The brothers' proposed Chilton line runs: Lucy (Sturtevant) Howard, Abigail (Howard) Sturtevant, Robert Howard/Haward, Robert Haward, "prob. Susanna (Latham) Haward," Susannah (Winslow) Latham, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife (name unknown), all 3 of the Mayflower. (Mary Chilton married John Winslow, brother of pilgrim Edward Winslow.) In the Chilton book this family is called "Haward" and in many Silver Books they will be listed as Howard, Haward, and/or Hayward. If anyone finds out that he was named "Gorham Bradford" due to some genealogical link to John Howland's son-in-law or to William Bradford, please let me know the particulars.

HOWARD, HEMAN
Like his grandfather Edwin, above, author Heman Howard was a Chilton descendant, but of the 10th generation. Heman was additionally an Alden-Mullins via Edwin’s wife Lucy (Brett) Howard. (See his Alden-Mullins writeup for the ancestor list.) Heman’s Chilton line runs as follows: Edwin Dwelly Howard, Edwin Howard, Elijah Howard, Mary (Howard) Howard, Edward Howard, Susanna (Latham) Howard, Susanna (Winslow) Latham, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife (name unknown), the last 3 all of the Mayflower.

JONES, RACHEL B.
Her picture is on Digital Commonwealth as "Mrs. G. H. Cushman" courtesy of the Brockton, MA Public Library, but there was only one G. H. Cushman in town then (see him in the Alden, Allerton, Brewster, Cooke, Doty, Hopkins, and Warren sections.) George Homer Cushman had just one wife, Rachel B. Jones (1822-1894) and the two of them shared a residence in the 1850 census and a gravestone later with her parents, Nathan & Lucia (Howard) Jones. (See them on findagrave.com.) Lucia was the link to Rachel's Chilton, Alden-Mullins, and Cooke lines. (See those sections for her lines.) Rachel's Gen 9 Chilton line runs as follows: Lucia (Howard) Jones, Robert Howard, Robert, Robert, Susanna (Latham) Howard, Susanna (Winslow) Latham, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, with parents James & Mrs. Chilton. (You can join the Mayflower Society as a descendant of any of these three passengers. The birth of the last Robert is in the Alden silver book.

LORING, EMMA
Emma, b 1829, was "educated at Yarmouth Academy and taught school for a time," according to the author of the book with this photo. Thus she may have left a better photographic record than other women of her day. She was said to have been a Gen 9 Chilton and a Gen 7 Soule descendant through the same grandmother. See Emma's Soule writeup for more info and that lineage. Her Chilton line runs: Alethea (Drinkwater) Loring, Sylvanus Drinkwater, Jane/Jennet (Latham) Drinkwater, Thomas Latham, James, Susanna (Winslow) Latham, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton - but you will have to prove everything after the birth of Sylvanus in 1747. Emma left one son, Frederick Odell Conant (b 1857) of Portland, ME, president of the Maine Genealogical Society. He did a lot of research that the author used so if you are also researching this family try searching the National Union Catalog of Manuscript Collections (NUCMC) or the user-friendly version, ArchiveGrid, to see if he left his collection anywhere.

Emma, b 1829, was "educated at Yarmouth Academy and taught school for a time," according to the author of the book with this photo. Thus she may have left a better photographic record than other women of her day. She was said to have been a Gen 9 Chilton and a Gen 7 Soule descendant through the same grandmother. See Emma's Soule writeup for more info and that lineage. Her Chilton line runs: Alethea (Drinkwater) Loring, Sylvanus Drinkwater, Jane/Jennet (Latham) Drinkwater, Thomas Latham, James, Susanna (Winslow) Latham, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton - but you will have to prove everything after the birth of Sylvanus in 1747.

LUCAS, SARAH
Sarah (Lucas) Martin's closest relative on this page is Emma Loring, above. The book with Sarah's picture said she was a descendant of Mary Chilton and that her parents lived in Oxford Co, ME, so finding her line meant looking for Lathams who went there before 1833. The GSMD silver books on the NEHGS site (americanancestors.org) were helpful, and the NEHGS now (7.31.2019) has federal census "hits" online. It also turned out to have some helpful vital records and a probate record. Internet Archive had a downloadable history of Buckfield, ME and Sarah's mother, grandfather, etc. were nicely written up in it. I found two possible Latham lines and noted that one of them had a "Chilton Latham" - a sign this family had handed down the lore of Mary Chilton being the first Mayflower passenger to step ashore. Typically when a family has a memory like that it is accurate. That said, they missed her Cooke & Warren lines (see those sections for the lineage) and possibly others. Sarah was born in Guilford, ME in 1844, per the author, married Osgood P. Martin in 1870, and had 3 Martin sons who lived to adulthood, though Harold C. "a promising young physician...died in 1900." Sarah's Gen 9 line, beginning with her mother, runs: Sally (Latham) Lucas, Barzillai Latham, Woodward, Charles, Chilton, Susanna (Winslow) Latham, Mary (Chilton) Winslow & both parents (all 3 passengers.) The silver book gets as far as the birth of Woodward - who is redlined on the DAR GRS for a problematic application, the last one submitted about 45 years ago. The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) would love someone to join or submit a supplemental application on this line, and Oswood Martin was also said to make someone DAR or Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) eligible. (Descendants also qualify for War of 1812 & Civil War (Union side) lineage societies.) Image from Sprague's Journal of Maine History, Vol. 4, No. 1 (Dover, ME: John Francis Sprague, 1916), 144 digitized by the findmypast PERSI Collection, obtained on Internet Archive. If someone has a hard copy & can digitize this image, Sarah would appreciate it very much.

MANNING, FRANKLIN WASHBURN
Great grandson of Samuel Washburn, below, Franklin (1874-1898) is another example of a young man whose photo serves as a memento to a soldier who died in the service. Franklin was in the Spanish-American War and died of disease on the way back from Cuba. He was buried at sea. His Gen 11 Chilton lineage would run: Grace LeBaron (Washburn) Manning, Franklin Washburn, Samuel, Jacob Washburn, Miles Washburn, Ebenezer, Hannah (Latham) Washburn, Susanna (Winslow) Latham, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife (name unknown), all 3 of the Mayflower. The writeup of Samuel's sister Laura contains more background info, including a caution about having to prove this line before attempting to submit it to any lineage group. See his Cooke writeup for that line. Info from George T. Washburn, Ebenezer Washburn: His Ancestors and Descendants with Some Connected Families (Pasumalai, South India: American Mission Lenox Press, 1913), 80a, 81-2, 84-5. Image from Mary LeBaron Stockwell, Descendants of Francis LeBaron of Plymouth, Mass. (Boston: Marvin, 1904), pp. 201, digitized by the New York Public Library. Both books digitized by the New York Public Libraries. Note: This same image (actually full length) is in William H. Manning, The Genealogical and Biographical History of the Manning Families of New England and Descendants, from the Settlement in America to Present Time (Salem: Salem Press, 1902), p. 645, digitized by the Library of Congress. This volume contains no info on his maternal Mayflower line, though.

MASON, THOMAS FALES
A Gen. 9 Chilton and Gen. 8 Warren, Thomas was a Mayflower descendant via his maternal great-grandmother, Sarah Little of RI. Though this image comes from a book on New Yorkers (all of them white males), it happened to mention that his mother was descended from someone (unspecified) on the Mayflower and that the family was from RI and Bristol County, MA. Again, by 1900 family memories of those who had moved away had faded but they did remember that someone definitely had been aboard the ship. The known facts made it look plausible, thus worth investigating. Find a Fales genealogy book with Thomas, his parents, and grandparents was helpful, especially because it said which branch of Bristol County Faleses descended from which Pilgrim, and said the Littles were Warrens and Chiltons. Thomas Mason's Chilton line turned out to run as follows: Sarah (Fales) Mason, Thomas Fales, Sarah (Little) Fales, Edward Little, Sarah (Gray) Little, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife (name unknown), these 3 of the Mayflower. (See his Warren writeup for that line.) Since his Warren line is one generation shorter, that Silver Book was more helpful. Thomas's namesake grandfather was listed as Gen. 6 in Vol. 2., 2d ed. (Hint: anytime someone born within a generation or 2 after the Revolution has a middle name that is a surname, look upwards in the family line for someone with that same combination as his or her first and last name. The two names were almost always "together" during that period, unlike later times when parents would name a child after both grandfathers, or two brothers, etc. and the baby was given 2 Christian names.) RI Fales VRs are on the NEHGS site. Image and some info from Mitchell C. Harrison, comp., New York State's Prominent and Progressive Men, vol. 3 (NY: NY Tribune, 1900) p. 224, digitized by the Library of Congress.

MORRISON, ALVA S.
The "S" is probably for "Southworth," his mother's family name. Alva S. is the nephew of Amasa Southworth and cousin of Consider Southworth, both below, which makes him a Gen. 9 Chilton descendant. Alva S., born in 1835, was in the family yarn & underwear business, married twice, and had 5 children, per the book with this photo. (Check out the Southworth entries for more details.) Alva S.'s line runs: Mira (Southworth) Morrison, Consider Southworth, Jedediah, Constant, Edward, Desire (Gray) Southworth, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife (name unknown), all 3 Mayflower passengers. His father Alva Morrison's image is also in this book and the two do not resemble each other much, so maybe this is the face of a Southworth. Image and info from D. Hamilton Hurd, History of Norfolk County, Massachusetts, with Biographical Sketches of its Pioneers and Prominent Men (Philadelphia: Lewis, 1884), pp. 134-5, 421, digitized by the Library of Congress.

PACKARD, DEWITT CLINTON
North Bridgewater/Brockton's longtime city clerk in the late 1800s-early 1900s, DeWitt Clinton Packard was a Generation 9/10 Alden-Mullins twice. (See that section for those lines.) Through his mother's Harris ancestors he was also a Gen. 10 Chilton descendant as follows: Hannah (Packard) Packard, Mehitable (Harris) Packard, Abiel Harris, Seth, Samuel, Mercy (Latham) Harris, Susanna (Winslow) Latham, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife (name unknown), all passengers on the Mayflower. DeWitt's father was named Washburn Packard, so do not be surprised to find other Mayflower ancestors in his family tree, although he himself is an example of the post-Revolutionary phenomenon of parents naming their children after prominent national and local figures instead of Biblical figures and close family. Image from Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, v. 2 (Chicago: J. M. Beers, 1912), p. 682, digitized by the Boston Public Library but scanned from the hardcover copy by me at the Library of Congress.

PAINE, ELIZABETH
The caption for this image in the book that published it calls her "Elizabeth Bridgham" and her birth and marriage are recorded in the Richard Warren silver book, part 2, but to "James" Bridgham, while this book called him "Samuel Willard" Bridgham, as does findagrave and the NEHGS reproductions of RI vital records. Samuel was mayor of Providence and attorney general for RI so I'm thinking the silver book people made a mistake. (Also, they had a son and grandson named Samuel. Son Samuel married a Fales cousin - the Mayflower line-carrier side of the family - so their son Samuel was a double everything.) Elizabeth (1776-1853) was said to have been orphaned very early so raised by aunts in Providence. The rest of her picture in this book shows her wearing very fine garb in keeping with the full-size Fales & Haliburton images I cropped drastically to fit this web site. Elizabeth also shares part of the Warren ancestry of her Fales cousins, above and you can see their lines in the same sections. Elizabeth's Gen 8 Chilton line runs, beginning with her mother: Elizabeth (Fales) Paine, Sarah (Little) Fales, Edward Little, Sarah (Gray) Little, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife, all 3 of the Mayflower. Image & just enough info to make her identifiable from Representative Men and Old Families of Rhode Island, Vol. I (Chicago: J. H. Beers, 1908), pp. 80, 82, digitized by BYU.

PERKINS, MERRITT G[REENWOOD]
A Generation 10 Chilton descendant, Merritt Perkins was born in 1864 in Bridgewater but as an adult lived in New Jersey, where he joined the Mayflower Society as a Chilton & Cooke descendant, Sons of the American Revolution, and the Order of the Founders and Patriots of America. (The latter requires both a 17th century ancestor and a Revolutionary War soldier in the father's or mother's father's direct line.) Merritt's Chilton line runs: John Perkins, Asa Jr., Asa, David Jr., Martha (Haward/Howard/Hayward) Perkins, prob. Susanna (Latham) Haward/Howard/Hayward, Susanna (Winslow) Latham, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife (name unknown), all 3 aboard the Mayflower. The "prob." - for "probably" - comes straight from the Chilton Silver Book and indicates that scholarship indicates this is the person but with less than ideal proof. For now, you may still apply to the Mayflower Society and be accepted via that link. So far I have not identified Merritt's Cooke line. Can you help?

SAMPSON, LEONICE MARSTON
Someone gave a paper on Leonice to the Old Town (Taunton) Historical Society in 1897 and included this very nice picture. A close relation of Maria Louisa Sampson (below) and her Ricketson children (above), Leonice was also a Brewster, Alden-Mullins, Warren, and Samson descendant. (Check those sections for the lineages.) Leonice was named for both parents, Leonice Holmes and Marston Sampson, and was born in Plymouth in 1811. She married judge Joseph W. Moulton of NY in RI in 1833 and they became world travelers. She had at least one child, a daughter, who had a child, so there are descendants to be found. Leonice may have had siblings or half-siblings, too, and definitely had cousins. Here is her Gen 10 Chilton line, beginning with her father: Marston Sampson, Hannah (Cooper) Sampson, Richard Cooper, Hannah (Rider) Cooper, Mary (Southworth) Rider, Desire (Gray) Southworth, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife, all 3 of the Mayflower. Image and info from John Ordronaux, Memoir of Leonice Marston Sampson Moulton, Read at the Request of the Old Colony Historical Society at Taunton, Mass., July 2, 1897 (Taunton: C Hack & Son, 1898), frontispiece, 8, 15, digitized by the Boston Public Library.

SAMPSON, MARIA LOUISA
Louisa Ricketson, as she was known in adult life, was a Chilton, Alden-Mullins, Samson, Standish, and possible Warren descendant via paternal grandmother Hannah Cooper. Her Gen 10 Chilton line runs: Zabdiel Sampson, Hannah (Cooper) Sampson, Richard Cooper, Hannah (Rider) Cooper, Mary (Southworth) Rider, Desire (Gray) Southworth, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife, all 3 passengers on the Mayflower. The Chilton book gets as far as the birth of Hannah Rider but the Henry Samson silver book Part 3 reveals Hannah's marriage, son Richard, and Richard's daughter and grandson. The only VRs still needed were Maria Louisa's 1813 birth and her 1834 marriage to Daniel Ricketson of New Bedford. These were found on the NEHGS site. See her Samson writeup for more information on Louisa and children Arthur, Walton, Emma Louise, and Anna Ricketson and the Mystery/Fun Photos section for the Warren puzzler.

SHAW, ICHABOD
Father of Sally Shaw, below, Ichabod should be a Gen. 7 Chilton. See Sally's writeup for the lineage and for details on why I say "should." This image was painted in the same year and by the same artist that did his daughter's painting. Ichabod (1734-1821) would have been 79 years old. Both he and his wife were painted with dark eyes so Sally could have inherited hers from either one. Image & info from Benjamin Shurtleff (6th), Descendants of William Shurtleff of Plymouth and Marshfield, Massachusetts, vol. 1 (Revere, MA: 1912), pp. 145-6, digitized by the New York Public Library.

SHAW, SALLY
Sally Shaw (1778-1845) is a distant cousin of the 2 Edward Southworths, below, and a Gen. 8 Chilton. The info on her lineage came from vol. 1 of a book on the Shurtleff clan (husband Benjamin is on the Allerton page, Gen. 7) and the Chilton Silver Book agrees with that author's summary of her lineage through the birth of Desire Southworth in Middleboro, MA, 1707. The NEHGS database has vital records for the succeeding generations but nothing that specifies that anyone was the child of a particular person. Thus, if you were to turn in this lineage to the Mayflower Society you would still have to prove the crucial parent-child link. For now I will assume that someone has done so, and the writeup on her husband said that he was a longtime member of the NEHGS, but caveat emptor. Sally's line should run: Ichabod Shaw, Desire (Southworth) Shaw, Ichabod Southworth, Desire (Gray) Southworth, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Gray, James Chilton & wife (name unknown), all 3 aboard the Mayflower. This image is a digitization of a B&W book print from an 1813 painting by Ethan Allen Greenwood, presumably in color. Sally would be about 35 years old.

A sea captain and son of sea captain Humphrey Alden Shockley, William was a Gen. 10 Chilton and a Gen. 8/9 Alden-Mullins descendant thanks to paternal grandmother Sarah "Sally" (Alden) Shockley, named in the Alden Silver Book part 3 as the daughter of Humphrey Alden (also a sea captain.) The Chilton Silver Book gets only to the birth of Austin, but the Alden book reveals that Austin moved to Maine, where his elderly father came and lived out his days with him. Maine is an easy place to lose track of people and many times the next generation left in search of work. William's Chilton line runs: Humphrey Alden Shockley, Sarah (Alden) Shockley, Humphrey Alden, Austin, Elizabeth (Arnold) (Waterman) Alden, Elizabeth (Gray) Arnold, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife (name unknown), all 3 on the Mayflower. See his Alden-Mullins writeup for more details. Image from Franklyn Howland, A History of the Town of Acushnet (New Bedford: author, 1907), p. 343, digitized by the Library of Congress.

SOUTHWORTH, AMASA
A Gen. 9 Chilton descendant, Amasa was born in 1807 and died before the publication of the book from which this image was taken. A mill owner in business with a brother, Consider A. Southworth, he left many descendants. The Southworth naming pattern involves a lot of repetition and numerous children so it is easy to get lost, but the Consider below is Amasa's nephew. Here is Amasa's line: Consider Southworth, Jedediah, Constant, Edward, Desire (Gray) Southworth, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife (name unknown), all 3 Mayflower passengers. The Chilton silver book stops with the birth of the Constant born in Middleboro 1712, i.e. Amasa's great grandfather, so turn to the vital records on NEHGS for proof beyond this point. Fortunately the book with this image did name wives and tell something about them (not all do.) That will help you keep your Southworths straight. Image and info from D. Hamilton Hurd, History of Norfolk County, Massachusetts, with Biographical Sketches of its Pioneers and Prominent Men (Philadelphia: Lewis, 1884), p. 421, digitized by the Library of Congress.

SOUTHWORTH, CONSIDER
Also a Gen. 9 Chilton descendant, this Consider was born in Stoughton, MA in 1840 and was the product of his father's first marriage. Nephew of Amasa, above, his line runs: Asahel Southworth, Consider, Jedediah, Constant, Edward, Desire (Gray) Southworth, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife (name unknown but you can still join the GSMD as her descendant. Put "Mrs. James Chilton" as the passenger.). See Amasa's writeup for more detail. Image and info from D.

SOUTHWORTH, [Col.] EDWARD
The Southworths were an early southeastern MA family that married into several Pilgrim families but named many of the males Edward or Constant. Col. Edward is a much older cousin of the Edward below; his grandfather Perez Southworth being the older brother of Abiah Southworth. (The latter family moved to Pelham and the children born after 1799 are not listed in the book from which this Edward's photo was taken.) Col. Edward was "first clerk in the town" (presumably one of the Bridgewaters) and a Gen. 8 Chilton & Gen. 7 Cooke descendant. His line runs: Perez Southworth, Edward, Edward, Desire (Gray) Southworth, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife (name unknown), 3 passengers on the Mayflower. Note that neither is a descendant of Pilgrim Edward Winslow but are collateral descendants via brother John Winslow, who married Mary Chilton. See the Cooke writeup for that line. Image and info from Bradford Kingman, History of North Bridgewater (Boston: author, 1866), pp. 650-54, digitized by the University of California Libraries, and verified by vital records on the NEHGS site.

SOUTHWORTH, EDWARD
This Edward (b. 1804 Pelham, MA - d. 1869 West Springfield, MA) is a Gen. 8 Chilton and Gen. 7 Cook descendant, and first cousin of Col. Edward, above. Nathaniel Southworth, son of immigrant Constant (whose mother married 2d, Gov. Wm. Bradford) wed Desire Gray, daughter of a niece of pilgrim Edward Winslow, and a Chilton descendant. Thus our Edward's Chilton line runs: Abiah Southworth, Edward, Edward, Desire (Gray) Southworth, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife (name unknown), all 3 Mayflower passengers. The Chilton Silver Book will get you as far as the birth of Edward's grandfather Edward Southworth, 1718, in Bridgewater. Edward's third wife was widow Harriet Anne (Thurston) Deane, thus his inclusion in the Thurston genealogy. For his Cooke line, see his writeup in that section.

SOUTHWORTH, THOMAS
Also a distant cousin of the Southworths above, Thomas (1810-1878) was a Gen. 9 Chilton but a Gen. 7 Howland, and that means you can get a little farther using the GSMD silver book, vol. 23, Part 1 than you can with the Chilton book. Specifically, you can get to his grandfather. The NEHGS has VRs of Carver online and that gives you Thomas's birth. Since there is a big gap in the online vital records where his parents should be, I figured he was from Middleboro and that proved correct. If you join a lineage society on this family, you will need to make that jump using other sources. The book from which this image was taken apparently ran it because the author had it. Thomas Southworth is mentioned here and there, typically on lists of people, but there is no writeup about him or his clan. Knowing who else was in Carver, I found a family history for a neighbor and sure enough, there he was, due to the intermarriage one finds in the 1600s & 1700s. Starting with his father, Thomas's Chilton line runs: Thomas Southworth, Gideon, Gideon, Nathaniel, Desire (Gray) Southworth, Mary (Winslow) Gray, Mary (Chilton) Winslow and her parents James and Mrs. Chilton (her name unknown), all of the Mayflower. There may be more Pilgrims in his line; it is particularly worth checking the maternal Haskins and Haskell lines. Image from Henry S.

WASHBURN, ABRAHAM
See Laura, below, for questions about this family. If they hold up to scrutiny, Abraham (1753-1851), as Laura and Samuel's paternal uncle, would be a Gen. 7 Chilton and Cooke. A sharper picture in the public domain would be appreciated. Info and image from George T.

Son of George Thomas Washburn, below, David was a probable Gen. 10 Chilton and Cooke descendant. See George, Laura, and Samuel Washburn's write-ups for why I say "probable." George's shows the lineage. If you prove this family, please let me know. Image and some info from George T.

WASHBURN, EDWIN MILES
Laura and Samuel, below, had a brother named Miles, and this is his son. The caption under the illustration says "Miles" but the list of illustrations in the front of the book says "Edwin Miles," and the text mentions an accident that left the younger man minus a hand. The full image in the book does show a man with a missing hand. If this line is approved Edwin Miles would be a Gen. 9 Chilton and Cooke. Since Edwin Miles Washburn married a Brewster, his children will be in that section as well. (See Oliver Miles Washburn.) See Laura's writeup for his Chilton lineage. Info and image from George T.

WASHBURN, GEORGE THOMAS
Author of the book from which most of the Washburn images on this page were taken, he was brother of Edwin Miles Washburn, above, and thus also a nephew of Laura and Samuel, below. He was an overseas missionary, thus the Indian publication info and presumably he had to rely on handwritten correspondence that went by ship and helpers back in the U.S. to research this book. This line would need some work to prove but IMO it is probable. The Gen. 9 Chilton lineage would run: Miles Washburn, Jacob, Miles, Ebenezer, Hannah (Latham) Washburn, Susanna (Winslow) Latham, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife (name unknown) of the Mayflower. George's Cooke lineage is on that page. Info and image from George T.

WASHBURN, LAURA
This one needs some proving. Both the Chilton and Cooke Silver Books get as far as the birth of her supposed grandfather, Miles Washburn, in CT 1730/31. After that, an online search of the Barbour Collection digitized thus far on the NEHGS site turns up the birth of her supposed mother, Phebe Northrup, but that's it. However, this book has excruciating amounts of detail so I suspect it's fine. You would just need to get CT records and their probate documents are hard to obtain remotely (i.e., online.) I have heard you essentially have to hire someone there to go to the central archives and find them for you. The reason is that some eons ago CT decided to do probate by "district" and not by county, town, or state. Anyway, Laura should be a Gen. 8 Chilton and Cooke, as would be her brother Samuel, below. See the Cooke section for that writeup but her Gen 8 Chilton line runs: Jacob Washburn, Miles Washburn, Ebenezer, Hannah (Latham) Washburn, Susanna (Winslow) Latham, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife (name unknown) of the Mayflower. Incidentally, the "Miles" name has nothing to do with Capt. Standish. Miles Washburn's mother was Patience Miles of Derby, CT. Laura married a Thomas Blossom so further images could possibly be found searching under that name. They had no children. Info and image from George T.

WASHBURN, OLIVER MILES
Prof. Oliver M. Washburn was a Brewster on his mother's side and if Laura and Samuel Washburn are Cooke and Chilton descendants, then so is he, Gen. 10, as son of their nephew Edwin Miles Washburn, above. The Chilton line would run: Edwin Miles Washburn, Miles, Jacob, Miles, Ebenezer, Hannah (Latham) Washburn, Susanna (Winslow) Latham, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James Chilton & wife (name unknown), all 3 on the Mayflower.

WASHBURN, SAMUEL
Brother of Laura, above, Samuel (1786-1880) will present the same challenges to his descendants. He would also be a Gen. 8 Chilton and Cooke. See Laura's write-ups for details. He and Laura may have been born in Lenox, CT according to the confusing land transactions described in the book from which this photo was taken. Apparently near relations lived in both CT and VT, so if you think your Washburns and Northrups can't be the same people because yours were in VT, look again. Samuel married a Lenox woman, too, a Betsey Porter, daughter of Capt. John Porter and presumably his wife. Samuel was a blacksmith, a farmer, and in business with a wheelwright; lived in Berkshire, CT and the father of three. Image and info from George T.

WINSLOW, ANNA GREEN
A Gen. 7 Chilton descendant, Anna's Winslow surname come from her descent from John Winslow, brother of pilgrim Edward. The information I have on her comes from a book you can download from the Internet Archive, her diary, annotated by an editor who added the genealogical information. Everything agrees with the Chilton silver book but I found no birth info on Anna herself on the NEHGS site. She was born in Nova Scotia approximately 1760 and died, according to a family tradition cited by the author, in Marshfield in 1779, though the author refers to a family letter of 1783 that seems to imply Anna lived longer. Anna did not have children and her age when this image was made is not known. The diary covers her school years in Boston in the early 1770s, but it is hard to find dates. Anna's Gen 7 Chilton line, starting with her father Joshua, below, would run: Joshua Winslow, John, John, John, Mary (Chilton) Winslow, James and Mrs. Chilton (her name is unknown), all 3 of the Mayflower. Image and some info from Alice Morse Earle, ed., Diary of Anna Green Winslow, a Boston School Girl of 1771 (Boston & NY: Houghton Mifflin, 1894), pp. iii, ix-xiii, frontispiece, digitized by the New York Public Library.

WINSLOW, CAMERON McRAE
Findagrave.com has a photo of his father, Cdr. Francis Winslow, USN and this one of Admiral Cameron McRae Winslow comes from the Library of Congress (which has low-density versions that won't enlarge well) via wikipedia (which has the same photo from about 1913, but in a version I could crop and use here. Francis served in both the Mexican War and the Civil War, Cameron served in the Spanish-American War and WWI, and his son Cameron Jr. served as well. See the writeup on his father's cousin, John Ancrum Winlsow, below, for more information. Briefly, Cameron's Gen 9 line should run: Francis Winslow, John Winslow, Rev. Edward, Joshua, Edward, Edward, Mary (Chilton) Winslow and her parents, Mr. & Mrs. James Chilton, all 3 of the Mayflower. (No promises, though aboutt John & Rev Edward being correct.)

WINSLOW, JOHN ANCRUM
Commodore (later Rear Admiral) John A. Winslow is shown here in Civil War naval uniform and on the right in 1864 (age 42) posing on board the U.S.S. Kearsarge, a ship he commanded that fought a battle in the English Channel during the war. He was a descendant of Pilgrim Edward Winslow's brother John, who came over to Plymouth in 1621 on the Fortune. The Winslow Heritage Society, which is the family group for descendants of Edward and all his siblings, has more information on John. Because John married Mayflower passenger Mary Chilton all of his descendants are eligible for the Mayflower Society. Not so for other Winslow siblings so check your Winslow lines carefully. Edward had very few descendants. This Chilton line is difficult to trace because numerous Winslows went back and forth between New England and North Carolina in the late 1700s - early 1800s, many were mariners, and there are numerous Joshua - Edward sibling combinations. Based on pretty fragmentary information in the 2 generations after the silver book leaves off, I believe he is a Gen 8 descendant. The "Ancrum" is from his maternal grandfather, John Ancrum, who was chairman of the Committee of Safety for Wilmington, NC during the Revolutionary War. (Thus descendants also qualify for Daughters of the American Revolution and Sons of the American Revolution membership as well as Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War and Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War. Commodore Winslow's line (beginning with his father) is: Edward Winslow, Rev. Edward, Joshua, Edward, Edward, Mary (Chilton) Winslow and her parents, Mr. & Mrs. James Chilton, all 3 of the Mayflower. Both images are National Archives and Records Administration photos. There is a tiny bit of biographical information in John M. Ellicott's The Life of John Ancrum Winslow (NY: GP Putnam & Sons, 1905.) He is the first cousin of Francis, above, and once-removed from Francis's son Cameron, abohve that.

WINSLOW, JOSHUA
This scan shows a black & white reprint of a miniature painted by John Singleton Copley in 1755, when Joshua Winslow was a general in the British army during the French & Indian War. He served in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and when this miniature was made he was a bachelor of about 28-29, with 10 years of military service under his belt. (The precocious Copley was all of 17.) Three years later Joshua would marry Anna Green and become the father of 3 children, including Anna Green Winslow (above), in whose reprinted diary this image may be found. His Gen. 6 birth is in the Chilton silver book and runs: John Winslow, John, John, Mary (Chilton) Winslow and her parents James and Mrs. Chilton (her name unknown), all 3 of the Mayflower. Note that Joshua was not a descendant of pilgrim Edward Winslow. Image and some info from Alice Morse Earle, ed., Diary of Anna Green Winslow, a Boston School Girl of 1771 (Boston & NY: Houghton Mifflin, 1894), pp. iii, ix-xiii, 20, digitized by the New York Public Library.
