I've added an "updated" date so you can see that I do add to this section, which contains photos of Mayflower descendants who have pictures on a findagrave.com writeup but no picture from a public domain source that I can use. (Not all findagrave images are public domain.) An interesting Gen 8 Doty descendant just posted today is Albert Remington, killed in an on-the-job accident in 1901 at age 40, leaving a widow and 5 minor children in Marquette Co, MI. He was the son of a Civil War Union soldier, making his descendants eligible for Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War (DUVCW) or Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW) and he is also a Gen 8 descendant of a Native American ancestor from Martha's Vineyard in MA. The noteworthy aspect of that is that I found this information in an NEHGR article correcting misassumptions and misidentifications made by Charles Banks in his 3-volume History of Martha's Vineyard, including the identity of an as-yet unidentified Native American woman who married the son of English immigrants John & Alice (Brotherton) Daggett, Joseph Daggett, who was born in MA in the 1640s. The article, available on the NEHGS site (americanancestors.org) is in volume 161, published in 2007. The citation is given in my "Findagrave Mayflower Descendants" section (on your left) in the Albert Remington writeup. The article brings the line forward to the mid 1700s so is very useful for your own SE MA genealogical research.
