The John & Elizabeth Howland Pilgrim Story with Dave Norton October 23, 2019

[@LookisPranks]

My sister works for the Air Force as a contracting officer.... She recently met another co-worker and was completely shocked when she said, "I am a pilgrim, and my ancestor fell off the boat" John Howland is our ancestor. BLESSED

[@jcook2433]

If John Howland is an ancestor, we are related. 😊 I have heard this story my whole life. Lovely to hear it and see all the pictures!

[@homesteadrevivals]

Great presentation. My family is descended from John and Elizabeth.

[@joebardav]

I am also a descendant of John Howland. This is the first I’ve seen of their story. Wonderful. Touching.

[@greened402]

liar im the actual descendent of him and you are probably older than me and hes my 14th so you miss told or you are lying

[@johnsonacuff1633]

I just found out that John Howland was my 10th Great-grandfather through my Grand-Dad Lucian Augustus Wolcott! I'm blown away & so excited to learn this!

[@glendavertner8906]

@@greened402 That was a nasty remark for you to make.

[@dsoule4902]

Then you're distant cousins with the Baldwin boys.

[@orangeyouhappy2558]

I'm a descendant as well. Hi 😂

[@inmommashands7139]

John Howland is my 13th great grandfather, this is amazing to watch, thank you. I have a geneva Bible that was handed down from 1604 where their names are signed as well their children. It has an inscription that says "follow God all the days of thy life". John had posed it down shortly before he passed away.

[@williamwhite791]

Great stuff here. I am teaching my kids Pilgrim history and John & Elizabeth are their 11th great grandparents on my wife's side. Having an ancestry connection to this great American story really makes it more personal and interesting for them. If America has an original First Family or royal couple, it is the Howlands for sure.

[@michaels7566]

Dave, that was a great presentation. I am a descendant of John and Elizabeth through Hope. I was familiar with some of the Mayflower story, however you provided much more. Thank You.

[@carolynzniewski3875]

So well done. Thank-you for all your work presenting this. There is so much information I will be watching it a second time. Wow 10 children all survived into adulthood. 86 grandchildren. Some darn good genes!

[@CathyFromPensacola]

Thanks for the history lesson! Last year right before Thanksgiving, I learned that I am a descent, along with many others hahaaa! of John and Elizabeth Howland... so exciting!

[@margaretmwilliams9554]

Thank you so much for your presentation. I am also a ninth generation great-granddaughter of John and Elizabeth.

[@rebeccas_language]

Thank for this I just found out I'm their 10th great grandaughter. I'm also related to the Van Buren's and several other early settlers. Thank you so much for this video!!

John and Elizabeth Howland are my 9th great grandparents

[@ThePatchin]

Thank you. I’m a direct descendant of John and Elizabeth and always enjoy learning more about them.

[@davidhorne2326]

I am a descendent, Desire would be the next generation, that I am from. And so on.

[@jodiebrook9579]

Doing some ancestry I discovered that I’m a descendant of John Howland on my maternal grandfathers side. His name was Joseph Baxter. Johns oldest daughter Desire married a Gorham then they had a daughter named Temperance and she married a Baxter and then it was Baxter all the way until my mother’s maiden name.

[@maryconrad]

Interesting and informative presentation. I am also a descendant of John Howland. A 10th great granddaughter.

[@evan-ie3rv]

Idk what I am but my father told me I am a descendant

[@evan-ie3rv]

Wait so we are related?

[@valerier3673]

Same! I'm a 10th great granddaughter. My grandparents have Elizabety Tilleys journal in their possession. My grandmother told me I could read it if she could find it. If I do get a chance to read the book, I'll come back and let you know

[@kennymacrae5787]

Hes also my 11th great grand father on my moms side, pretty cool it linked me to him through family search and ancestry when I done my DNA swab. George bush sr and George Bush jr, jeb bush, roosevelt, Baldwin brothers, Chevy chase, Humphrey bogart, Christopher Loyd and a few other famous ppl are all direct descendants of his

My Grandmother did the research before I came along. She would have loved seeing this. There must be strong genes here because she was a strong lady right up through her 99th year.

9th great grandparents for me. I’d love to visit and see the area with its rich history.

All very interesting and it is nice to see so many relatives. The name Elizabeth is still carried in the most recent generation.

Such a cool story about my 11th great grandparents. I am also related to the brewsters

[@Skunked68]

Hello. I’m also related to both Brewsters and Howlands. Brewsters my 11th great grands. It is hard to imagine “locked” below deck in the dark for the entire trip across the Atlantic. Sometimes candles lit in a wooden ship?? What could possibly go wrong? Unsanitary conditions, likely sickness passed around. Any fickle fate event and one or several of them had passed away earlier, millions of us today would be not. They were way braver than I.

[@karengilliland2439]

Just found out I am descended from John and Elizabeth Tilley Howland, Richard Warren, and Richard More, one of the" Mayflower Bastards ". Makes me very proud.

Wrong. Some of your history is wrong. The riverside home is gone but the basement exists with a newer house on it. It is the only house not facing the current street.
