Pilgrim Peter Brown Society - calling all friends and descendants!

Remember that 2016 New Year's resolution to join a lineage society? If you are a descendant of pilgrim Peter Brown/Browne, or think you are, or just like Mayflower history, a new group was formed at the 2014 Triennial (conference) at Plymouth, MA to focus on Peter Brown. The web address is http://www.pilgrimpeterbrownsociety.org/ and there is a bio of Peter, an issue of the latest newsletter, contact info, photos (not of Peter), a link to his inventory of belongings (and debts) after his death, PPBS officer contact info, and of course, an application form. There are actually 2 application forms, one for applicants who are not descendants documented and approved by the GSMD General Historian, and one for those who are. (The PPBS is an example of a rare instance in which you CAN use one society's lineage paper to gain entry to another.) This is also a lifetime-fee, organization, in this instance $150. This is equal to about 3-5 years of dues for a typical lineage group. The point is to save on overhead costs and not wear out the volunteer staff sending out dues notices each year, and so on. Think of it also as channeling your dues money to promote Mayflower history. The stated goal of the group includes sponsoring research on the history and genealogy of Peter Brown and his family (presumably including both wives, Martha (---) Ford and Mary (---). It may include his brother John Brown, who came to Plymouth later. If you have been frustrated proving a link to Peter, maybe you are one of John's descendants. There is no record of Peter in the Leyden congregation but he is said to have known the Mullins family. How? Is that link the reason he named a daughter Priscilla? And how did he wind up on the Mayflower?
Peter Brown/Browne left three daughters who survived to adulthood and two of them are known to have had children. One married a man named Snow, but there were other Snows in Plymouth Colony in the 1600s. However, the other married a man named Ephraim Tinkham (also spelled Tincum, Tincomb, etc.) If you have an ancestor named Tinkham in Plymouth County during the colonial period, look for a link to pilgrim Peter Brown.

I am a direct descendant of Peter Brown through my great grandmother, Sarah Chipman Tinkham b. 1825. I have two photos of her if you are interested. She married Lucius Ebenezer Durfee. Her father was Alba Tinkham b. 1790 - m. Achsah Hopkins b. 1792.

Hi Joanne, Nice to meet you. It appears we are related through Peter Brown, daughter Mary who marries a Tinkham. Are you also in the Mayflower Society? I am considering joining the Peter Browne Society. I have more time now that I have retired. Hope to meet you one day in Plymouth, Daneta Stewart
